People need to realise that Hollywood isn't the utopia for film anymore, world and independent cinema is schooling the system horribly. I've heard nothing but horror stories for writers in Hollywood - even the best. I like Syd Field though, he's very helpful. But dear god, don't tell me Titanic is what inspires you.
@jazz4 One thing that I do not like about his book and others alike is that at some point they tell the reader and try to sell moving to Hollywood. Going to Hollywood in this day in age would be foolish I think. If you have a computer with up to date software, a camera, and some high wattage lights you can mimick a Hollywood production. The only thing that is completely necessary is a story that could blow even Hollywood's socks off no matter how rough or primitive the film looks.
@oreion69 The script is such horse shit. The film is technically brilliant, but the screenplay is horrendous. The characters are like cardboard cut-outs. It's Historically laughable as well.
@jazz4 I've never heard a horseshit script earn over a billion dollars, and earn the affection of people not just in America, but across the globe. Just my two cents.
I am learning a lot from you sir, thanks.

Great video for writers who want to step it up and learn in a simple way. Thanks Syd.

Syd Field is too simple. We're way ahead of that. Kal Bashir's, Chris Vogler's and Jo Campbell's work is where it's at.

... Oh, man. If this wasn't a video I was already interested in, that corny "I'm in Hollywood" introduction would've made me turn it off.
