This was an act of untold generosity... he shares his method and his life -- both without pretense.

@spartan.falbion2761 2 года назад

The Taxi Driver script is such a pleasure to read, but even a newbie scriptwriter will see that it's not "by the book". There are descriptions of things that cannot be shown on camera, and it would prob. be rejected today ... ...but this internal information is so useful, for keeping the reader interested nothing else.

I wish we had classes, but it's basically a group therapy, so probably the fact that it were recorded would ruin intimacy and sincerity, also would be not fully ethical to watch it if you're not participating, but I would be hypocrite if not admit that it still would be quite spellbinding, really

@James_Bowie 4 года назад

Don't bash Robert McKee who wrote the book Story. It was Syd Field's book Screenplay that put so much emphasis on the three act structure. McKee's Story goes much deeper than that.

@Jake Webber: Perhaps there is no screenwriting teacher as talented as Paul Schrader who is as difficult to understand. He stutters, stammers, exalahates & stumbles with his words & storytelling, in this lecture, in such a way that it is difficult to follow his meandering. The way that he sounds when he talks, from the sound alone, causes me to wonder if he is inebriated and/or dying of a stroke and/or taking a dump... He may be a brilliant screenwriter & director...but, he is a terrible speaker; at least in this lecture.

@spenserdavis788 5 лет назад

@@coletakahashi6617 You missed his point. He's spent a lifetime creating incredible, singular films because he's intentionally avoiding making cookie-cutter films. "Why should Hollywood hire you to make a movie that other people in Hollywood can make?" is the right question, but his answer is more akin to "Because in your hands, it'll be a story delivered in a way that you and you alone can execute."

I love Paul for being self-reflective, insightful, honest, and sincere. Im going through a personal crisis and hearing him pour out his soul is nothing short of inspiring. The human condition is obviously full of many inner and outer turmoils. I love his group/self-therapy approach to writing. Paul, you are a gift to humanity. Sincerely, thank you 🙏

@Mr.Monta77 4 месяца назад

@@simpleman7203 Not sure what you refer to. His favorite films don’t rely on speculative violence that is the trademark of his work. I think many directors confuse story and tension with violence and brutality. You may be attracted to just that or not. Many people love violence in games and belive society and people will not be affected by the massive wall of violence and brutality that we present to our kids and adolescents. I believe it is harmful and that’s why I don’t like his movies.

@haraldcarlsten6238 10 месяцев назад

This is freaking amazing. American Gigolo is one of my absolute favourite movies because of it's ambiguity

@haraldcarlsten6238 10 месяцев назад

And Light Sleeper - also a favourite one. Very rewatchable... Not as ambigious though... I think rewatchability is the hallmark of a great film, as rereadability is for a book. I often think about movies - I can't see that movie again or read that book again because it is already consumed. But I can see Blade runner, American Gigolo and reread The Lady in the Lake again and again and again. Because the mystery of them are still open...

@kennethrussell1158 3 месяца назад

He gave Springsteen the title "Born in the USA". It was a script he sent him. Bruce wrote the song "Light of Day" for him.

@kindnessfirst9670 4 года назад

@007 CM According to Bruce that's what happened. I don't think Bruce had read the script yet. He just liked the title and used it. Then he read the script he had been sent (requesting a new song) and wrote "Light of Day" for the film and the films title was changed. He sometimes performs "Light of Day" live.

You know he actually looks quite lucid here in instances. Maybe because he’s actually really interested in this, as is natural if you love your craft so much. But yeah, I agree completely. His mind seems to go much swifter than his speaking. Incredible how one can be a brilliant writer but such a… complicated speaker. His age doesn’t help either. I don’t think he really was like this.
