Are local movies mostly stuck in screenwriting? What do you think? In recent years, instead of adding depth to characters, local films keep using those cramped story formulas. For example, under the label “family drama,” have the number of movies where everyone looks down on each other, filled with melodramatic dialogue but feeling more like a marketing gimmick than a story, decreased? Instead of fleshing out a character thoroughly, filmmakers settle for cheap shortcuts that tie everything up in the ending. Yet in world cinema, good screenwriting means being able to convey a character’s inner world breathlessly. I think that’s almost nonexistent in local films.
