Chinatown (1974) is a neo-noir crime thriller, directed by Roman Polanski from a screenplay by Robert Towne. Based loosely on the Owens Valley water wars in Los Angeles from the early twentieth century, the film follows private investigator J.J. (“Jake”) Gittes (Jack Nicholson) as he pursues a series of leads that take him into the dark underbelly of power and corruption in 1930s Los Angeles. A woman claiming to be "Evelyn Mulwray” initially hires Gittes to follow her husband Hollis, whom she suspects of infidelity. Gittes discovers that Noah Cross (John Huston), the father of the real Evelyn Mulwray (Faye Dunaway), had Hollis, his former business partner and head of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, killed. Hollis had learned of Cross's plan to force famers in the Northwest valley to sell their land by cutting off their irrigating water and purchasing it through dummy syndicates on the cheap with the aim of developing the land into valuable Los Angeles real estate. Gittes also learns that the young woman he falsely suspected Hollis of having an affair with is Evelyn's sister and daughter—the product of Evelyn's rape by Cross when she was fifteen. While Gittes ultimately unravels the mystery, he is unable to stop the powerful Cross from achieving his goals or prevent the tragic fate that awaits Evelyn.

Dana and Tom welcome new guest, Scott Cole (Twitter-X/IG (@colecommascott) movie commentator, and occassional writer/contributor for The Movie Friends podcast.com (@moviefriendspodcast)), to the show to discuss the neo-noir classic, Chinatown (1974): directed by Roman Polanski, written by Robert Towne, starring Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, and John Huston. Plot Summary: Chinatown (1974), directed by Roman Polanski, is a masterful blend of noir and tragedy that stands as one of the great achievements in American cinema. The film stars Jack Nicholson as Jake Gittes, a private detective whose specialty is uncovering marital infidelities. When he is hired by a woman claiming to be Evelyn Mulwray (Diane Ladd) to investigate her husband's suspected affair, Gittes is drawn into a labyrinth of deceit, corruption, and murder. Set against the backdrop of 1930s Los Angeles, the plot thickens as Gittes discovers the true Evelyn Mulwray (Faye Dunaway) and realizes he has been duped. The deeper he digs, the more he uncovers a sinister conspiracy involving water rights and the powerful land magnate Noah Cross (John Huston).Chinatown is not just a detective story; it is a commentary on the corruption and decay that lie beneath the surface of society, a theme that remains relevant to this day. In the end, as the iconic final line suggests, "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown," the film reminds us that some mysteries are better left unsolved, and some wounds never heal.0:00 Welcome – First-Time Guest Questions5:05 Cast and Recognition9:03 Relationship(s) to the Film14:19 What is this Film About?22:52 Why is this Film Important to the Detective/Mystery Genre?26:46 The Elephant in the Room…34:55 Plot Summary36:27 Did You Know?38:51 First Break41:14 Ask Dana Anything54:17 Best Performance(s)1:08:23 Best/Favorite/Indelible Scene(s)1:16:20 In Memoriam1:17:41 Best/Funniest Lines1:19:38 The Stanley Rubric/Legacy1:25:24 Impact/Significance1:31:53 Novelty1:37:09 Classicness1:42:05 Rewatchability1:46:02 Audience Score/Recap1:46:27 Final Score1:47:22 Remaining Question(s)1:53:02 Listener Question(s)1:57:23 Guest Acknowledgement1:58:30 Final Thoughts1:59:55 CreditsYou can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast) or find our Facebook page at Greatest Movie of All-Time Podcast.For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com//post/chinatown-1974-ft-scott-coleFor the entire rankings list so far, go to:Full Graded List - Greatest Movies of All-Time Ronny Duncan Studios

Of course, I'm not an actor. I'm a priest. But Nicholson had a profound influence on my life. I mean, I was a good little fundamentalist Christian, so his fast-living reputation was not really for me growing up. But he had this way about him that just bowled me over. He seemed always to be utterly himself in whatever he did - even while convincingly playing fantastic characters. He was the Joker, or McMurphy, or J.J. Gittes, or Col. Jessup, or Melvin Udall, but at the same time he was Jack! And I loved that. When I was in college, my buddy Wes and I visited Hollywood and made our film lover's pilgrimage to Grauman's Chinese Theater. This is the spot where many famous actors have put their hand and foot prints into the cement. I got down on my knees in front of Jack's signature and placed my hands in his handprints. They fit perfectly. Wes' hands fit in James Stewart's. We floated away. It's a strange thing to call someone your inspiration when you haven't actually followed in their footsteps. A few years back I was at a concert and I ran into a comedian named Emo Phillips. He is not terribly famous, but when I was younger I had seen a stand-up special of his that was so absurd and outlandish that it had turned my idea of comedy upside down. I walked up to him that night and introduced myself. He was very gracious. I told him that he had been a big inspiration to me growing up. "Is that so?" he asked, "what do you do?" I said I was a priest, and without missing a beat he said, "Well obviously."

De er på verdensplan lykkedes med at gøre den bæredygtige og genanvendelige menstruationskop til et reelt alternativ til engangsbind og tamponer. I dette afsnit af Iværksætterhistorier fortæller Gitte hvordan de på fem år har skabt en virksomhed som omsætter for 50 mio kr. uden investorer. Hun fortæller desuden om en massiv CSR strategi, som hjælper kvinder igennem NGO'er verden over. Derudover deler hun hvordan AllMatters nu er klar med en version 2.0 og til at vækste yderligere igennem produktudvikling med fokus på bæredygtighed.   Dette er Gittes iværksætterhistorie. Hør mere i vores podcast.  Produceret af Podtribe Media Episoden er bragt sammen med vores kunde Nemlig.com og Pleo Hvis du vil støtte vores lille medie kan du gøre det her på Patreon.  Fra tabu produkt til kæmpe succes AllMatters er en dansk virksomhed stiftet i 2012 som laver menstruationskopper. Det er en genanvendelig kop som absorberer menstruationsblodet og er et bæredygtigt alternativ til bind og tamponer. Den er lavet af medicinsk silikone og er uden mikroplast. Virksomheden blev stiftet af barndomsvennerne William og Kristian. De kørte virksomheden i 3 år som et deltidsprojekt, men besluttede i 2015 at ville gå all-in. Med Gitte ombord får de produktet ud over rampen rent salgsmæssigt. Hun har inden da arbejdet i store corporate virksomheder som commercial director, men sagde i 2015 sit job op uden at have andet, da hun kunne mærke entreprenørlængslen i maven. Med hendes kompetencer ombord tidoblede AllMatters deres omsætning på 1 år - Fra 900.000 til 9 mio. Det gjorde de igennem benhårdt salgsarbejde og ved at definere virksomheden strategisk. De arbejdede med at skabe awareness igennem influensers, sociale medier og havde meget fokus på produktets bæredygtige vinkel.  AllMatters version 2.0 I dag omsætter virksomheden for 50 mio. og findes de i 40 lande og 7000 butikker. Væksten er båret af at kendskabet til menstruationskopper er steget markant indenfor 2-3 år. Under corona har de brugt tid på at produktudvikle, så de i dag ikke kun er et brand der sælger menstruationskopper, men et sustanible care brand. Deres fokus bliver at skabe bæredygtige alternativer indenfor personlig pleje, som er formuleret uden vand. Deres første 2 produkter er body wash og håndsæbe i pulver form hvor forbrugeren selv tilsætter vand. I samme forbindelse har de skiftet virksomhedsnavn fra OrganiCup til AllMatters.   Solid CSR indsats Ud over et fokus på produktudvikling har AllMatters en solid CSR strategi. De arbejder med hele 60 forskellige NGO'er, hvor de donerer menstruationskopper til kvinder som ikke har adgang til menstruationsprodukter. I mange afrikanske lande har de ikke adgang til hygiejne artikler og kvinderne anvender gamle klude eller komøg under menstruation, som skaber infektioner og kan betyde at de ikke kan få børn på sigt. AllMattrers samarbejder også med NGO'er som underviser på skoler i menstruation. De har desuden startet et projekt som hedder Campus Cup på 95 universiteter i USA. Her uddeler de kopper til studerende som ikke har råd til at købe. Det har vakt så meget opsigt at Forbes har lige bragt artikel om projektet. Gitte tror på at forbrugere i dag ser bag om virksomheder og køber ind på hvad de står for. AllMatters mærkesag er derfor også at arbejde meget mod tabu omkring menstruation og ikke bare lave kommunikation der går ud på salg. Fra start up til scale up  AllMatters har stagneret på omsætningen under corona da meget af deres distribution har været lukkede forretninger og de arbejder nu på at komme tilbage på sporet rent vækstmæssigt. Organisatorisk som virksomhed er de gået fra start up til scale up. I 2019 fordoblede de antallet af ansatte og kort efter blev alle hjemsendt. De skal nu have integreret værdier hos alle medarbejdere: Det er noget vi arbejder meget med nu. Nu skal vi tilbage og have alle med ombord igen og gå fra den her cilo opdelte arbejdsgang, som vi lidt oplevede under corona. Hvor det blev lidt salg, og så sad det kreative team og det logistiske team. Det der samarbejde som kendetegnede os meget inden corona. Der gik splitsekund fra tanke til handling nogen gange og det her tætte samarbejde og dialog med hinanden. Den mistede vi lidt.  De er nu i en proces med at bygge værdierne og strukturen ind i organisationen. De ønsker at bibeholde startup mentaliteten med fokus på udvikling og innovation selvom de vokser.  Gitte forventer at fremtiden byder på en vækstrejse igennem de nylancerede bæredygtige produkter. Derudover er der stadig mange markeder hvor produktet har større potentiale da menstruation stadig er tabu. Målet er at menstruationskopper skal blive mainstream. I dag viser sundhedsplejesker både bind tamponer og kopper ved undervisning på skoler. Gitte ser det øgede kendskab og dertilhørende konkurrence som noget positivt, da det sætter fokus på alternativerne til bind og tamponer. Derudover holder det AllMatters på træerne og gør salgsteamet skarpere i forhold til sell-in. Alt dette og meget mere taler vært Mark Anthony og gæst Gitte Dalberg-Larsen om i dette afsnit af Iværksætterhistorier. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

HVORFOR REAGEREDE INGEN, DA JEG JO ÅBENLYST FORANDREDE MIG? (episode 50) Gitte er 36 og førtidspensionist i dag. Diagnosen forhindrer hende i at kunne arbejde, selvom hun virkelig gerne vil, og har prøvet adskillige gange. Hun er det lægerne kalder "svært ramt", og får den stærkeste medicin, som findes. I gymnasietiden, mister hun sin hund, og over natten får hun sin første psykose. Hendes adfærd ændres drastisk. Hun bliver meget vred og hendes karakterer falder, men ingen reagerer, eller i hvert fald griber ind. Der skal gå hele 6 år før, Gittes daværende kæreste får hende til psykiater, som stiller diagnosen: Skizoaffektiv sindslidelse, som er en blanding af bibolar og skizofreni. Gennem årene siden har hun fået elektro-chok som behandling, som virkelig hjælper. -og hun har ikke været indlagt i tre år nu, som hun også er stolt af. Men hvordan er det at have en diagnose, som du skal leve med. En, der begrænser dig, så du ikke bør få børn selv, ikke kan have et arbejde og blive mødt af skræk, fordi omverden er bange for sådan en diagnose. Hør med her, når Gitte fortæller, om at være gift med en mand, som har to børn. Om at være på en mission, som ambassadør for EnAfOs, i håbet om bare at kunne hjælpe en derude.

We're back, and the “L.A. Trilogy” is finally here! Joined by Los Angeles journalist and historian Hadley Meares, Sean and Cody delve into the environmental history of L.A. by examining this classic 1974 film noir thriller, generally regarded as one of the finest pictures ever made. In Chinatown, private gumshoe J.J. Gittes (Jack Nicholson) is hired by a mysterious femme fatale to stick his soon-to-be-sliced nose into a grubby affair involving L.A.'s water commissioner. The case soon takes a nasty turn as Gittes and his moll Evelyn Mulwray (Faye Dunaway) find themselves in the mist of a labyrinthine conspiracy to steal water and prime real estate in the biggest swindle of all time. Environmental issues discussed include the real-life “water wars” of L.A. vs. the Owens Valley in the early 1900s, the St. Francis dam disaster of 1928, the Los Angeles river, and ethnic cleansing by Los Angeles authorities in the 1930s, especially involving the power of eminent domain. How true is the Bond villain-like conspiracy at the heart of Chinatown's plot? How close is it to the real conspiracy, engineered in the early 1900s, to inflict a deliberate drought on Los Angeles's prime crop land in advance of a vote on a bond measure to fund water infrastructure? William Mulholland: hero or villain? Why did Owens Valley farmers go full-on terrorist in the 1920s, attacking aqueducts with dynamite? How did the Chinese-American population of L.A. get shafted by their white neighbors, not once, but twice? How does this film exemplify the genre of film noir? What does this picture have to do with the Manson murders and Roman Polanski's own monstrous crimes? How does Chinatown lead into the next film in the L.A. Trilogy, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? All these questions and more are shadowing you in a ‘35 Packard in what may prove to be an iconic episode of Green Screen. Content warning: the director of this film, Roman Polanski, is a convicted child rapist; there is brief discussion of his crime in the episode.

He is then drawn into a web of intrigue, murder, and water that can only end in one place: Chinatown.

Chinatown is a 1974 American neo-noir mystery film directed by Roman Polanski from a screenplay by Robert Towne, starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway. The film was inspired by the California Water Wars, a series of disputes over southern California water at the beginning of the 20th century, by which Los Angeles interests secured water rights in the Owens Valley.[4] The Robert Evans production, released by Paramount Pictures, was the director's last film in the United States and features many elements of film noir, particularly a multi-layered story that is part mystery and part psychological drama. The Two Jakes is a 1990 American neo-noir[2] mystery film, and the sequel to the 1974 film Chinatown. Directed by and starring Jack Nicholson, it also features Harvey Keitel, Meg Tilly and Madeleine Stowe. Reprising their roles from Chinatown are Joe Mantell, Perry Lopez, James Hong, Allan Warnick and, in a brief voice-over, Faye Dunaway.

Ridley Scott's upcoming film, All the Money in the World stars Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Williams, and the esteemed, NOT Kevin Spacey. So we discuss the bizarre new marketing campaign that features Christopher Plummer, how the film was late for Critics Choice consideration, and Mike #1 delves into movie history for examples of how Hollywood has pulled the old switcheroo. Covering more headlines, we discuss the firing of Bryan Singer from the upcoming Queen & Freddie Mercury biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody. We analyze the team behind the new Michael Myers slasher film in the Halloween franchise. Then we dive into viral videos, as we have a serious chat about how HBO's Last Week Tonight host, John Oliver crushed Dustin Hoffman in a recent interview. We cover the recent shake-up at DC Comics and Warner Bros, and then we discuss how Disney and Marvel Studios are trying to own the entire business as they try to acquire Fox properties. Also, Twin Peaks has been lauded as a great movie. We rage about this. In closing, we recap the Award Season after the critics of LA and NY have chosen their year's best. We include the recent nominations of the Critics Choice Awards, and discuss the AFI's top 10 list for the year. Hopefully, this update primes you for the Golden Globes announcement, and we will cover those new nominations sooner than later in the week.

Edición 154 de La Gran Evasión, 13/10/2017, esta noche visitamos Chinatown, la obra maestra de Polanski, en 1974 el genio polaco nos atrapaba con su visón, con su homenaje al cine negro clásico, a la literatura negra, a esos detectives que husmean en asuntos turbios jugándose las narices. Chinatown es una obra desoladora, una película con el alma negra, perversa como Polanski, sombría como la luz de Alonzo, inquietante como la sonrisa de Jack Nicholson, cavernosa y oscura como la voz de John Huston y hermosa, irresistible y peligrosa como Faye Dunaway... Robert Towne hace un trabajo de guión perfecto, un minucioso engranaje que nos mantiene atentos, clavados en la butaca siguiendo al señor Gittes por los Ángeles, nos convertimos en su mirada, enorme acierto de Polanski, estar tan desconcertados como él, descubrimos lo que él descubre, y recibimos los mismos golpes, nos quedamos igual de conmocionados. Chinatown, es un estudio sobre el poder, los canallas que disfrutan de sus vidas de lujo a costa de especular, de comprar y vender conciencias, la hipocresía del sueño americano sale a flote, como las inmundicias, es una crónica fabulosa, realizada con un dominio y un conocimiento del cine exquisitos, el personaje de Nicholson, J.J. Gittes, ese detective insensible y cínico no es más que un redomado romántico, otro de tantos, el amor de Cross por su hija nos deja helados, la ciudad de los Ángeles en pleno años treinta es la testigo de la vileza de los hombres....un aroma a literatura y cine, (Chandler, Hammett, Thompson, Cain....Hawks, Bogart, Lang)….esa niebla nos envuelve al terminar la historia….que te deja tan aturdido como la banda sonora de Jerry Goldsmith, que ahonda en esa melancolía, una trompeta delicada y elegante, que recorre ese mundo lleno de riqueza material, pero dónde las personas, el amor, no cuenta, un mundo con la sombra del destino al acecho, la presencia constante del pasado, ese pasado que nos persigue, que no podemos olvidar, como Gittes, como Cross, como la señora Mulwray….en fin, Chinatown es una obra maestra llena de amargura y extremadamente bella. Es todo un clásico del cine negro moderno, todo un drama psicológico, oscuro y misterioso, tragedia, traición, corrupción, sordidez, muerte, el amor queda justo en medio. La película fue un gran triunfo para Roman Polanski, quizás el más grande de su carrera, pero sin el productor, Robert Evans no tendríamos Chinatown tal y como la conocemos. La banda sonora de Jerry Goldsmith es sensible, triste y amarga como la película. La mirada de Polanski es también amarga, desoladora y sombría aunque estemos bajo el sol de los Ángeles, nos muestra cosas horribles expuestas con una belleza extrema, esa es una de sus virtudes, sabe destapar lo más terrible del alma humana, a través de imágenes hermosas, aquí viajamos a ese infierno, una tierra sin agua, sin sentimientos...una bofetada de ponzoñoso amor. Desde la desértica torre de Radiopolis husmeamos en los trapos sucios de la ciudad, intentamos que la corrupción no compre el futuro, aunque el barrio chino lo engulle todo y el pasado nuca, nunca se olvida, no se puede escapar de él.......José Miguel Moreno, Isabel Moncada, Raúl Gallego, Gervi Navío y con las narices hinchadas de cine, nuestro crítico, César Bardés. Gervasio Navío Flores.

Det lyser så fint og så smukt, og vi kan genkende det, hos alle dem der har balance i deres elementer. Så alle de sensitive kunstnertyper der er rundt omkring, og sensitive folk, som hjælper andre mennesker med at finde ind i deres sensitivitet, det er sensitivitet i balance. Hvis man ikke har balancen så spejl jer i andre mennesker. Vid at der også kan være balance inden i hver enkelt af jer, og jeres børn. Og et budskab ift. børn er at de er simpelthen ikke kommet for at være besværlige. Det er der ingen af os der er. Vi er allesammen kommet her for at blive elsket og for at elske. Og vi er allesammen kommet her for at sprede lys. Og lige nu kommer der så mange, med formål at sprede lys, fordi verden har brug for det. Så find ind til det. Find alle gaverne.

Welcome to this edition of the Real Fast Results podcast!  Today's special guest is Dr. Ken Atchity, who is a very well-known Hollywood producer.  As a matter of fact, he is a producer and author who has also worked as a literary manager, speaker, writer, editor, and professor of comparative literature, among other things.  During this exclusive interview, Ken shares insight on what it takes to sell your story to Hollywood.  Without further ado, please welcome Ken to the show... What's Your Promise Today? I think what we're trying to get across today is giving our audience insight into how a story gets sold into Hollywood and whether they should have any hope of selling their story into Hollywood.  That's my goal. What Are the Benefits of Selling My Story? Every book writer and storyteller would like to see their story in front of a maximum audience.  That's what I have dedicated my last 30 years to, is helping storytellers find their maximum audience, and I long ago realized, of course, that the maximum audience is the screen.  We used to call it the "big screen" and the "little screen" before the advent of the flat screen in homes.  Sometimes that screen can be as big as the one at the movie theater.  But, in any case, television and film take stories around the world.  There isn't a country, with the possible exception of Saudi Arabia, that doesn't love movies. When you get a story told to the movies, the world gets to see your story.  You know, it can be dubbed in 182 languages, etc.  If the story came from a book that you wrote, then guess what?  The book will sell many, many more copies than it ever sold before.  We've had several examples of that in the last couple of years.  The Lost Valentine with Betty White ended up selling a whole bunch of copies of the book, which was republished for the purpose. Meg is about...after years and years of preproduction, Meg is going into production this summer in New Zealand, and we've already geared up the books to be sold again, even though they've been selling for 15 years now.  They'll really sell now because the movie becomes a commercial for your story, for your book.  So, it will sell more books.  You're getting your story out to everyone, the people who read and the people who watch.  That's the exciting part about making a Hollywood deal. Can You Run Me Through the Steps of How My Story Might Get Told? I think the first and most important element your story needs to have is to be universal.  It needs to be the kind of story that everyone wants to hear about.  There aren't that many stories in human experience, but we want to hear over and over again because every time we hear them anew, we actually hear things we haven't heard before, and we think of that story in ways that we hadn't thought before.  Therefore, it applies to our life and gives us a better inkling of how to deal with this crazy hodgepodge of stimulation that we call life.  Stories are...When we stop, and pause, and ask the question, "What's it all about," and "What would happen if a person like me got stuck into a situation like that,"...That's kind of the ancient formula of storytelling. So, its first quality is it has got to be something we care about universally.  You can start with the Seven Deadly Sins, or the Seven Virtues, and it isn't hard to figure out what people care about.  Love, and hate, and fear, and loss, etcetera, these are all big human subjects for stories, and therefore universally applicable.  That's the #1 quality that you need to have.  The second quality that a story for Hollywood needs to have is a hero.  I use the word loosely because I know better, as a former professor of classics and Greek drama.  I know that the real word is protagonist.  The Greeks invented that. The very first plays that were staged in Athens only had one actor.  He was the protagonist.  He was not only the protagonist, he was the only actor, and he basically came out on stage and acted out a story.  Later on, some genius added the second actor, who was known as the antagonist, the one who tries to stop the protagonist because he has opposite goals.  You know, we were off and running with drama when we had those two actors.  We still need that first actor, the one whose story it is and who has to do things in order to make his story turn out either happily or tragically.  So, that's what the protagonist is all about, but he's the first...He's the actor, the one who causes action to happen, and he is the primary reason that we're watching.  That means the protagonist, the hero, has to be sympathetic. Sympathetic is another ancient Greek concept.  It doesn't mean that we have sympathy because he lost his mother or he lost his daughter.  It means that we are able to suffer along with him.  That he's got such charisma as a character that we instantly get his suffering and can experience, through him and with him.  That's what "sympathetic" means.  So, we need a sympathetic hero.  If someone's completely unlikable, we lose interest within the first few minutes, but this hero doesn't necessarily have to be a good guy. My favorite example is Shakespeare's Richard III, where this ugly, kind of crippled, stupid guy comes out onto the stage in a black costume and proceeds to tell us how unhappy he is with life because he's constantly getting the short end of everything and that he's finally decided to do something about it.  He's going to go out and kill his brother's family and take the throne, after committing the 10 crimes that he predicts that he will commit.  Within a few lines of this amazing opening, everybody is totally rooting for him, not because he's a good guy, but because we are fascinated, mesmerized, horrified, by his candor.  You know, his outspoken willingness to tell us how bad he is and that he's going to do something about it, and we watch in horror for the rest of the play, until he finally brings himself down in ruins along with the whole kingdom. There's an example of a sympathetic hero.  Or, the beginning of Lethal Weapon, the first movie, when Mel Gibson wakes up in his really sleazy-looking trailer and reaches for a beer can that's open.  He takes a slug of beer, stands up and takes a walk into his bathroom and pisses.  Then, sits down again, pulls out his gun, and starts Russian roulette with the barrel of the gun in his mouth, and then we learn that he's a homicide detective.  Within the first few minutes of this, we can't stop watching.  Here's a story in which the hero is a suicidal homicide detective, and of course, he's matched with a partner who has only got a couple of weeks to retire after a long and happy career.  So, this is called creating sympathy for the characters, and these are some of the qualities of a great story. Those are three big things that you need to have to get your story sold to Hollywood.  There are others.  There has to be a very three act structure.  What are the three acts?  The beginning, the middle, and the end, not necessarily in that order, as a famous Italian director once said, but you have to have them.  The ending has to be conclusive and satisfying.  It can't just be intellectual, and thoughtful, and [open ended]...Movies that have those types of endings are not huge blockbuster successes.  People pay for stories, and stories as far as ordinary people are concerned, the audience, is "I want something that instantly drags me into the story, that keeps my attention the whole time, and then that punches me at the end with a conclusion so satisfying that I feel like I really got my money's worth for my ticket.  And, if I'm watching on television, that doesn't cause me to push the remote at any time during the story, other than maybe to turn the volume up. That's what it's all about, and that's what we are all looking for in Hollywood.  The good news about Hollywood is that it has become a lot more complicated than it used to be.  It's much more voracious for stories than it used to be because we have so many channels, and so many outlets, and so many ways of distribution.  All of them have to be fed, like a dragon that's eating rabbits.  It needs rabbits every day.  If it sees a rabbit it likes, then it will make a deal. It chases rabbits, and you know, one of the things that struck me when I entered this profession, from the academic world years ago, is that there are people called "trackers" who spend their whole days tracking down the rights to stories, and calling people like me and saying, "Do you control the rights to XYZ story?"  All they want to hear is "yes," or "No, but I'll tell you who does control them."  Then, they report back to their bosses, who pay them monthly just to track stories.  I thought, "Wow, this is really the world of storytelling if people are tracking them, not to mention paying lots of money for them, and investing millions and millions into making movies out of them." What Can I Do to Punch Up the Ending to My Story? Be creative.  That's where the creativity comes in.  You want to have an ending that leaves people bowled over and thoughtful, and sitting there in the theater thinking about it because they're so impressed by it.  If it's an action movie, it's going to be a big, climatic action scene with explosions, and guns, and all of that kind of stuff.  If it's a romance, you want a very satisfying conclusion.  It doesn't always have to be a happy ending, although in today's world that's what mostly succeeds.  I always use the example of the ending of Witness, where Harrison Ford's character is leaving Kelly McGillis' character, who lives on an Amish farm in Pennsylvania.  He is a tough Philadelphia detective, and as they kiss for the last time and he gets in his car, the audience is heartbroken.  They are thinking, "This is the most beautiful romance we've ever seen, and now he's leaving?" The director, Adrian Lyne, shows a very large place, a ranch or a farm, with a very long driveway.  That was probably the most important thing, when they were location scouting, was to choose it for the length of the driveway because his last shot is of Harrison Ford's car driving down that driveway.  As it's driving down, we see that it's slow, it's hesitating, and we're rooting for him to make a u-turn and go back into her arms because she's standing there in tears, watching her leave.  Then, as it keeps going, and he doesn't turn around, we start thinking, "Wait a minute, would I believe that?  A Philadelphia detective decides to live on a farm with Amish people, or would I believe it if she jumped in his car and went to Philadelphia with him?  Can I see a future in that?"  And, you realize, you get resigned to the fact that that's not the way this story can end. Finally, he reaches the end of the driveway and disappears from view as he turns, and you feel stunned by the beauty of the story and by the realization that some romance doesn't have to end in wedding bells and have happy endings.  It doesn't make it less beautiful; it just makes it more real.  So, there's an example of enhancing an ending so that the story leaves you satisfied. And, notice that the director is  filled with dramatic insight because he knows that it will take that long for the audience to be rooting for the ending he has chosen for this story.  You know, if you did it too suddenly, you'd feel weird and dissatisfied.  So, suspense and drama are what movies are all about, and if what you started with isn't dramatic or suspenseful enough, you write a treatment to fit your story, and in that treatment, you make sure the ending is more dramatic than what your source material was. What is a Treatment?  What Else Will I Need? I wrote a book about treatments years ago because I kept hearing the word, and I realized no one had a common definition of it.  My partner and I, Chi-Li Wong and I, did a survey of 200 execs in television and film, and writers and directors, and got back responses.  We used those responses to explain what a treatment is and to define what a treatment is.  Basically, it's a tool that has two functions.  It's a tool for focusing your story, like a diagnostic tool, and it is a tool for selling your story, a marketing tool.  So, diagnostics and marketing. I always urge the writers that we work with to write a treatment before they even start writing a script or anything else.  The treatment is the perfect way to do it because you're not invested emotionally in the pages you've created.  Since they're simply a tool, they're not the final result, and you don't have to moan and groan if we decide to change the sex of a character, or if we decide there are too many characters, you can just cut out the character and put him in the back of your head for another story sometime. So, a treatment is very useful because it allows people to read a quick overview of your story, you know?  It can be five to, say, ten pages long.  There are no rules about that.  We say a treatment is a relatively brief narrative, a loosely-written narrative.  I always say the best way to think of it is like a passionate letter to your best friend, explaining the night that you walked out on your wife.  You would not be using expository prose from sixth grade lessons; you would just be explosively describing, "I came home, and I found her naked in the middle of the living room, dancing with my neighbor who I thought was my best friend."  And, "blah blah blah..."  You just instantly blurt it all out.  That's what a treatment is, and it makes someone immediately want to make this movie, basically. That's what a treatment is, and it's one of several things you need to market your story.  Another thing that you need is a pitch, which is a one-line pitch of your story that will be unforgettable, describing the situation in a way that makes the listener want to know how it comes out.  As I said, the skeletal, generic pitch is, "What would happen if a gal like this found herself in the middle of a situation like that?"  That's what your pitch needs to be.  Once you have that pitch, it's called a logline, you can then email it to people in the industry who might be interested in looking at your story.  They'll then ask you, "I'm interested in the idea you have.  Do you have the treatment, or what do you have?"  And then, you send them the treatment to further hook them. At the end of the day, if you started with a script or if you started with a book, they'll ask to see that too, but it's a sales scenario in which these are the tools that you use to make the sale.  A one-page synopsis is part of it too.  Like, you'll have a pitch, a one-paragraph or one-page outline of the story.  Well, not an outline; you shouldn't use that word because that's one of those sixth grade word that, synopsis/outline, nothing to do with drama, nothing to do with Hollywood.  We want something that punches us in the face and makes us decide, you know, "you've got to see it".  That's the biggest, probably...Most used sales pitch of friends to friends on the phone, or email, or text is, "You've got to see it." Then, they might say, "Well, what's it about?"  And you say, "It's about a dog that waited for its master for 25 years, until he came home."  You know, that's the pitch.  "Okay, I'll see it."  You know, "Who is in it?"  "Richard Gere. "  "Okay, I definitely want to see that."  You know, it's that simple.  It's not complicated psychologically; it's just human. So, If My Story Doesn't Have All the Elements That it Needs, I Can Just Repair It in the Treatment? Exactly.  The treatment, what the beauty of it is...Let's say your story is based on a book that you wrote, if your book doesn't have a conclusive ending, now you give it one.  If your book doesn't have a well-defined "Act II", with a lot of ups and downs and twists and turns, you make sure the treatment does.  You might have to invent some of that stuff, but that's okay.  You're the creator.  You invented the story in the first place.  Now you try to make the story a movie, and movies are governed by action.  I always say there's two kinds of action.  One is, "He opened the front door and she shot him."  You know, "She was standing there with the shotgun and blasted at him."  That's action. But, dialog is also action in a movie.  It's not action in a restaurant where you overhear someone at the next table because mostly people are saying kind of inane things like, "How are you feeling today...Oh, I'm feeling okay.  How about you?"  This kind of dialog is not dramatic dialogue.  Dialog is...You know, there's a famous scene from China Town, Robert Towne's script, in which the detective, Gittes, is with the leading lady, and he says, "I want the truth,' and she says, "My sister...She's my sister."  And, he slaps her and he goes, "The truth, god damn it, I need to hear the truth," and she goes, "My mother," and he goes, "I just want the truth," and he slaps her again.  "My sister, my mother, my sister, my mother..."  Then finally, "She's my sister and my mother."  This dialogue suddenly reveals why this woman is so tortured and why, you know, the things that have happened in the story have happened. It's extremely dramatic, with very few words.  There's a great line in a Hemingway short story that I also love, in which these two people are sitting and waiting for a train in Spain and he is jabbering away, talking about like, "It's fine, you'll just go there and let a little air in, and then everything will be fine, and we'll be just the way we were before, and there's really no big deal to it."  The girl is not saying anything, and he keeps talking.  "I'll go with you if you want me to.  I mean, I'm willing to do it, but you can do it by yourself," and so on.  And, she says, "Would you do me a favor?"  "I'll do anything for you.  I told you, I'll do anything for you."  Well, she says, "Will you please, please, please, please, please stop talking." The next line is...The man did not say anything for a moment, and then he said, "Would you like a beer?" You realize, at that moment, that there is no future for this couple, that he is not on her wavelength, and that they are headed in a different direction.  That's all done with dialogue.  There's hardly any action in the story.  You know, there's hardly any physical action.  It's done with only dramatic dialogue, which is action.  And so, novels have much non-dramatic dialogue in them, connectives that get you from one place to the other, but when you actually want to turn it into a film, you need to get rid of all of that and replace it only with the dialogue that moves things and makes things happen. Any More Words of Wisdom for People Who Really Want to Do This? It's difficult.  That's my first word of wisdom.  It's not easy.  Think about it.  Everyone in the world would like to have their stories told by Hollywood, but the great part about it is the difficult part.  The fact is, when you succeed you will have done what everyone in the world wants to do.  So, you need to be your own decider here and not listen to the advice of anyone.  Just go for it, and never stop going for it.  Just learn as much as you can about the business (It's called "show business" for a reason), and about how it works.  That is our #1 goal...is to help you to understand the business procedures by which it works so that you have a chance there, and never forget that they are looking for you as much as you're looking for them. I always say, "People think of it as a dark, slow-moving river that you can never get across.  In the middle is an island with beautiful trees, and flowers, and beautiful people."  Once you get on that island, even though it was difficult to get on it, guess what?  It's going to be even more difficult to get off of it.  That's because once you're in there, they want you to [stay], and they become loyal to you because they're proud of the fact that you crossed that island.  They recognize you for that.  So, it's a great goal, and it's a goal that never gets old because no matter how old you are, you can still sell stories and Hollywood is still listening to them.  You know, people say, "How many chances do you get at Hollywood?"  Well, you get as many chances as you are willing to take.  That's how many you get.

Films noir, crime novels and detective stories all have a long history of unlikable characters that we cheer for. Bad guys doing good work. Flawed heroes who always know the right line to say and the right time to offer a lady a light. Agatha Christie this ain't, and this week we're getting our hands dirty by talking with Killing Them Softly director Andrew Dominik about violence and "Seduction of the Innocent" author Max Allan Collins about the history of the genre. He'll offer the best films noir for new fans to start with, and then Geoff and I will discuss how to write unlikable characters with Chinatown in our sites. For more from us on a daily basis, follow the show (@brokenprojector), Geoff (@drgmlatulippe) and Scott (@scottmbeggs) on the Twitter. And, as always, we welcome your feedback.
