So, if I understood right, breaking the fouth wall means when the characther talk at the camera, or share your thought with the camera, and The audience and the characther will be closer. But, if the characther dosen't say a word, just look at the camera, it's a breaking fourth wall too?

it could be that, but it's more like with looking into the camera, talking to an assumed audience, the characters know they are just characters in a story, not actual 'real people'. They acknowledge the fact that they are actors, and are aware that there are people watching them. In the Truman show for example, this is especially powerful as he actually realizes he is being filmed, so with breaking the fourth wall, he addresses the audience.

The first ever time I got legitimately terrified by a 4th Wall Break was 3 days ago, when I was watching Helluva Boss. By now, most young people know Loona, the hellhound girl receptionist, and Blitzø, her dad. Speaks for itself that said people know a lot what the internet has done to Loona. Loona along with the rest of the cast was made aware of that. All 4 characters looked right at you with a sharp violin sound with a gaze that burns straight trough your soul.

I like the type of intimate humor created when a character breaks the fourth wall. It's like being in a party and sharing an inside joke with your best friend. It also adds another layer to your story. We aren't writing for the forties and fifties studio-system anymore - we're writing something for a modern audience, and they demand much more. Breaking the fourth wall is one way to level-up. Other ways include non-linier story-telling (Kill Bill), LGBTQ protagonists, blurring the lines between reality scenes and dreams/visions, including mute, non-human or thematic characters, and juxtaposing heartwarming moments with existential questions (A.I. or Cloud Atlas) Sure, it makes screenwriting exponentially more challenging, but hey... If you want something easy, take a ceramic's class.

The best of breaking the fourth wall is the old "Burns and Allen Show" with George Burns and Gracie Allen. George always broke the fourth wall to talk to the audience. He would even watch the show play out on the TV set in his den. The neat thing here was, George knew the audience was there, but the others in the scene didn't know, so they never looked at the camera when George was speaking to it. The results were marvelous. We knew they knew, but they were not supposed to (as part of the show) know how George was always figuring out what the other cast members were up to. He always acknowledged to the audience that "Yes, this is just a show". On paper, it doesn't sound like something you could pull off. But they did !

When talking to the audience is the general style of the movie, it doesn't seem like you're "breaking" anything. I like when it's a momentary event, that catches you off guard. Like when Eddie Murphy looks directly into the camera as the Mortimer brothers explain that bacon .. "is something you'd find in a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich."
