I agree with this article. Olivia Pope is a great antihero. She is fun to watch, and is not necessarily justified in everything she does. I have read that one of the rules of cinema is to make your protagonist so likable that the audience sort of roots for him or her even when he or she does terrible things. That cinematic rule can also be applied to television, of course. Viewers like Olivia, and they feel sort of loyal to her even when she does wrong things.

I completely agree that the feelings in the film are awesome, and I can relate to the feeling that someone else has “stolen” your best friend. Someone great once said that even in a comedy, you have to keep the audience interested in the dramatic parts of the story, like emotions. Personally, I don’t really like poop jokes or raunchy jokes in general, but I still find the film funny and great. I certainly want to see more from the actors involved, which makes me excited for the “Ghostbusters” remake!

I agree with you that splitting films is often unnecessary, but I also agree that it is working well for Mockingjay so far. I enjoyed Mockingjay Part 1 a lot, and I may have missed seeing action just a little bit, but I like what the filmmakers did with suspense.
