The Dos and Don’ts of Breaking The Fourth Wall

Magnolia Forever writes:
Film, in general, is a form of storytelling. Every movie tells a story, with a few rare exceptions such as Un Chien Andalou or Wavelength, and those avant-garde films that simply set out to shoot for the sake of shooting, with their own personal reasons. But most movies are stories. They grab the viewer and pull them into the drama. They make them part of it. They involve them. They make the viewer feel like they are part of the story, that they are inside something that’s a film, but feels more like real life. That’s what a movie’s job is, right? Right.

Agreed. The problem in the more recent comics is that Deadpool is TOO meta, which means he lacks originality...the very thing he loves most.
