I always enjoy listening to creative people discussing their art and
here we have some of Hollywood's top screenwriters sharing what they've learned about the industry. Nothing that hasn't already been said--yes, it is harder than you think and even after you "make it," you still haven't made it--but enlightening all the same. Even though movies can't be made without a script, and even though the number one complaint when a movie bombs is that it was poorly written, the powers that be continue to arrogantly treat their writers as disposable typists. So it goes.
One writer that stood out in this film was
Paul Schrader. Whenever he popped up, under his name they listed a different film he wrote. I knew he had an impressive resume, but I guess I never really put it all together. The guy wrote
Taxi Driver,
Raging Bull,
and The Last Temptation of Christ. Granted, not exactly
Transformers 2, but not bad.
