“The story man must see clearly in his own mind how every piece of business will be put over. He should feel every expression, every reaction. He get far enough from his story to take a second look at it... to see whether there is any dead phase... to see whether the personalities are going to be interesting and appealing to the audience. He should also try to see that the things that his characters are doing are of an interesting nature.” MenFeelsShouldTryingMindLooksEnoughCharacterStoriesInterestingAudiencePiecesDesignExpressionPersonalityDevelopmentReactionsPhases Author:Walt Disney
“It is sometimes said that one of the casualties of the general suspicion and mistrust that permeated the old Soviet Union was that the distinction between truth and other motivations to believe tended to break down. Upon hearing a purported piece of information, the reaction was not 'Is this true?' but 'Why is this person saying this? - What machinations or manipulations are going on here?'

“Carrie was a terrific piece of work. At the end of the movie comes, when Amy Irving kneels down to put the flowers on Carrie's grave, a hand comes up through the grave and seizes her by the arm. The audience went to the roof, totally to the roof. It was just the most amazing reaction. And I thought, 'We have a monster hit on our hands. Brian De Palma has done something new. He's actually created a shock ending that shocks an audience that was ready for a horror film.' And there were several people who did it after that.” PeopleEndsDoneHandsFilmAudiencePiecesReadyFlowerArmsHorrorCome UpMonstersGravesReactionsShockCarrieSomething NewRoofTerrificAmyMost AmazingHorror FilmBrian Author:Stephen King
