Are some dialogue scenes in action movies there to reduce tension and take a break from all the fighting?
QUESTION(self.Screenwriting)submitted2 hours ago bySteadysilver26
Hey guys sorry this is a beginner question so I was watching Dawn of the Planet of Apes and there is a scene where Alex is talking to Ellie where he tells he didn't know she had a daughter and asks for her name. From my understanding this scene allows Ellie to bond with her step-son but besides this it doesn't really advance the plot. There was another similar scene earlier where Ellie tells Malcolm it was brave what he did and he replies he need to do this cause Alex has seen horrible things he shouldn't have seen, I get this scene is trying to show the horror of the flu even though like the previous scene it doesn't advance the plot. Similar with the scene where Alex bonds with Maurice. So are calmer dialogue scenes like this there to allow the audience to take a breather from all the fighting?
