Dialogues, Lines & Sinker.

Films with brilliant dialogues and lines, either funny or dramatic or simply passing, can raise its quality by a million times. At least, for me, it has that impact. I can watch a film and wait 50-60 minutes just for my favorite line to appear. And this is why I love to dream up scenes in my head, trying to come up with lines so powerful and memorable it'd sink into the audiences' lives. Of course, under a good direction, the performer also has a duty of ensuring the delivery of his/her lines are top quality.

I would like to name my top five lines in films (JY, please feel free to name yours too, it could be from plays too!).

Top Five Lines/Dialogues in Films (in no specific order)

1) "No, I don't think I will kiss you, although you need kissing, badly. That's what's wrong with you. You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how." - Gone with the Wind

2) "You'll never be a first class human being or a first class woman until you've learned to have some regard for human frailty." - The Philadelphia Story

3) "Hey, don't be so mature, okay? I mean, six months is a long time! Six months, you know you're gonna be, you'll be in, in, in, in the th - working in a theater there, you'll be with actors and directors, you kno w you're, you know, you go to rehearsal, and you, you hang out with those people, you have lunch a lot, and, and, before you even know it attachments form and, and, you know, I mean, you, you don't want to be get into that kind a, I mean, you, you'll change. You know, you'll be, you'll be, in six months you'll be a completely different person." - Manhattan

4) "You and your plans. You know what my grandmother used to say? If you want to make God laugh... tell Him your plans." - Amores Perros

5) "I don't need you to tell me how fucking good my coffee is, okay? I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping she buys SHIT. I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it I want to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It AIN'T the coffee in my kitchen, it's the dead nigger in my garage." - Pulp Fiction

Captain Subtext.

I think it applies not just to poetry as well.

“We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion.And medicine, law, business, engineering - these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love - these are what we stay alive for.”

- John Keating, character in Dead Poet's Society.

'Dreaming up' is essential.

"There couldn't be a society of people who didn't dream. They'd be dead in two weeks."
— William S. Burroughs

Inspirationals: On Writing

"No thinking - that comes later. You must write your first draft with your heart. You rewrite with your head. The first key to writing is... to write, not to think!" - Forrester

Finding Forrester (2000)
