This video is a tribute to the work of Aaron Sorkin: the recycled dialogue, recurring phrases, and familiar plot lines. This is not intended as a critique but rather a playful excursion through Sorkin's wonderful world of words.
Scenes taken from:
Malice
A Few Good Men
Bulworth
Sports Night
The West Wing
Studio 60
Charlie Wilson's War
The Social Network
& Tom Hanks 1993 Oscar Speech for some reason

Is that really an oscar speech? It looks like he's talking to a college.

Tom Hanks is the Oscar speech. Aaron is indeed giving a commencement speech.

Good writers borrow from other writers. Great ones steal from them outright. Sorkin borrows only from Sorkin

Short answer: on and off 2 years. Long answer: the last 10 years of being a fan and absorbing it, listening to The West Wing while falling asleep in middle school, watching episodes over and over again. Thanks for watching!

My God, have you never seen competant screenwriting before?
Chayefsky?
Sturges?
Kurosawa ?
Coen?
Wilder?
Goldman?
Mankiewicz ?
Trumbo?
This clown just vacums up cliches and spreads them on a page like mayonaise.

Hmmm it's like most of these aren't common, every day expressions that everyone uses...... oh, wait.

I don't see this as a bad thing- he is one writer and wrote these over a number of years. People have common sayings and ways of speaking, I don't find it unusual he has used phrases/sayings more than once.
