In movies, you often have people talking in the background, to establish a location or a time period. For example, in a MisterSandmanSequence. For example, in DisneysHercules, when Hercules and Phil first enter Thebes, there\'s a pita bread street vendor in the background.

In movies, you often have people talking in the background, to establish a location or a time period. For example, in a MisterSandmanSequence. For example, in [[DisneyHercules Disney\\\'s Hercules]], when Hercules and Phil first enter Thebes, there\\\'s a pita bread street vendor in the background. You can\\\'t see him (at least this troper has never seen him), you just hear his voice, \\\"Pita bread! Get your pita bread!\\\"
So far so good.
If you turn on ClosedCaptioning, then Hercules and Phil enter Thebes, and suddenly the words \\\"Pita bread! Get your pita bread!\\\" appear on the screen. There\\\'s nobody visibly talking and the words do nothing to add to the scene. In fact, they are a huge *distraction* while the viewer tries to figure out who\\\'s speaking and what the significance is. Like the video game examples, it\\\'s designed to enhance a scene but instead distracts the viewer away from it.
