[quote=Anonymous]I’ve noticed a lot more exposition in newer movies and tv shows - characters telling each other things that they would already know, for the benefit of the viewer. Things like, “My brother Frank, who has been away at college, is coming to visit this weekend” — when they are talking to a good friend who knows the brother and that he’d been away at college. I’m supposing this is because attention spans are shorter and people are distracted by phones and other things as they’re watching, but it just makes the dialogue so clunky and forced. The worst are period pieces — “My lord father, your brother said…” — Pretty sure that character knows who his own brother is without someone telling him.[/quote]
