Rorschach’s Journal. October 12th, 1985: Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout “Save us!”… and I’ll whisper “no.”

MEN IN BLACK 3 SPOILERS BELOW
So when watching Men in Black 3, I came across something mildly intriguing. When they resolve a plot point regarding Agent J’s ability to remember his partner, Agent K, when everyone else has forgotten him, we are given a contrived “Oh you must have been there!! Let me know how it was!” by some secondary character who’s primary function was to act as an expository device. This combined with Agent K’s earlier mention of “Don’t speak ill of your father” and Agent J’s response “I know man, but he wasn’t around.” led me to put two and two together and as soon as we see the next important authority figure (The colonel at Cape Canaveral) we can immediately see that this is the father of Agent J. And that he is going to die there.
Now i don’t know if it’s just me, (My girlfriend was caught by surprise) but i found it odd that they had dropped in these not so subtle clues so that when this stuff does occur in the film, it’s not seen as a Deus Ex Machina, which we all know is apparently the worst way to resolve your film. If they didn’t put these hints in early during the film, the audience wouldn’t feel as satisfied when they come to the segment with Agent J’s father and his younger self.
Now, this isn’t to say that my enjoyment of the film was hindered. I really enjoyed myself and found the film to be extremely entertaining and rewarding as a viewer. But as a film student I feel as though I have to question the very nature of putting these contrived plot points into the film? Surely there is a better way of dropping subtle hints in so that your more learned viewers aren’t going to immediately “get it” but I guess the films main audience is the blockbuster goers.
Something to think about?
