Read Online Thelma And Louise/Something To Talk About: Screenplays By Callie Khouri Contained In Paperback
wanted to read Something to Talk About because it is written by Callie Khouri who also wrote Thelma and Louise which I think is brilliant.
Unfortunately, it's hard to believe they are written by the same author as STTA is dull, boring, has no tension or gives us anything we can care about.
What role does the little girl play other than she wants to ride a big horse I watched the film and the same conclusion arrives.
Julia Roberts is wrongly cast because she's not vulnerable enough and it's not possible to believe she would ever scream when someone unexpectedly walks in.
Only deaf people do that, It's the story of a husband cheating on his wife big yawn a clicheed topic and this one adds nothing new to the genre.
There's a tiny bit of suspense at the horseriding event but not enough, Hopefully, Callie Khouri will turn her next script into something as stunning as Thelma and Louise, Read this for a Women's Lit, Class. Felt very lucky that a paper on it was required! Loved this story! One of my favorite screenplays, The movie was great, too, The writing is sharp, witty, and defines character, Thelma and Louise is a great example of bogstandard screenplay structure, Still, being able to follow the standard well takes a certain degree of talent,
The character depth leaves something to be desired, however, even for the leads, Most of the male figures are simply a joke, Slocombe being a notable exception,
It's arguable that this is deserved with respect to the overwhelming numbers of screenplays out there with terrible female leads, but I would hope that an Oscarwinning screenplay would at least make a token effort to lead by example rather than vindictiveness.
I have not seen the film, but I started reading this at my brother's house leftover from a film class he took and I could not stop.
It's funny and thrilling just as a script, Both are captivating scripts. When Thelma amp Louise opened in, it was greeted with acclaim and controversy, quickly earning firsttime screenwriter Callie Khouri a reputation as one of few writers of real movie roles for women.
She lived up to expectations with Something to Talk About, which won praise for its originality and authenticity, Published here in one volume, these two screenplays gives us an opportunity to savor the work of a groundbreaking author, .
