There are more of course. Q talks about some specific movies, or how certain events are like a movie, but I have been pondering the question, what makes a good movie? I have been thinking about the events currently unfolding, and movies.
Movies contain many elements. Heroes, villains, action, tension, suspense, character arcs, gadgetry, symbolism, story, overcoming great odds, journeys, special effects, dialog, schemes.... etc. Why would we be told to, think movie? One thought I've had is we were being primed to expect a movie level of absurdity to manifest in reality. Like the absurdity of the old Bond villains, set on world destruction. I always found those characters so extreme as to be absurd, but now it seems reality contains more than Bond villian levels of absurdity. We were being told, yes, such evil is real. Such plans are on motion. Believe that you are in mortal danger, and the future of humanity is in question.
I actually disagree with that.
A great script and willing actors
I think that's more of what we're seeing
To disagree is fine. I simply wrote what Q said.
Q drop #461
What makes a movie GOOD?
GREAT actors?
Q
I know
That was a question, not an affirmation though
AH yeah, I know
I was just pointing the fact that in this particular case it's not an affirmation (and there are some downright affirmations in some posts), people often will quote this as an affirmation, when in fact it wasn't.
The best part of a good movie, is a satisfying ending.
Nothings worse than a movie with a cliffhanger and a cancelled sequel.
Tell that to The Empire Strikes Back.
Yes but that is a special case, because you know the story isn't over. If it just ended there it wouldn't be such a lauded film.
True dat. If this movie ends with our Empire being destroyed, I'm partying like an Ewok.
I suppose they could edit in actual video of bad guys in action planning their treachery.
