He is seeing WITH HIS EYES the truth. But what I'm talking about is an image that is a contrast in meaning to the closing shot, an image that shows him seeing THROUGH A MASK. Thus, the two images would illustrate an arc. The Opening Shot sets up what the film is about as well as the expectation of what's to come. And in many times, the opening shot parallels the closing shot but illustrates a change of some kind. Falling books just didn't work for me. You need a shot that contrasts the closing shot. Jim Emerson talks about this in a few examples in his <A HREF="http://blogs.suntimes.com/scanners/opening_shots_project/" REL="nofollow">Opening Shots Project</A>.<br /><br />-MMMystery Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486331815227364944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-16264887559377708912009-05-11T17:00:00.000-04:002009-05-11T17:00:00.000-04:00Hi MM!

Reading th...OK, calm down terraling. Last comment.<br /><br />Reading through that scene one more time, what I specifically don't like about Beatty's end is that he acts as if he believes there is no way that Montag would kill him even though Montag has lost everything and is backed into a corner. Beatty is too well read not to see the likelihood of his own demise, and there should be some way of showing that.<br /><br />So, what I would like to see is, as Montag thumbs the safety on the flamethrower, Beatty grabs at Millie to shield himself. There is a stand-off. Montag reminds Millie of how and when they first met, something she has forgotten, and what he says or the way he says it is enough to tip-off Beatty that he is going to torch them both, that the Millie he loved is not there anymore. And Beatty reacts by..? By letting her go and presenting himself as a lone target. As someone who has lived by the flame he prepares to die by the flame, and conflicted character that he is, welcomes the release. He delivers one last poetic quotation to that effect. Montag quizzes him as to who said that. 'I did.' Beatty is not just a reader, but a writer too. Could there be a greater crime in such a world? And then he makes a move, precipitating the flames...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-62810676202780811082009-05-08T08:47:00.000-04:002009-05-08T08:47:00.000-04:00So, my head is still buzzing, and I think maybe I ...So, my head is still buzzing, and I think maybe I like the idea of his grabbing Millie, and - just before he torches her and Beatty both - he reminds Millie of where and how it was they met, something suitably thematic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-33901727893998694462009-05-08T08:44:00.000-04:002009-05-08T08:44:00.000-04:00Wow.

Just finished reading it, if that's the right word, it was such a visceral experience it almost felt like something that was happening to me rather than something I was studying.<br /><br />Thanks so much for putting me on to such a terrific script.<br /><br />You rightly identify the weakest part as Millie's betrayal, and, like nic, I also thought that for such a powerful adversary Beatty was slightly short-changed. What I would like to see with the current version is for the physical gesture of Montag flipping off the safety to exactly mirror the old lady sparking up the match with her thumb.<br /><br />Maybe it would be too melodramatic, but were Beatty to snatch Millie to shield himself it would make Montag's choice pretty interesting. As it stands at the moment, the purported depth of his feeling for her seems pretty unrealistic, for who she was, yes, but she's been lost to him a long time. (When on the mountain he looks at the city and says 'Millie', that was the one moment which took me out of the story as it just didn't seem right.)<br /><br />Actually, it was the second time.

When we landed, I ended up going to a bookstore and picking up the Bradbury's book which I hadn't read since 4th grade (and barely remembered) <br /><br />Darabont is to me what William Goldman is for other writers. Something about Darabont's scripts just hook me -- they're easy to follow and totally engage me in the world he creates.<br /><br />Reading his scripts has actually taught me more about writing than any of the books I've picked up on the subject have. <br /><br />And your site is a tremendous help as well -- just don't keep us hanging for an update like that again. If you do, I may have to call my attorney. :)<br /><br /><br />ErinEchomusicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-364664324660823532009-05-06T15:39:00.000-04:002009-05-06T15:39:00.000-04:00hey JJ--Nice, nice, very nice--excellent Bradbury ...hey JJ--Nice, nice, very nice--excellent Bradbury allusion.

Your analysis of the film's many weaknesses is very shrewd.
