:10:00
And here I am because my jaunt
into the abyss brought me nothing.
:10:03
Well, isn't that just the risk one takes
for attempting something new?
:10:06
I should leave right now. I'll start over.
I need to face this project head-on...
:10:10
And God help you if you use
voice-over in your work, my friends.
:10:14
God help you.
It's flaccid, sloppy writing.
:10:18
Any idiot can write voice-over narration
to explain the thoughts of the character.
:10:22
Okay, that's it.
One hour for lunch.
:10:28
You cannot have a protagonist
without desire.
:10:31
It doesn't make any sense.
Any fucking sense.
:10:35
You follow? Good.
:10:38
Anyone else?
:10:45
What if a writer is attempting to create
a story where nothing much happens?
:10:49
Where people don't change,
they don't have any epiphanies.
:10:53
They struggle and are frustrated,
and nothing is resolved.
:10:56
More a reflection of the real world.
:10:59
The real world?
:11:01
Yes, sir.
:11:03
The real fucking world.
:11:05
First of all, you write a screenplay
without conflict or crisis...
:11:08
...you'll bore your audience to tears.
:11:11
Secondly, nothing happens in the world?
:11:15
Are you out of your fucking mind?
:11:19
People are murdered every day.
:11:21
There's genocide, war, corruption.
:11:24
Every fucking day,
somewhere in the world...
:11:27
...somebody sacrifices his life
to save somebody else.
:11:29
Every fucking day, someone somewhere
takes a conscious decision...
:11:33
...to destroy someone else.
:11:35
People find love. People lose it.
:11:38
Christ, a child watches a mother
beaten to death on the steps of a church.
:11:42
Someone goes hungry.
:11:44
Somebody else betrays
his best friend for a woman.
:11:47
If you can't find that stuff in life...
:11:50
...then you, my friend,
don't know crap about life!
:11:53
And why the fuck are you wasting
my two precious hours with your movie?
