The Battle of the Sexes, a scene was designed specifically for the ASMR: here’s what

In the event that while watching de The Battle of the Sexes you have experienced a strange but pleasant feeling of relaxation, do not be surprised: it is simply the result of the authors’ intentions regarding a certain scene in the film with Emma Stone, namely that of the haircut.

Not everyone knows, in fact, that the scene in which the Billie Jean King played by the star of La La Land goes to give a refresh to her look was shot specifically to solicit in the spectators the sensations attributable to theASMR.

For those who do not know what we are talking about, the ASMR (acronym for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) is nothing more than a pleasant and relaxing sensation (described by some as a sort of tingling that starts from the scalp) generally derived from sounds quite specific like whispered voices, scissors and hair dryer sounds and so much more.

All sounds, as you well remember, present in the beauty salon scene: “People work hard to get that video elicit this response. We asked ourselves: ‘Could we get that answer in a cinema full of people?“The director Jonathan Dayton explained some time ago. No doubt about it: mission accomplished! Asmr aside, meanwhile, here is our review of The Battle of the Sexes.
