"Character Development" Discussion

The pupose of this thread is to discuss what is meant by "Character Development." The idea for this topic stems from this discussion.

Here are some questions to get people started (feel free to add):
  • What is meant by "character development"?
  • What are various ways a character is developed?
  • How is character development different in film versus other mediums (i.e. theater, novels)?
  • How does repeat viewings of the same movie affect one's perception of charcter development?
  • What movies are good examples of character development? why?
  • What movies are examples of poor character development? why?
  • How does character development differ by genre?
