Happy Endings and Integral Film
If we add layers of complexity to our characters and story are we taking away the simplicity so often needed for happy endings.
Yes and no.
It is really a matter of what one does with their integral analysis of story and character depending on the type of film and audience. This blog takes the position that integral analysis will add a depth and width to the characters, the relationships and the story but that is for the director to do with as the director decides.
The director will be more informed and can create more authentic and real story and character elements but that does not mean the director has to load the movie down with drama and layers of complexity. The film can still be simple, the transformations of the character can still be simple, just more real, more authentic, based in a solid understanding of how advanced sentient beings move through stages of life.
But if the film does call for layers of complexity the director is ready and able to provide more authentic and layered karma for a character to have to overcome.
Additionally we can avoid those scenarios where a character transforms but it is completely unbelievable because a person of that level or psychograph would never make that kind of transformation. Also we can avoid making one of those historical movies that applies higher levels of consciousness than what was available in the historical period represented.
For an audience that is at integral or ready to go integral there is the opportunity to explore presenting and connecting many more perspectives than other audiences may allow. Providing an interesting chance to create new widths of happy endings.
