I'm really wondering if Hollywood screenwriters have to sign a contract
where they make an oath that in any story where there are multiple
characters, if one of them is wounded, sick or otherwise not completely
right, they always, and I mean always, have to hide it from the others,
even in situations where there's literally zero reasons to do that, it
makes absolutely no sense, it has no purpose whatsoever, and it only
makes things worse for everybody, and even if telling the others would
actually be beneficial.

I'm sick of seeing this again and again and again. It's like a holy rule
of screenwriting. It has been seen in like a million movies, and there's
no sign of it ever stopping.
