Glengarry Glen Ross/screenwriting breakdown / The Big Revelation - new equilibrium 

Great writing. Great casting. The writing and acting are on par with Chayefsky's Network or The Hospital.

That's the mark of a genius writer.

Aw, come on, you can't say no to ol' Gil.

That's why he was hired.

Jack should have just said, "I answered the darn question! I'm cooperating here! You're darn tootin'!"

Not bad. Not bad.

Having a shitty job isn't gonna get you out of a felony.

if he didnt break he probably wouldve been fine cause they didnt have shit, all they had was the managers hunch that this guy did it because he assumed someone in an office full of liars lied. only reason he got caught was cause he panicked and confessed, even now they dont have shit just he said-he said which if he shut up after being brought bsck to the cops he mightve avoided the wrap

You are right. I rushed these clips together for a lecture on screenwriting. there were some awful spelling mistakes in that lecture, which undermined everything. thank you for your discretion. take care.

If they lived in a socialist country they would be unable to feed their families. In a socialist country they would starve to death.

@@mxkmxk7296 🤔if you’re referring to countries like the ussr, how come they got more food than capitalist countries at the same income group🤔

@@josb9836 in Venezuela the population needs dog meat so they do not starve to death. In Cuba the people refers to food tickets given by the government which is not nearly enough for any person to stay healthy.

@@josb9836 please show me any reliable data proving that the people in USSR had more food than American people.

@@josb9836 ussr had shortages for literally everything. My parents lived in the ussr. Dont talk about shit you have no clue about

True, but really not close to Tarantino films that all come replete with the "N" word being tossed about like confetti.

you mean realistic? no one in this scenario....would ever dance around curses. The purpose....of cursing....is just what the name implies. They highlight a level of anger, frustration, hatred and disrespect that is not conveyed by dancing around it with more poetic language or visual acting. It's certainly possible, but consider this as well.....the language defines the character. More than this it defines the setting and situation. All of the men are exactly the types to talk this way....and they're in the situation to do so, in their work and in their lives. These are desperate, frustrated, sleazy salesman working in the big city at a high profile firm. Pressure and tempers are high. You'll also notice that not everyone cusses so readily. Williamson and many of the guys' clients...they're not IN their scenario. They're different characters. I can't imagine Shelley, Roma, Moss and the rest talking any other way. And Baldwin is actually there to reinforce it. He is essentially their drill sergeant, and also what all of them aspires to be. Baldwin's character cusses them out because nicer language won't work for his intentions. Think.....about the choices and writing....before dismissing it as 'bad swears'.

Omg HE SOLD THEM AND THIS IS KEVIN SPACEY IN REAL LIFE HIS MENTOR AND IDOL AMAZING HOW THINGS WORK OUT 🤔🤫

True. The actors themselves gave the movie the nickname "Death of a fkn salesman".
