@cessonmute It's an honor to be inconvenienced by people you love

[David Perell Clips @PerellClips]

Bad dialogue kills good stories. Anne Lamott shares notes on dialogue and the one dead simple way to avoid cringy conversations on the page:

"Now it's just the voice memo on your phone. If you read your dialogue aloud, you'll cringe when you hear sentences that ring false, sounding like someone who had ample time to rewrite them beforehand."

I prefer patches of dialogue with only quotation marks, without constant 'he said, she said' attributions, which would be a drag.

I should know who is speaking through the verbs within the dialogue itself and the rhythm of their speech.

You can make dialogue interesting without trying too hard. At the end of your soliloquy, someone says 'Good to know,' and you burst out laughing. Or they look at you blankly and say 'Whatever.' Or 'No problem.'"

@KUD_ACTIEHELD Fair enough

[Freya @SentimentalFaye]

I get the frustration with unexplained elements, and I’m not saying there aren’t plot holes. But the movie requires viewers to think and empathize with the characters.

[ACTIEHELD @KUD_ACTIEHELD]

@SentimentalFaye @shelfsemporium Plot holes and it's just the characters wondering around and having a feeling they should go somewhere. That's so incredibly lazy writing

[Freya @SentimentalFaye]

@MaximusThinkin @shelfsemporium And that's fair. At least discussions like these show we’re still engaged and questioning the story.

[Freya @SentimentalFaye]

The filmmakers trusted us to piece things together. I still have questions too. Some things are hinted at but not fully explored, and some are purposely left open for the viewer to question.

[Freya @SentimentalFaye]

I think it’s intentional that some things are left vague. It serves the story better than hand-holding exposition and keeps the audience awe-struck instead of bored with full explanations.

My dearest sister, let your thoughts rest around me. You're living this life for the first time, too; please be kind to yourself.

Feels like Olivia Rodrigo scored an entire movie with this album.

[Freya @SentimentalFaye]

the moment you go from shrinking yourself to keep the peace to realizing you actually deserve to have high standards after everything you just tolerated
