Actors Vs Writers
I'm getting kind of tired of people defending bad writing by saying how beautiful a scene or moment was or how much they like a character in those moments. Just because the actor are amazing enough to make you feel what they want you to feel in those scene doesn't mean the writing in that moment or leading up to that moment was good or validated enough of a payoff to justify what the writer are putting down. In media on any screen that tends to be the actors job. Any good actor can pull you in even if its not the best writing. Case and point the Star War Prequels. A great actor can break yout heart even when the story diresction or action have you scratching your head. They can have you love a character that you have no business even liking. A moving scene is sometimes, unfortunately more and more often now a days due to a actor then good writing or the deadly duo of both working together. It seems now a days writer go for the shock value then the content. Its always been my veiw that actor job to make us feel it and a writer job to make us believe it. If you cry\laugh\cheer or etc. During a scene thats the actor doing their job. If you look back and it still makes sense to you and you still believe and feel that way even away fro the media itself thats the writer doing theirs. Lately I have seen some pretty damn amazing acting for some down right shitty writer. Feeling vs Believing is a very real thing in media lately and it makes me incredibly sad to think of what they could have made if it wasnt so. Think of all those moving moments mixed in all the bad writing or cheap ending that leave the bitter taste of copout in your mouth and just how much more they could have been. Even if it wasnt the ending you want or were expecting it would still have ascended those moments if the direction\story\characteristics was believable.
