CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER: A STUDY ON PATTERNS, SYMMETRIES AND CYCLES


“Screenplays are structure, and that’s all they are. The quality of writing—which is crucial in almost every other form of literature—is not what makes a screenplay work. Structure isn’t anything else but telling the story, starting as late as possible, starting each scene as late as possible. You don’t want to begin with “Once upon a time,” because the audience gets antsy.”

~William Goldman, Adventures in the Screen Trade (1983)

“As a movie-goer, I don’t give a tin whistle what a director thinks; I want to know what he sees.”

~Stephen King, interview with Cinefantastique (1978)
