This demonstrates that continuing versus stopping an internal perturbation affects behavior. describing this as the model seeking and experiencing relief inserts an anthropomophizing explanation that the experiments haven’t established.
How is this different than studying pain in humans?
I find this hard to believe. Both seasons of The Rehearsal we're about him inserting himself into the story he's documenting. I think it's a big part of what makes his art so good; blurring the like between documentarian and documentee (?) is the point.
That said, those chilling shots of Holmes looking like a sociopath... I think the effect is really increased by the magic of filmmaking. Close-ups, cuts between faces that potentially extend the timing of awkward silences.. the music in the background. All documentaries should be taken with a hefty serving of salt.
