  • the movie should have told us that

I suppose if a viewer had this criticism, it means they were unsatisfied with the amount of information they received in the movie.

  • no, it shouldn’t tell, it should show

The filmmaker has two ways to convey information:
through exposition
through drama

The audience could be given more information through exposition, but this should be reserved for minor background details. Parts of the story that are extremely important must be portrayed dramatically, or you will get people like me and DrDre who don’t like the movie and aren’t satisfied with what we’ve been presented.

  • well, i didn’t see that, they should have told me

I think this is the same point you made in #1?

lol, of course it is, as i am showing the circular nature of these discussions.
