Re: ^^^ Kerm and Levi get it
Posted By: Kermit <kermi7@mac.com>Date: 11/22/12 12:16 p.m.

In Response To: ^^^ Kerm and Levi get it (Ibeechu)


: However, I disagree with the idea that the Chief talking to himself was a bad
: thing. I really liked it. He's never been introspective before. Having him
: just react silently would be what he always does. I see this as character
: progression. In any other context, you'd probably be right about it being
: overly expository or something. But for the Chief, who pretty much only
: talks if he has to, saying something like that (and to nobody but himself)
: is a big step in an interesting direction.

You see, I think he thought it without saying it, because I was thinking it without him saying it, and by putting that dialogue in there, they stole the pleasure of the connecting the dots on my own away from me. That's the trick of good story telling, leaving something for the audience to do, but not too much.

It's hard, and reasonable people can disagree on the question. Happy Thanksgiving, bud.
