Writers REACT to Famous Writers in Movies
Have you ever watched a film portraying a creative writer and wondered: Are all writers actually THIS eccentric? Do they talk to themselves in mirrors, have conversations with invisible characters, or lie on the floor doing nothing and call it "work"? In this video, we're breaking down writing scenes from movies -- reacting to the good, the bad, and the moodiest of writers in film... and deciding which portrayals are the most accurate.

    I've been writing since I was 7 (my mum accidentally threw out all of my stuff from 7 to 12 ,it was all in one notebook) and I always loved writing but I didn't get any proper ideas . I've always been a fantasy or children's book person . I've even had a few murder mystery ideas but I havent been able to get far in terms of developing them . Now at almost 19 I think I have the one that is what I want to go forward with . Funny enough it's a romance which isn't setting I ever thought I'd write

  • @peanut3438

    Awesome advice! Also it could be a matter of passive/active(?) voice: what is the subject, or what is the thing that’s doing stuff? “I heard the cat meow / I heard a meow” vs “the cat meowed” vs “a meow came from my desk” (tbh all these options are equally good. It really depends what you want the focus to be on and what info you want to keep/share) bonus: “my desk meowed” lol On second thought, I’m not actually sure if any of these are active?? Passive/active voice is tricky

    Rebecca: We know, and they know, that the husband killed his wife. And we all know that in the morning, the doctor will testify that she was pregnant, all evidence points to her lover as the father, and the police will immediately figure out the truth: that the husband murdered his wife out of jealousy and he will be arrested. We are all biting our nails. And then the doctor testifies something completely different and surprises us all. The man who knew too much: The bad guy tells the henchmen: "I will play this record. This is how the concert will go. There will be a big pause in the music and then the crescendo. Shoot the victim in the audience during the crescendo, and no one will hear it". We all got it. We are all biting our nails. We are in the concert hall. The assassins are in place. We see the victim, oblivious, enjoying the concert. Here comes the build up to the pause before the crescendo. and then something ELSE happens instead.

    I LOVE Grumpy/Sunshine. Few things can pull me into a romance faster than that haha. My current couple that personifies this is Bakugou/Kirishima. Though enemies to lovers I usually find kind of depressing because I am too soft for all those negative feelings lol
