Great time was had by all, and it was particularly wonderful seeing some new faces. I have posted the video analysis of The Babadook to the main Dramatica site. If you missed it, feel free to watch. It actually had a very solid storyform (probably the reason it scored 98% on Rotten Tomatoes). Enjoy!
Watched it this morning and thought it went along fairly well with what I had in my head from watching it a year ago. I was hoping to participate last night, but alas it didn’t work out. Who knows, if I get my ducks in a row I might just be back west next year.
I could be mistaken but I don’t think we ever got back around to Character Growth last night. As the MC and OS are in a horizontal relationship, it’s a STOP story. What is it that Amelia must stop?
She needs to stop suppressing her grief. By acknowledging it, she’s able to move on (the whole story, as I saw it, was an allegory which I wrote about here: https://thebarkbitesback.wordpress.com/2014/11/05/560/).
