Regardless of place and time, it just appears as a common rule that people spontaneously leave the theater before the official ending of the movie. As for them, a switchboard is not part of the movie itself. Even watching the movie at home does not include watching the switchboard in the end.
The whole is different from its united parts. It is not a simple sum of its pieces but a totality itself. Gestaltism is based on this holistic brain operational principle. Spreading the principle of totality to other fields, I can only conclude that there’s no separated observation – what would be a book without covers, a painting without frame, a music composition without G clef, a play without final bow. It’s simply not possible to observe part of an art piece separately. Where did the majority that doesn’t share my view get this idea in the first place?
I’d blame it on speed and acceleration. Among fast and furious food, travel arrangements, books made of real book summaries, rooms-to-go, and other masticated not-for-here-but-ready-to-go things, there’s nothing like short version of movie on the market. Therefore, owners of this preoccupied helter-skelter and pell-mell planet should start producing instant movies with limited duration. No switchboard, of course. Final result of that production would be surprisingly hilarious.
I don’t even want to think of passive indifference of the movie crew creators as the eventual reason.
