A lot of big blockbusters suffer the same problem. You might see how character X got item Y that he/she had in a previous movie or the characters go through the plot without any introspection or change, which makes the end result feel shallow and inconsequential. These films don't contribute much in terms of substance or nuance to the characters. They solely exist because fans obsess over meaningless and superficial details.Dobson wrote: ↑September 22nd, 2018, 6:17 pmI have a huge issue with the script: Han literally lacks any character development in this movie. This is about how he got his name, met Chewie and won his ship, but not about how he became the person he is. He's the same guy from beginning to end. Am I missing something?
Nope but that's true of Indy films too which are a semi-model for this. It's not a pre requisite that the character develop if it's meant to be a rompDobson wrote: ↑September 22nd, 2018, 6:17 pmI have a huge issue with the script: Han literally lacks any character development in this movie.

It usually makes for a more interesting and often better story if the character develops, no? Why should it be acceptable for a film that's meant to be a romp to dispense with character growth altogether?ArmandFancypants wrote: ↑September 22nd, 2018, 8:36 pmNope but that's true of Indy films too which are a semi-model for this.

No, it is not important unless it is about that. Stories can be about other things. Arguably too many film narrative stories are anchored by character growth. It could stand to learn more from the theatre in that regard.Batfan175 wrote: ↑September 22nd, 2018, 8:57 pmIt usually makes for a more interesting and often better story if the character develops, no?

This is correct. Things like plot / character / story / theme matter only as much as the particular movie wants them to. Otherwise Man With a Movie Camera would be the worst movie ever made instead of one of the best.ArmandFancypants wrote: ↑September 22nd, 2018, 11:26 pm
