Ok. So its something im sorta frustrated with in movie and film plots. Its where the characters seem to intentionally not tell other characters things for apparently no reason. So its like a fair amount of the plot would not exist if the characters would just mention relevant things. This is usually in fantasy types like in particular I am seeing it with the magicians and school spirits. I mean maybe behavior like this is common outside my experience but its weird to me.
Not just movies, television shows too. I really, really enjoy the horror/mystery show “From”, but a lot of the nonsense would be eliminated if the characters actually talked to each other.
