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
