Zitat des Tages über Gut geschrieben / Well-Written:
I feel like if a film is well-written, then the character's arc is complete. There really is very little room to expand on that afterwards.
If a film is very clever and well-written, that's what gives you freedom as a director.
Well-written words are music.
I love a lot of the New York bands, but Patti Smith stands out. I just read 'Just Kids' and it's an inspirational, well-written account of an emerging New York artist in the late seventies.
It's so rare that you actually get to find a really well-written female lead.
Every well-written book is a light for me. When you write, you use other writers and their books as guides in the wilderness.
I think the tradition of well-written history hasn't been squashed out of the academic world as much in Britain as it has in the United States.
You see a lot of good ideas or well-written scripts that are bad ideas.
When you see something that is well-written, the actors can get behind it.
A well-written life is almost as rare as a well-spent one.
Look at the Coen brothers. All their minor characters are as interesting as their protagonists. If the smaller characters are well-written, the whole world of the film becomes enriched. It's not the size of the thing, but the detail.
'Mad Men' still lives in my life as the best job that I've ever had because I thought the character was genius. It was so well-written.
And it was the idea that you can do a play - like a Shakespeare play, or any well-written play, Arthur Miller, whatever - and say things you could never imagine saying, never imagine thinking in your own life.
I like films that are well-written and concise and with not a lot of room for improvisation.
What I like most: Reading well-written sources that take me to another world for hours at a time - and being able to call that 'work!' Also, of course, finding a gem of information that is either exactly what I was looking for, or else fits perfectly into the story in some way.
I respond very well to well-written material and women who have had an effect on society, something tragic or monumental has happened to them.
You have to have a strong idea for a hit movie, a strong core idea that resonates emotionally. It also has to technically achieve its goal - it's got to be well-written, well-paced, and interestingly told.
Party of Five won a Golden Globe, it was a well-written television series.
I think I would choose to do things because they are interesting, because I like a character or because it's very well-written. Or because it makes sense.
I love a smart, well-written show, and '30 Rock,' well, you can't get any better than that. Tina Fey poos funny. There's nothing that she does that isn't funny. That show is an example of how brilliant she is. It's so smart. They've done some brilliant commentary about the 'Housewives' with 'Queen of Jordan,' their show-within-the-show.
A good part's a good part. You can play serious and funny moments with a well-written role.
I love character-driven, well-written, great storytelling types of films, and I think that 'My Cousin Vinny' just hit the nail on the head with everything. It's one of those movies that, if I'm flipping through the channels, no matter what part it's on, I can watch it. It's just one of my favorites.
'A Just Defiance' has been a huge success in South Africa. While reading at times like a well-written thriller, its significance is to reveal apartheid to have been far more brutal, ruthless, and self-serving even than we had suspected.
I try to choose the projects that I think are the most well-written and well-executed, and the rest of it is so beyond my control to be almost not worth thinking about at all.
In TV, I did scripts that were not well-written, and I learned how to make bad material okay. That's a hard thing to do; you can learn bad habits, but you can also learn to find something in anything.
