So I’m on alert last night and as I often do on alert I found an offbeat movie to watch. It’s a stranger than normal movie with a combination of subtitles and English speaking parts and a lot of dialogue. The main characters are two broken people who find each other and start to fall in love despite their shitty lives, but of course they are lying to each other and keeping dark secrets. ***SPOILER ALERT*** I give away the ending and the movie title at the bottom. But really you don’t want to waste your time on this one.
It’s a great writing tactic to let the reader/watcher know what a character should do, but is too stupid or hard-headed to do and you are hoping beyond hope that they will pull their head out and do the right thing. The writer has two ways to go with this ultimately. You can give the satisfying finish where they actually end up finally making the right choice and or you can go the crappy way and have it go horribly wrong when they can’t or won’t make the right decision.
