The rule is that extraordinary actions require extraordinary reason.

	Insanity
	Insanity


It seems to me that that kind of insanity only feels realistic and natural when there's a strong, emotional reason for it - a reason that feels natural itself. It's cool to see the prisoners flip out at the end of Paths of Glory - they're under extreme stress, and going crazy is a natural reaction. But if they had lost it at the beginning of the movie, the response wouldn't be justified, and it just would have felt "out there" - the opposite of real emotion! After all, some of the most powerful expressions of passion come from the measures we take to deny that passion. The rule is that extraordinary actions require extraordinary reason. twisted Jelani Gamba · Sat Feb 09, 2008 @ 07:29pm · 0 Comments
