Once I was able to concentrate and get into the movie, I think part of me stayed there. Very affecting movie, still thinking about it! Poor Robert... Am I the only one that feels that way? Ha...
Now that you've had the emotional journey, watch it again. Ask yourself the purpose of every action. In workshop I'm always asking students, "What's this scene supposed to do?" Let that be your new focus.
I appreciate the Mr. Miyagi guerilla style writing class feel that I am getting from these lessons. I look forward to learning new things to add to my writing tool chest and refining my technique.
Be ready and thinking. I'll throw you some tough questions about the story's structure. What's the purpose of each action, for instance. Some seemingly innocuous details are very important.
You spelling my name with an “o” at the end instead of an “a” does however put us back on even typo ground.
Granted though, there aren’t many people who have my name but spelt with an “a” at the end, so it’s more forgivable a typo. To this day I’m convinced that the person who signed my birth certificate meant to put an “o” but sneezed or something when writing it and didn’t realise.
This is funny only because my wife is named Lauran. So I can already hear how you give your name to official-types over the phone. "It's Brandan. That's b-r-a-n-d-A-n."
I mean, I've never been more motivated to do homework, is all I'm saying. I'm actually really looking forward to learning about the things that went over my head.
Just finished. When I read the title it brought to mind a Buñuel-Dali short I've analyzed before. Not quite as abstract but I liked the subtle undertones of madness. Looking forward to finding out your take on it
Ok had some time to sleep on it and to think about it and I think the underlying topic is actually quite timely! I won't spoil the plot if I'm right. Looking forward to winning something maybe! 😉
Our goal is to see past the emotional and psychological effects and reverse-engineer stories to achieve those effects. Hence the title of this endeavor. If people see the film we can discuss the plot without wrecking the plot for newbies.

Love it, Chuck. Boy, that movie is one you simply won't forget about for a long, long time!
Nor should you. Even if you set aside the politics and the emotion, its structure is brilliant.
Agreed. Jane Fonda's performance was incredible too!
Sweet!
Writers, don your thinking caps!

Thank you for getting me to watch this movie!

Are we aloud to repost answers that were already commented on the original post?
Do you mean "allowed"? Although I kind of like typos like that.
Yes, you are aloud, Brandon.
Well... That’s embarrassing.

I honestly hope the prize is actual shit.
It will be decent. And something that gets through Customs with minimal hassle. Like a kitten, a live kitten.
This is totally not the kind of film I’d normally watch, assuming that because it’s old it would have little relevance to life today. How wrong was I.

Off topic, I'm sorry, just wanted to say that part three of greener pastures is my favourite so far ❤️
Thank You!

The Quiz will be a rough dissection.
