I get that but I felt that in a forum like this it could use a little clarification since a lot of people on here (myself included) are pretty green. It seems like every short written now is some silent, film school garbage that focuses only on the visual because this ideology is hammered into...

This is very good. I'll be keeping near at hand when I do script analysis. I could benefit from focusing more on the visual. That stated, I am not a fan of the damn near silent film. "IF YOU PRETEND THE CHARACTERS CANT SPEAK, AND WRITE A SILENT MOVIE, YOU WILL BE WRITING GREAT DRAMA." This...

It is exactly like that, only when you look back... there are cherries. It's the damnedest thing, but they are there every time. It's really a Freudian slip on a grand scale. Here's a novelist (who's work I am not familar with) suggesting to avoid writing symbolism. I've seen Tarantino...
