profit driven

Like with most things in life, it depends.

>>84880672
Neither. Depends on the film. Your image for instance, it is all about the plot and the puzzle of the Thing, not the character arcs.

What about for the viewers

>>84880672
Both are necessary.

Look at action films like Die Hard. What makes it great isn't just the plot - it's also all the whacky characters.

Compare that to all the throwaway action films with cookie-cutter characters.

Character is plot

>>84880672
Story driven

Most action films lack a real plot too tho.

Atmosphere-driven.

But the plot is driven mostly by the characters' paranoia and mistrust for each other even if they don't have clearly defined arcs

>>84880672
plot is an artifice to entertain plebs, real kino are character studies that offer insight into the human condition

tarantino or transformers
