What I Learn?

How movies can be made... books, comic books, games, etc. Franklin talked about how scripts can sound weird or funny... writers that wrote one script could be the same ones that wrote one that are the good movies. You work into a script writers company where you go in and figure out what is wrong and what's right. They don't hardly come out until they all agree with one script edit. This guy went to write a letter to talk about certain scripts could be horrible. So he came to reading the better scripts. Ended up with the horrible script and it became one of the scripts this agent chose. There's a lot of movies that became famous based on what the guy told many companies... this brought good and better movies out into this world. Basically, he came up with the blacklist. This helped a lot of movies come to live. Wisdom can bring out the best of people. His words "We live in a very strange times" which makes sense about how movies are made.

What I Think?

Very interesting how a list could bring so many movies out. He did mention that as times chance, so will movies. More movies are becoming better and we, as watchers, are realizing this. I am myself a writer but not a very good one... so I doubt any of the scripts that I would write become a movie. I think it's interesting to listen to this guy because he said that nobody wants to see a color person, a man in the mind of a woman... and much more. I agree... writers should be based on a person who is black... a woman who knows what a woman thinks... and many more. This is a good video to watch and I want people to watch this too.
