    Music is a pattern of wiggling air. Color is just a frequency of wiggling because all light is wiggling, but not a pattern of frequencies. I think it would be more congruent is the statement were “movies are just the wiggling of the electromagnetic field”.

            None of the human senses are real. It’s all just our brains trying to make sense of the limited information we can get
