Re: Injecting heart and likeability
This statement is demonstrably false. I won't bother listing the countless number of successful films that ignored or entirely destroyed these "rules". Tree of Life didn't fit these apparently innate rules, yet it was one of the most emotionally-charged cinema going experiences of my life.
You train dogs, not audiences.
(P.S. Before someone jumps down my throat and says "But Tree of Life was a unique and extreme case" think of what we are trying to achieve here - an emotional connection with the audience through the art of storytelling. If that is possible in one film that doesn't follow the rules, then it is possible in any of them.)
