Hey ...a short , snappy and inventive articule ! How many films have I sat through and wondered ... "Hey-up, what's that bird I'm hearing up in that tree/hanging on to that cliff/flying low over the sea ?" My estimate, using the Füchshäber-Löbeling Equation = 317 In much the same way as every book should have an index, every film should have subtitles , or little arrows or whatever, telling you useful and interesting things about all sorts of stuff.... especially, in my case, what all those birds are that I can hear and/or see. Especially the "hearing" bit. I mean, education, education, education. With all that modern technology, you could even personalise the idea .... you could instruct your smartphone to "tell" the film to "inform you" about all the birds and bird songs in the film as they happen up there on the screen ... and the person next to you could instruct hers to inform her about where the female lead got her lipstick from .. it's win-win all round. And when someone in the film goes into a shop and buys lots of stuff, you could tell the film to show you a quick and clever way of adding up the bill in your head. That sort of happens in one of the Jonathon Creek stories. There ... a brilliant idea that will almost certainly never happen. It was MY idea as well. But I will allow anyone who wants to "do" it to do it for free. Whereas lots of things we don't want seem to multiplying exponentially. Right ...the music ... a "literal" version of ...... .... (make a little) birdhouse in your soul .....
