5.0 out of 5 stars To love screenwriting, is to love William Goldman, Sep 5 2003
By Ken Mora "kenmora" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: William Goldman: Five Screenplays with Essays (Paperback)
Just go ahead and try to write a screenplay like William Goldman and you'll get slammed!

Yet despite the "flowery phrasing" the author of some of cinema's greatest screenplays is a master at getting you to play the movie in your head! It's the great ones that get to break the rules.

Every script is an enjoyable read, instantly and visually compelling, and a real lesson for writers on how to use language to give Actors, Directors, Cinematographers, and Script supervisors what they need to know as poetically and economically as possible.

I particularly enjoyed reading about the decisions that went into the making of The Great Waldo Pepper. As a kid, this movie really turned me around. It was a life affirming tragedy and it painted an emotional picture of a man's life using every color on this writer's pallette. Worth the price for this one alone!

All the essays prefacing the screenplays are a fascinating read, and a window into a facet of film history.
