Probably more like they do in Thomas Vinterberg's JAGTEN, for example, where every single statement is answered with a reply, or as 'woollen as possible', so that it's taken in the most ambigious and negative way:
-"So, did you molest that child?"
-"Do you really need to ask me that question?"
-"But did you? Can't you just be honest?"
-"Why have we come to this?"
etc.etc.
Really, really annoying...
Even characters IN movies hate annoying dialog. I recall Sheriff Walter Matthau in LONELY ARE THE BRAVE asking his Deputy William Schallert why he has to answer a question with a question.
Matthau: Locate McNeill, wherever he is, send him out for chewing gum.
Deputy: McNeill? Right.
Matthau: When I tell you to watch that machine [police radio], you say, "Machine? Right." When I give you a message for McNeill, you say, "McNeill? Right." There's something about the way you make a question of it and then say, "Right," that gets on my nerves.
Deputy: Nerves?
Matthau:[sighs] Right.

mostly in heist films, the FBI or law enforcement seem to ignore witnesses or finger prints or other obvious clues that would easily lead to the capture of the criminal heroes. it's like they just sort of get put aside and hope you don't remember they were there.

I also don't like it because it sort of creates sympathy for the villain and "justification" for their turn to evil. Such causation isn't absolute. Some kids are bullied and grow up bullies, some kids are bullied and grow up kind and empathetic.
Exactly true. It'd be like making a biopic of young Adolf Hitler showing a Jewish kid being mean to him in grade school as justification for the Holocaust.
And it inherently weakens good movie villains to show their "tragic" backstory that led them down the path to being a baddie. It killed the epic ominousness of Darth Vader to show him as a mop-topped eight-year-old squealing "Yippee...!" and as a creepy teenage stalker who keeps badgering Natalie Portman with such "romantic" come-ons as, "I'll be miserable if you don't love me back!" Do we need a Die Hard prequel with young Hans Gruber being led down a path to terrorism and bank robbery?
All good points, well-taken. However, there are some interesting possibilities for backstory on the Gruber brothers.
As young boys the sibling rivalry between the Gruber brothers was rather fierce, with both competing for attention.
On a few occasions, Simon was even known to subdue and bind Hans and lock him in a closet. Then when Mother Gruber would call them to dinner and Hans didn’t show, Simon would cruelly laugh and say, “Look Ma, no Hans!”

Couples never engage in normal conversation. They banter. Double entendres. Sarcasm. Puns. Insults. Sexual hints.
Yuk.
