This led me to completely turn a script I wrote, rewrote and submitted, on it's head! It has led my tip of the iceberg idea something deeper! Now: to tear it apart😅
What changed my screenwriting was reading Adventures In The Screen Trade and Which Lie Did I Tell? by William Goldman. My own "voice" was weak, then those books threw a hand grenade into my head and I've gone from strength to strength ever since. My "voice" is now assertive, clear and I'm so much more fearless in taking the story to places I would once have been too lacking in confidence to go to. My own tip: Know your characters before you begin, then you'll know exactly how they'll react in any dramatic situation, and that will just snowball the narrative.
What process do you use to get to know your characters?
I like how the image of Pulp Fiction lit up right when he said "poorly written." Lol!
Holy moly hes amazing all words perfectly chosen
Great tips there thank you. His book on Transcendental Cinema is great too.
The link for the TAxi Driver script actually brings up the script for Maverick.

Man really wrote Taxi Driver and.... First Reformed, which plays out like a sophomore college student who just got kicked out of his youth ministry group and then discovered pollution in his responsible citizenship class 101 class.
Cinema Cartography described Taxi Driver and Apocalypse Now better than the actual creators did tbh
Wasn’t sure he was going to make it through the interview.
You really made me laugh. I read your comment in part 2 of his advice and thought the same… I admire his work, though. Great writer, great director.
The Mystery: I like to remind people that a Rorschach Test is meant to probe the psyche of the viewer, not of the guy who made the inkblots.

Don't be the stereotype.
Be the metaphor.
👋😁
What is "Letting the mystery"? English issue there…
The full phrase was "Letting the mystery be."
Like letting something be
Thanks for the video, but the background soundtrack is so annoying.
Any tips from someone who wrote a screenplay this decade?
Screenwriting hasn't gotten any better. In fact, it's worse. Read Preston Sturges or Robert Towne.
Now read some woke bullshit.
Decide for yourself.
A classic like Taxi Driver is timeless
@@mchammer1836a masterpiece!
@@theexpresidents Coverfly is filled with woke crap, I submitted my script obviously not selected but when i went through the synopsis of the quarterfinal scripts, most of them were woke.
Çould their be a more overrated movie? So much sin in this world and all these Hollywood demons are adding to it with glee
The heavy labored breathing is too distracting man, level that out.
