Concept 87


I believe it is easier to write an action film in the future because it opens so many doors to the amount of technology and settings used. Using a future time period, one can make space travel as common as driving is now, opening up doors for intergalactic conflict.

Concept 85


I think that it is better to have loved and lost than to never love at all because when you have loved you have felt those feelings and one of the greatest feelings in the world is to know that somebody loves you.

Concept 83


I think that a mortal will have a tough time coping with living in an enchanted realm. The mortal would feel like a second-class citizen in this enchanted world. It would be more difficult writing a script in which one person is normal, than when one person is super.

Concept 81

I was surprised at the ending of the third Star Wars movie, the Twilight Zone episode that had the pig looking doctors working on the girl, and Terminator. I didn't expect any of these endings and was appalled at the twists.

Italian Neorealism


Do The Right Thing has many traits of Italian Neorealism. The film doesn't have a clear sequence of events, the characters are very complex, and the film relies heavily on dialogue, more than most hollywood films.

The movement began when Italian filmmakers were tired of seeing a fake paradise on film which was influenced by American culture.
Italian filmmakers wanted to show the reality of life in Italy after the wars and after the reign of Mussolini.
Italian Neorealist films often include non professional casts, real sets, and almost unedited footage.

Italian Neorealism inspired American Independent films in many ways, first Independent films focus on the realities of life, something that Italian Neorealists were huge on. Independents also keep the ending true, meaning they don't always have a happy ending.

Concept 79


Anger Management, You Don't Mess With The Zohan, Mr. Deeds, Borat, Bruno, The Sitter, 30 Minutes or Less, Dickie Roberts, Dumb and Dumber, Bruce Almighty.

Concept 78


I think it is harder for a writer to stay on message with a comedy because a comedic film has a lot of outlets that drama doesn't have. A drama film can focus on one thing while comedies have to have a lot of different scenes and skits in order to make it funny.
