Or is it that the kids couldn't get through the movie because it was actually boring to them? Isn't it possible that movie-makers are just out of touch with the demo?
Honest question here. I've left boring movies before, too, and it's been awhile since anyone called me a kid.
The protagonist is put into a situation where he is drawn from a position of security and is force to embark on a journey to resolve the situation.
The journey exposes the protagonist to a foreign environment and they must learn how to deal with the new situation. Often given tools to master their destiny.
After some time the new situation goes bad to due to the protagonist failing to understand the exact nature of the new environment, mistakes are made and the protagonist is put at some level of emotional or physical danger.
Some miraculous event occurs which breaks the protagonist out spiralling chaos.
Turns out people don't like stories that which fail to follow that pattern :)
- Lonely woman meets strange man,
- Man drags woman around,
- Woman is *mildly inconvenienced*, this is key, causes conflict,
- Situation is somehow happily resolved.
Gahhh. No wonder I haven't set foot in a movie theater for years.
It might be awesome but you're not on reddit now; downzoat.
Basically I'm still at a loss as to what you felt you were adding to the conversation?
