I totally get what you mean! It’s fascinating how our brains can physically react to what we see on screen. That “numb tingling” feeling can be a mix of empathy and a kind of mirror response—it’s like our bodies are instinctively trying to process the pain depicted in the movie. It’s a reminder of how connected we are to the emotions and experiences of others, even if it’s just acting! Have there been any specific scenes that really triggered that sensation for you?
