18 years later, *The Matrix* remains a near-perfect movie. Screw "hard sci-fi." What counts is emotional truth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix#/media/File:The_Matrix_Poster.jpg … …
It's true the way that abc : abd :: xyz: ? has the true completion wyz, even if most of the time people reply xyd.

Emotional truth isn't about the most common emotion & outcome, it's about the emotion & outcome that *fits* and snaps everything into place.
-
That sounds to me the same as saying those are the "compelling" emotions & outcomes. Is what ways is that "true" beyond "truly compelling"?
-
E.g. consoling yourself by saying death is natural, trying to convince yourself you don't want to live, is an emotional generalized-lie.
-
It's not a lie because there's a True emotion written on stone, but because there's a more fitting answer you're motivated to overlook.
-
How big a deviation do you see between stories that "fit" in your sense vs those that feel compelling, pull you in, make you identify, etc.
-
When people have always heard xyd but are ready to hear wyz, showing them wyz is one powerful method to achieve compellingness and empathy.
-
By this method I can show you a character who is more like yourself than you are.

I would've gone with "xza"

And that's why there's more than one possible good movie.
