      I literally don’t remember after sitting through that movie twice. Everything felt so contrived to me that my brain could not suspend disbelief long enough to become invested in what was happening.

        I 100% agree, because the film spends ridiculously little time with actual characterization. A lot of time with really long “cinematic” shots, though.

          All good stories are about the characters. If you don’t write them to feel like real people, then everything that occurs doesn’t seem to have any grounding in reality. We are meant to find meaning in stories through the characters because events in a sequence have none without a relatable and consistent characters struggling against them.
