Last week, I saw a movie I didn’t like very much, but I found the fact that I didn’t like it interesting. I got about halfway through writing the review when I realized that I would rather talk about it than write. Hence this week’s edition of After the Credits. I didn’t really get into the idea of empathy (and maybe I should have), but another person being a human isn’t reason enough to feel for them (especially when, as in a film, they aren’t actually human). There needs to be something more there.
Good films have that something else, the thing that makes you feel something other than disinterest when terrible things happen to its characters. But when a character in Vic + Flo Saw a Bear had her leg broken by someone she had apparently wronged in the past? I didn’t feel a thing.
