Movies are subjective connection with us.
Each one has its own language. We remember actors & directors.
We don´t put a lot of attention to who wrote it.
I love movies that make me think. Movies that make me want to see them again because of the best element there is in Cinema…
“ A GOOD STORY, WELL TOLD”
As if it were a RARE DISH.
INTENTION AND OBSTACLE
"The trick is to follow the rules of classic storytelling. Drama is basically about one thing: Somebody wants something, and something or someone is standing in the way of him getting it. What he wants—the money, the girl, the ticket to Philadelphia—doesn't really matter. But whatever it is, the audience has to want it for him."
—Aaron Sorkin Screenwriter of A Few Good Men, The Social Network, Moneyball
Sorkin is my favorite screenwriter of all time. He is not selfish. He enjoys team sports rather than individual sports. He makes you have to pay attention with WORDS. Every single word is relevant.
A line in a script can change.
its depth, how funny it is said or sad the actor is responsible for giving it to us.
But the line is nothing if the screenwriter writes nonsense. If it’s written just to fill a hole in the wall.
Its
Crap.
Not even the best actor in the world can shape something that has no form.
Dialogue is fundamental to tell a story and Pacing is the life inside those words.
For me, It’s not the budget that makes a movie great.
It’s how you tell the story.
As in Kurosawa´s Rashomon..
The Social Network is hearing 3 CONFLICTIVE versions of something that happened
If you’re talking to someone and that person is watching someone else or somewhere else …
RUDE. Yes!
But it makes a point.
Whatever you are saying It’s not worth hearing.
One of the things Sorkin has than no other is that he makes screenplays that are one page of script is a minute of film.
He makes dialogue so long and complex his own limit is that page for a conversation.
That’s why so many actors in the movies he has written must say their lines so quickly.
“There’s a reason I don’t write things that are meant to be read I write things that are meant to be performed”
