I am sorry to say, I have not watched "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles." Based on this video, I'm definitely going to have to rectify that shortly though. Just the couple scenes you showed hit a lot of feels! Really great acting from Candy and Martin.
I definitely think I could use some work on more scene direction. Thank you for the scene breakdown. It was really helpful seeing the differences between the script and the film, as well as seeing how the director/actors were able to better fill in their performance with more simplistic scene direction.
Thanks for the share. I thought I had watched this movie some years back however I don’t remember the scenes we just watched at all.
It was interesting to know what wasn’t said, and what was said - differences in the script and in the actual film.
This is something I struggle with when trying to write a script - how to compare a thought, without trampling on or through a perfectly good scene by trying to make a lasting impression on the reader/viewer .
I often think if you demand too much of the reader/viewer at any particular moment or event, they tend to stop at that point to try and figure it and lose the rest of the development trying to focus on that one hyper important thought you wanted to impress on them…
If you get to the end and haven’t added it all up, you may have lost not only that moment, but other moments, by trying to carry it all the way through to the conclusion.
Maybe they will never understand you …
If you keep adding fresh images and ideas, and don’t try to force it, I must agree that it’s better to allow whatever affects each individual to settle with them and keep your own beliefs to write other scenes which may be similar or bring up the same point- just continue as you write to refresh those ideas in unique ways.
