Where and when did people come up with the notion that actors are constantly improvising their lines and big reactions? And why is popular opinion so hellbent on it to the point that it makes actors seem less talented for the thing they are hired for: acting! They are not being hired to write! It’s actually bad in most cases if actors are expected and encouraged to improvise lines—especially in dramas! Certain comedies, sure, but those actors are being hired for the skill of improvisation, because it’s a different skill set. A good actor can take a script and deliver the lines as written in a way that feels organic and true!!! Why do some people not get that?! The same is true for blocking and certain actions! Like, are people not considering how shitty it would be to work on a collaborative creative project where there’s no agreement ahead of time?? Sex scenes and arguments especially!! Where’s that interview with Billy Zane where he thought the people who assumed he improvised the table/tea setting throwing were ludicrous? Could you imagine how scary that would be for everyone?!! And moreover, they have to know where to film if the camera is kept steady nevermind the lighting and boom mics jfc. Do people really think actors are the ones calling the shots from writing to cinematography to music to ADs to choreography. That is the director’s job!!! If they are not doing that then they are a bad director!!!

I don't think the Trinity is that hard to understand or explain. o:

I usually think of it like this:

You have a friend; they have 3 jobs.

They have a job as a engineer, a cashier, and a janitor.

You wouldn't go to your friend in each job and ask "Are you the same guy I know????" - You know it's the exact same friend at each job, even though they're doing something different at each job.

Or think of it in gaming terms:

It's like someone with three different characters in a game. They switch between each character whenever needed, but you know it's the exact same person controlling each character, despite the different skills/class abilities.

Heck, even further think of someone who changes their hair color + style every day. You don't question or ask if they're the same person from when you first saw them. You know it's the same person, just different presentation.

Edit:

Ngl it's be pretty cool to see peoples responses to my post.

My original intention was/is to introduce the idea of the trinity to someone who is completely full-on-noob new to Christianity as a whole, and who may not immediately get the idea of the trinity. I do hope I got to help some people at least. ^^
