I think it's something with some level of investment? This is something that genuinely fascinates me as a storyteller, how a character that appears only in the first fifteen minutes of the movie causes such an impact.

I think, for most people, is because they see their lives, their humanity, and the focus of it in that person. So when she appears as the light of the character's life, it FEELS as the light of that character's life. So when she passes away, the audience feels the same grief as the main character, because a main character's experiences become that of the audience as well, when written well.

I don't know if it's a lack of empathy or not, but this is the sort of storytelling prowess I would love to be able to achieve: Create a beloved character and an engaging story in an incredibly short story.

“Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.”—-Kurt Vonnegut. For me, Ellie in Up made an impact because of her desire to go to Paradise Falls, and how that desire played out across her life.
