However, the character's intention might be more abstract to begin with. <br /><br />DaveRaving Dave Hermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15498581343125191660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713900942729528341.post-66923801735059270182010-07-09T15:41:06.661+02:002010-07-09T15:41:06.661+02:00Dave, very thoughtful post and academic.

I find most films boring nowadays when you look at the character's intention, so simple and very very boring. Not cinematic.<br /><br />I think a character's intention has to be cinematic. And to do that we have ask this question for example, the best example, what was Willard's intention in Apocalypse now?<br /><br />Just one example. But good example I think.<br /><br />If you ask a group of writers to write their version of Apocalypse Now in the 80s and currently, they would most likely make it into a dry war movie or a stupid video games that would never strike gold at Cannes or in the history books of Cinema.<br /><br />JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
