#i'm not sure what that says? is it reflective of a selfish societal shift?

i think the scream franchise is an interesting case study in how movies have gone from giving characters some backstory but mostly focusing on plot development to very character-driven stories where an emotional arc is seen as pivotal to a movie
#scream#wes craven#sydney prescott#in the first two sydney has all this trauma but it's not the focus#whereas in scream 5 and 6. and even 4#you see much more focus on the main characters' emotions and their reckoning with something#i'm not sure what that says? is it reflective of a selfish societal shift?#or is it just more engaging storytelling?#maybe it's just reflective of a more self-aware society? is that a neutral thing? or a bad thing?#i found myself more invigorated and pleased by scream 5/6#but maybe that's because of the upgrades on plot twists and realism#however the OG cast in the first film#while opaque#remain the most magnetic to me...there is something appealing about filling in the blanks of their characters#but i do enjoy the sisters in the rebooted franchise quite a lot too#so idk#text
