Story: Substance, Structure, Style, and the Principles of Screenwriting by Robert McKee
4.0
ik heb erg lang gedaan over dit boek, wat er toe leidde dat het altijd voor inspiratie zorgde na een tijd van inspiratieloosheid voor het gehele filmvak. Robert McKee maakte me eerst geïrriteerd met al de keurigheden (zoals ik dat toen dacht) over het filmvak, voelde alsof ik te braafjes de regeltjes aan het lezen was. Tot ik (en hijzelf ook) begreep dat je door deze regels te leren, ze eigen kan maken. In zijn laatste hoofdstuk schrijft hij:
"Use what you learn from Story as a guide, until command of its principles becomes as natural as the talent you were born with. Do this despite fear. For above all else, beyond imagination and skill, what the world ask of you is courage, courage to risk rejection, ridicule and failure. As you follow the quest for stories told with meaning and beauty, study thoughtfully but write boldly. Then, like all your heroes, your art will dazzle the world. "
