    “In North Korea you cannot make a good film.” Kim Jung Il was actually a HUGE fan of cinema and wrote (or had ghost written) multiple film theory and history books. He tried to stimulate North Korean filmmaking based on Soviet cinema. At one point, he even had his men kidnap a South Korean film director he liked and forced him to make the movies he wanted to see. It didn’t work out that well, but hey that’s North Korea.

    "An artist never works under ideal conditions. If they existed, his work wouldn't exist, for the artist doesn't live in a vacuum. Some sort of pressure must exist. The artist exists because the world is not perfect. Art would be useless if the world were perfect, as man wouldn't look for harmony but would simply live in it." - Andrei Tarkovsky

    He is right but only for smaller independent films and a visual treatment that calls for master shots. However for films like Mad Max this would not work at all infact its a study in the art of coverage and shot design.

    From "Finding Forrester" (2001) by Gus Van Sant, Adapted by Mike Rich from the Novel by James W. Ellison (2000). William begins typing at typewriter. Jamal sees him but cannot get himself to begin. William notices, stops his writing. William Is there a problem? Jamal Nah, I'm just thinking. William Oh no. No thinking. That comes later They continue typing. William VO. Various typing shots. William You write your first draft with your heart. Then you rewrite with your head. The first key to writing is to write. Not to think. He pulls out the completed full page he's just typed, handing it to Jamal.

    I love that this showed up for me today. Usually i’m always anxious and “on the grind” with my writing thinking it’s shit, but the last few days i got my stuff together after 11 months of work and on and of writing, and it’s formed together into something. It’s still missing things, it’s still needs a huge amount of editing, but i got the heart of it out, and i’m enjoying what it’s becoming and the process. And it’s nice to hear from someone else that that they can just sit back and enjoy the process too.

    He gives me the impression that he starts from the beginning and steadily works his way through till the end of a first draft. Most writers I know tend to start with bits of scenes here and there, ideas for characters, etc. Then at some point they start a step outline or a beat sheet and keep fiddling with this as they add more bits and pieces of scenes and the story slowly begins to reveal itself and the paths of the characters within it. And then the first draft begins. All-in-all, quite a messy process that doesn't sound like a genius at work when told in an interview, so writers tend to mythologize the process a bit. Problem is a newbie writer hears this stuff and feels frustrated when it doesn't work just like the master said he makes it work.

    I studied to be a filmmaker and i can assure you that many films that i adore are definitely not the kind of movies i would like to make. I can admire something and not feel like i have to do something similar. For me watching movies is never a chore, or some kind of homework to get ideas, i just like watching them, analyze them, learn about things from them, etc. Just because i enjoy watching them, not in a mindless entertainment consumer way, but in a way to understand them as pieces of art.

    I agree, script is the third !! Cinema is before all audiovisual, people tend to forget it. The image and the sound/music are more important than the story in my opinion. I actually write most of my stories with a lot of details that I don't write to be shown on screen or explained; the viewer can understand the story as he pleases, with just the image and sound that is provided. I shot one of my first short movies that way, and depending on the viewer I had very different perceptions and understandings of it, some that I had never imagined but made total sense, it was very interesting. Cinema should be more like that, we need to free ourselves from the old habit of storytelling that made sense when it was just oral transmitted stories or theatre, but is not necessarily mandatory for an awesome movie. Look at Pulp Fiction, for example.

    I don't watch a lot of different movies, but I rewatch my favorites very oftenly. Art is so subjective, that even with yourself your opinion can drastically change with time or context. When I first saw Drive, I hated it. Then I watched some of his other movies like Bronson and Only God Forgives. Then I watched Drive again a couple years after: it looked like a different movie, I loved it !

    Write first from the heart. Get it all out of your system. Then go back and READ IT OUT LOUD. Now the real work begins and you can tighten it up and start working on the final draft. Something ive personally learned over the years and from reading loads of awful first draft Amazon Author books.

    I do agree and I was thinking the same things, Coppola was a genius and not all of us get it best in the very first draft. Can I ask you something, Should I writer about the character's qualities on a white board first or should I discover it along the way? the later is exciting but it can be a bit random

    @@NikTh181 im awful with world and character building but i think every writer needs to figure out if they are A: A Planer, someone like tolkien who planned it all out and extensively built his world first or B. A PLANTer, someone who literally just sits down and starts writing. I would say dont over think it because then you will never write. again, just write from the heart. i think youll discover your characters on the way and then really get a feel for them once you have to sit down and actually start thinking about it once you get word on page my friend.
