Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

It is difficult to get all of these in a single film.
However:
Art direction that makes you love design.
Cinematography at such scale and intimacy that you love light, shadow, depth of field, and the rule of thirds
Writing that makes you love language, references, and lived experiences
Casting that extols the virtues of interpersonal chemistry
Editing that forces you to feel pace, tone, and contemplation as the story demands
A plot that twists, turns, and delivers a gut punch when you least expect it
A twist-in-the-end that, on reflection (or re-watch), makes total sense.
Compelling, developing characters responding to irresistible forces that wash through their being
Murphy's Laws in full force: failure is an option, main characters can die
