A technique used in filmmaking where the director makes a character do something illogical or random for the situation in order to reveal vital information for the plot.
This phenomenon was found and named after a scene in the movie ‘Get Out’ when the main character, Chris, was being hypnotized in the chair but it was ineffective because he had cotton balls in his ears. Since the hypnosis was still a threat he should’ve left the cotton balls in but he removes them due to the director needing to reveal to the audience how he was able to beat it.

Why did Arnold throw away that weapon he could’ve used it moving forward?! Oh that’s just the director throwing a Cotton Ball at us to show he had it the whole time.
