1pooh4u Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Cuz no one wants to watch a 3 hour movie about someone on their way to work, most people want a protagonist that has a problem that needs resolution and an antagonist that attempts to thwart that, doesn't have to be violent, maybe a love interest or a family problem, even funny movies have conflict 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornshire Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 "It is conflict that improves the lot of civilization and single being, both. Conflict forces one to better oneself. It forces change, growth, adaption, evolution… or death. These are not out laws, but the universe's. Without conflict you have only stagnation."

tsar4 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Basic narrative stuff. Man against Man, Man against Nature, Man against Himself, Man against Society. Without conflict, there's no story. In other words, "Once upon a time...and they lived happily ever after" would be it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapinator_X Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Life is conflict. If you think about it, every action a person takes is at the expense of something or someone. Something as simple as making food or going to the store is conflict. Something had to become food or gas to sustain a lifestyle. Someone had to suffer to make consumable goods, and every purchase, every move is a victory you celebrate for reaping the benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackiemarie90 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Makes people feel productive without doing anything? Conflict helps us understand the world around us. But we tend not to like it when it happens to us, so people use others to their advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
