If you think about it, movie characters hardly say Bye or Goodbye when they’re ending a phone call. Yet both characters somehow telepathically get the hint that the conversation is over.
Movie dialogue should sound like authentic speech, but highly edited. For instance, characters going through the motions of Hi how are you? How was your day? I’m fine. What are you doing? and so on, would certainly put you to sleep.
Does omitting Goodbye from the end of the call help rid a film of redundancy or is it just plain annoying?
It would be boring, gosh! What would ‘goodbye’ mean? Like, ‘am gonna stop acting in the movie right now and get back in later? Bye?’ ????
If they can use ‘Hi’, ‘Heey’, and ‘Hello’, then I personally don’t see any reason why they cannot say ‘Bye’ or ‘Goodbye’. Unless Hollywood is a cult… maybe they think using a word like that, they would lose viewers or something.
There are different ways of saying ‘Bye’ or ‘Goodbye’, eg. ‘Ok, I’ll do that’. Adding ‘Bye’ to this will be verbose and boring.
I don’t understand why they can’t say ‘Bye’, someone explain that to me. From this clip, it seems they don’t say it in film.. but I am pretty sure that I’ve heard this before, someone where in some movie.
I like this post cos black tv shows and movies don’t get it… there’s something annoying bout hearing ‘Goodbye’ unless, I repeat, unless for ’emphasis’.
