剧本中的故事

Shane Black (Lethal Weapon), John Carpenter (Halloween), Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption), William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid), Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver), and dozens of other Hollywood screenwriters share penetrating insights and hilarious anecdotes in Peter Hanson's Tales from the Script, the most comprehensive documentary ever made about screenwriting. By analyzing their triumphs and recalling their failures, the participants explain how successful writers develop the skills necessary for toughing out careers in one of the world's most competitive industries. They also reveal the untold stories behind some of the greatest screenplays ever written, describing their adventures with luminaries including Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman, Stanley Kubrick, Joel Silver, Martin Scorsese, and Steven Spielberg.

就是一个名编剧采访集。倒是把我完全不善于sale自己的作品的原因圆回来了：my work is my pitch, why do i need to describe my description of the story? my pitch will not be equivalent to the actual content of my work.

大概两三年前读过书，今天看完整部纪录片的时候才发现纪录片的下半部分我好像已经看过了。。。书的内容要比电影多出不少，详细不少，电影基本就只剩下一个概括性的内容了，缺了不少细节。Guinevere Turner挺逗的。。制片紧张，不敢冒险创新，想保住饭碗。

the last laugh business

剧作家的确是蛮苦的。但是他们自己都承认：但是我们收了不少钱啊，所以也没什么好叽叽歪歪的。。。
