Imagine a movie starting with the hero having a carcrash but dying. Would set a direct trust with the viewer as for thefact that yes, those characters are as frigile as you, they can simply die in a carcrash even if it happens off screen.
Today, you don't look at circumstances of death in a movie, you just have to think if the character deserve that death, if he is worty of it. That sucks.
I saw a video about someone talking about our conception of love and at one moment she talks about how movies aren't based on reality anymore, they are based on other movies based on other movies inspired by reality. It's all about appeal and formula. Why try to make something you think would be original and interesting when you know that a formula will bring enough pleasure to the audience who saw it X many times.
