I had NO need...AT ALL...to know what happened or how it happened as far as the film went as a whole.
I'm not thick. I know it was simply a stepping stone to the drama and what happened does not matter to the drama unfolding.
I said that. And I still don't care what happened as far as that goes.
But my problem had nothing to do with the drama of the film, or my needing hand holding, It had to do with basic, GLARING, logic in a key scene.
You build a shelter right by your house for an event LIKE THIS. So why did you not use it?
It opens up questions!! It's called taking an interest.
And that's nothing to do with drama, emotion, or deeper friggin meanings.
I don't give a damn what happened or how...until you have such an obvious question as that.
Going by the Viggo and his family, they stayed at their home after what happened for years!
Years!
So how come the owner of the shelter didn't go to it in all that time?
This opens up the question of were most people killed instantly...or not.
That's basic interest in the movie!
It's observation and thought on what is unspooling in front of you. Not watching the film like you're staring at a blank wall, noticing nothing.
'Shit happens' and a shrug seems to me very little interest is invested in the film. |
Hmmmm...fair enough. I don't get it though.
I guess we just watch films differently. I'm not even sure I understand exactly what you mean by "basic interest in the movie". Despite being involved in a film I sinply cannot imagine asking those questions you ask. They seem so completely inconsequential and irrelevant. There just is a shelter that was not used - that's all you need to know. Surely?
As I said, I wasn't having a go at you, sorry if I got your back up. I was really being insecure as to how I watch films not attacking how you do. So, apologies if I annoyed.
