How hard is it to say goodbye? What the actual fuck?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

This is part of a bigger movie trope which is basically "ain't nobody got time for that". You never see them lock the door behind themselves when leaving the house, or fumble to find their keys, or any of these small actions that are actually required in real life just gets skipped over during the editing unless there's a specific reason the audience needs to see it.

Focus groups show that the audience gets confused by the word "goodbye" and think the movie is over and leave.

They kept getting bad reviews about how the movie was only 37 minutes long and had an unsatisfying story arc.
