Thank you sir

Thank you

1. **Identify the Protagonist**: Determine who the protagonist is by looking at the character making the crisis decision at the climax. This character often appears most frequently but might share the spotlight with others. 2. **Understand the Character's Desires**: Analyze what the protagonist consciously wants and explore any subconscious desires that may contradict their conscious goals, leading to inner conflicts. 3. **Analyze Choices and Antagonism**: Study the protagonist’s actions and the sources of antagonism they face, which can stem from inner conflicts, personal relationships, societal issues, physical struggles, and core values like truth, love, and justice. 4. **Examine Core Values and Themes**: Identify the essential values at the heart of the story and determine how the absence of these values would affect the narrative. Look for the story’s core value that drives the plot. 5. **Track Changes and Turning Points**: Observe how the protagonist’s situations and values shift from positive to negative or vice versa throughout the story. Analyze the turning points in each scene and recognize the setups and payoffs that showcase the writer’s technique.

Mr. Mc Kee, what a great explanation. It`'s good to know that the story we tell must confront both those who tell it and those who will later see it.

I know McKee doesn't want to be love, but man, it's so hard not to do so ❤

The way I interpreted the question, and perhaps I’m projecting, is what is the first step or two you need to take after you have inspiration and even a good start fleshed out?

I believe that rhythm works like music as per story mode.

Incredible insights. But I do rank you. I rank you higher than most in teaching your craft. 👍 Thanks much

What is the difference between main idea and controlling idea? They are sometimes used interchangeably?

Absolutely perfectly true and unambiguosly wise. McKee has a wise voice.

Brian Cox is amazing

Thank you so Much!

Great Advice! Thank you!

I've looked far and wide on the internet and youtube... This is by far the simplest explanation that is helpful. Thank you!

When the inside is like the outside and outside like the inside

Wow

So well spoken

I'm worried about Russell's current work. He seemed to be a left leaning guy olive branching to the right, but lately he seems to pander to the right, maybe even sincerely changed his politics. It's odd.

Where exactly did Aristotle say this? Because I can't find it.

Future writer and director here

So true, they can’t be ranked. It’s a fallacy. It’s wrong to do so.

Thank you sir

This is so great because in act III the movie is kinda like if charlies brothers had written it

Is this who norm macdonald and drake sather took a class from?

Listen marjorie, that story about your son dying. Kind of a yawner

All movies start with Once Upon a Time.

Fascinating.

"Writing a text while imagining the subtext doesn't work" -- Robert Mckee

"Dialogue is an action that characters take to get what they really want" -- Robert McKee

Per me è davvero importante perché è un'idea che mi "perseguita" da 30 anni e per paura, procrastinazione, codardia e molto di più, è un progetto che ho relegato nei meandri più reconditi del mio subconscio. Ora voglio affrontare il TUTTO...sara' comunque un successo!

Sounds like McKee feels the bar is low for character arc in horror. Especially in slashers.

Thank you sir.

Remembered the Adaptation scene when Nicolas Cage asks McKee almost the same question.

Damn it. Really needed to hear this. Thanks!

love jazz

Comedy writing is indeed a brilliant art form.

Thank you sir

0:58 fantastic

Mr. McKee looks like he's about to tell you to pursue accounting! The look on his face is priceless, like he's at a bar and a dude just asked him how to get it on with a chick. If you haven't got a clue, you might at well skip it.

2:27 very scary to think she had to sacrifice her art and life.

I think the education system probably needs to focus on developing talent in arts. The world is too focused on developing talent in the sciences in the commerce neglecting the arts

If you're starting for theme first (which i prefer) the flaw has to relate to that.

I've watched a ton of writing advice channels - there some very good instructors out there - and a great many poor - Robert McKee is the best.

Sometimes you may have to cut a scene that's written beautifully. No matter how beautiful, if it doesn't propel the plot, no need for it.

Imagine how that would impact Home Alone, Die Hard, and Game of Thrones. I mean, in GOT, everything just gets cut off.

You can't handle the truth

This is a huge point. It's a skill, that applies to everything in one's life. You could be a clerk in grocery store and find something to be passionate about - the reward of making a customer a bit happier for example. I've met grocery clerks who made my day a little bit better. And some who did the opposite. Be passionate about life and it will show in your writing.

All screenwriting students should study this man's work.
