Ever notice how tv/movie characters often say stuff softly that you'd normally expect to be yelled if said in real life?

[Bethany22]

It's usually the villains in these shows, and most often the female villains. Perhaps it's because these villains, despite the fact that they want something out of the protagonists, they also have power over the protagonists, so they feel as though they do not need to lose total control of themselves when making requests, and so therefore often make requests in a gentle tone of voice? Any reason why directors decide to do this?

I guess its just a different form of anger, when people say aggressive things softly. I guess if the protagonist said no, then the villain would yell stuff out.

I love when they do that. SO cool.

[SnowedIn]

Thank you for MHO!

[dustybiker]

Power is control over self.

[dustybiker]

Thanks for mho.

[Havthrills]

Yes. It's because it's a form of manipulation the villains or the ones that say it use to get their way.

[FunnyGiy]

I really have no idea since they are just movies made for entertainment purposes.

[Noahzaid]

Yes!

I always thought so lol

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Nope, never notice that, maybe on Soap Operas but that's about it

[Guardian45]
