There's a bizarre insistence on how a story should be. 'The protagonist must be sympathetic!' they say. Whatever that means. I never engage in that discussion. I never use that word, 'sympathetic.' I just know 'interesting.'

  • -- Alexander Payne 亚历山大·佩恩

对于一个故事应该是什么样的,有一种奇怪的坚持。“主角必须有同情心!””他们说。不管这意味着什么。我从不参与那种讨论。我从来没用过‘同情’这个词。我只知道“有意思”。
