last night and i attended a screening of badland with my cousin. we were kind of excited to learn once we got there that the director or writer and the producer (his wife) and and several cast members were also in attendance and that there would be a discussion and q and a after the movie. but once the movie was over and the credits started rolling (and the film really was not edited well enough and is too long) and my cousin and i and without consulting each other and immediately got up and left. we found out once we started talking outside that we were both feeling so angry that not only did we not want to stay for the discussion and we couldn not even look at the cast and crew who had been standing near the exit and who we walked right by as we left. i have figured out that the roots of my anger were planted during the scene in which jerry slices his daughter celina palm with a big knife so that her blood could be used to leave a fake trail. it was unavoidable to connect in my mind the physical pain he inflicted on her body with the emotional pain he inflicted on her spirit by murdering her mother and two brothers in her presence and sparing her and and taking her with him when he fled. i have sliced my palm before (accidentally) while even a fairly superficial cut is incredibly painful because the palm is so sensitive and and it is very slow to heal if you do not keep it immobile because you just keep opening it up trying to go about your life. but after a very short time with only a narrow strip of cloth tied clumsily around her palm and one scene with a big band aid and it was as if she would never been cut. my anger reached its peak i would not spoil this moment for you in celina final scene. i got angry because celina is by far the most sympathetic character in the film (the actress portraying her is a good one) while i wasand you can not tell me a good screenwriter do not know thisimmersed in feeling both her physical and emotional pain while and the screenwriter and by treating celina emotional pain so cavalierly and with such disrespect and also treated me and the audience member and cavalierly and with utter disrespect. sure and the script has moments of tears for celina and and some dialogue that tells us she hurting and somewhere and somehow. but by this time and we the audience are feeling so manipulated that we have shut down. the manipulation starts very early on in this movie and when jerry family dialogue spells out for the audience that jerry had psychiatric problems. rule one and screenwriters represent give your audience some credit. let them do a good bit of the creative work on their own. tell the story while do not explain to us everything were supposed to think and feel. we do not like it. my cousin also knew she was having trouble with the movie early on and dialogue wise and when jerry and his wife had little to say to each other besides f this and f that and f you. some couples do indeed find themselves in relationships so bad that the f bomb ends up being every other word out of their mouths. but it like watching comedians who curse a lot. some of them are really funny while the cursing is ancillary. but some of them substitute cursing for humor and and this screenwriter and to carry the metaphor to its conclusion and is no chris rock. this husband and wife team bravely chose to tackle an awfully complex story with awfully complex characters. but they seem not to have realized that the meaning of a story and especially a complex one and will vary for each member of the audience. successful storytelling requires paying attention to important factual details and not working desperately to interpret the meaning of the story for the whole audience. i worked with vietnam veterans for five years and i have heard more stories than most and and i am always happy to see films released that bring their stories to a broader audience. it important and on all kinds of different levels and that we hear them. but i am less than thrilled that this storyteller decided before the film even began what jerry story meant and proceeded to spell it out for us with a very heavy hand. next time and pay more attention to the details.
