The Movements were seriously stupid as hell, and the actors looked extremely dumb performing them. Like embarrassingly stupid looking. I would be ashamed if I was caught on camera looking so ridiculous. They all should receive Emmy nominations for keeping a straight face during the unintentionally hilarious ending.
shareThey convinced the actors to do them via a paycheck. Do them and get payed, don't do them and don't get payed.
shareMoney. It's a job, just like any other.
Also, believe it or not but until you've done drama classes, you won't realize that those movements are not the stupidest things you're asked to do as an actor. I can think of a few exercises I've done in drama courses that are way more embarrassing and pointless.

Its just a dance. You think it would be hard to get the typical drama person to dance? LOL.
shareI have the same problem with Gene Kelly movies. And all musicals actually. The way the actors have to do these weird movements once and a while. It's like, who does that.
shareI disagree. I can't fathom why people hated the movements. I thought they were great. They were just weird enough.
But, ultimately, the whole thing is nonsense. But I really did like the final few minutes.
I thought it was really beautiful when the 5 were doing the movements in the last episode. I thought it was powerful and poetic. However, I don't understand why that caused the shooter to just stand there and watch them. I would have expected him to be either be shouting at them or saying "What the hell??" or opening fire on them.

Somebody is just jealous they can't dance like an angel
The movements conveyed rage, healing, beauty, acceptance. They weren't meant for people to watch and say, "Oh, that's pretty choreography."
shareI thought the choreography was awesome. Reminded me of contemporary dance. Sure...a little odd at first but I was surprised by how well they all performed it. Sharp and graceful.....not as easy as it looks.
shareAgreed. Wonderful choreography. To work together in unison in the face of mortal danger was an act I found quite moving. The Movements required teamwork. Those who has heard the OA's story achieved together what none could have accomplished alone. While the derision of some is hardly surprising, it is unfortunate. We are stronger together than alone. I saw this at the Women's March. I saw it at O'Hare this past weekend.
shareTotally! :)

I'd say an actor's main job is to do stupid looking things in front of others. How do you think they look when they are doing CGI heavy movies?
shareYou pay someone enough money they would just about do anything hence why there's an 'adult' entertainment industry.
I disagree. Movement was so vital to this story line. And I could watch Brandon Perea do those movements all day. He is extremely talented!
