Dialoghi. L'arte di far parlare i personaggi nei film, in TV, nei romanzi, a teatro

If you write stories, you'll probably want to read this book on dialogue. I've been a big fan of McKee's "Story" for a while, which in my mind is probably the best book about writing stories I've read. Like "Story," "Dialogue" eschews easy answers and formula and goes deep, explaining the hard work y Leggi tutto

I didn't like this book at the start. It's very scholarly, academic and overly complicated--pretty far from the actual experience of writing a novel. A writer just wants to know how to write better. Don't give me a jigsaw puzzle with 2000 pieces. This book seemed like reading a PhD thesis on how to

Robert McKee é uma das maiores autoridades do guionismo de Hollywood, sendo o seu livro “Story: Substance, Structure, Style and the Principles of Screenwriting” (1997) considerado uma espécie de bíblia para quem escreve para o meio audiovisual. “Dialogue: The Art of Verbal Action for Page, Stage, an Leggi tutto

به خوبی 《داستان》نیست، اما مک‌کیه دیگه! و قطعا خیلی چیزا بهتون اضافه می‌کنه. این‌که می‌گم به خوبی کتاب قبلیش نیست، از این بابته که یه سری چیزا رو خیلی تکرار می‌کنه. و بنظرم می‌تونست با نصف این حجمی که الان داره، همین کارایی رو داشته باشه. Leggi tutto

The art of dialogue. How does a writer get it just right to be effective, yet original, dramatic but not too dramatic, captivating and satisfying, and most important of all convincing?

DNF. I was listening to the audiobook, and the narrator had one of those slightly condescending, slightly nasal, very "measured" voices that just grated on me. It bordered on soporific, and my mind wandered the whole time. I tried multiple different times to listen, I skipped ahead, but the material Leggi tutto

کتاب بسیار خوبی ست اما ترجمه‌ی فارسی آن به دلم ننشست. وقتی تازه این کتاب منتظر شده بود دیدم محمد گذرآبادی که به خوبی سال‌ها پیش داستان مک‌کی را ترجمه کرده بود دست‌به‌کار ترجمه‌ی این کتاب هم شد اما دیگر از ایران آمدم نفهمیدم چه بر سر ترجمه‌ی آن آمد دوستی این را برای‌ام فرستاد. البته ترجمه‌ی این کتاب ب Leggi tutto

Quero reescrever todos os meus diálogos depois de ler esse livro. Amei a forma como o autor aprofunda na concepção do que é o diálogo e nos vários formatos que ele pode assumir. Os estudos de caso no final do livro fecharam a obra com chave de ouro. Recomendo demais para todes que gostam de escrever. ( Leggi tutto
