dear filmmakers
May. 18th, 2005 07:05 pmhow 'bout you guys concentrate a little harder on, oh i don't know, telling an actually good story, and leave the overt political statements to politicians? maybe you could remember that, should you focus on the craft of storytelling, on building genuine character and universe, cause and effect, character arc and story arc, that what you personally believe will subconciously infuse your story anyhow, because it all comes from the same so-called brain. then that way, you aren't beating an audience over the head with A MESSAGE that simply serves to disguise the fact that you have made a crappy film. and while you're at it? actual, historical research is your friend. mmkay? thanks.
