Grrrr.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Yes, Rebecca, the right actor makes a big difference. It's not that I think they're useless. But they're creating by template, a basis left for them by someone else who truly invented it.<BR/><BR/>I know, Michele, I meant to mention it was you who pointed the petition out to begin with, I'm sorry. This post wasn't exactly how I'd planned it.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Oh, McKoala, that would mean going out again in the cold, lol!Staciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969399927758009095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-82611449107234569732007-11-20T12:09:00.000+00:002007-11-20T12:09:00.000+00:00I know, Robyn!

I would have loved to see more about her in another book.<BR/>Ah, dialogue...so tricky. You'll get there!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Thanks, Cyn. I'm hoping if I get a lot of rest over the next few days I can nip it in the bud. Luckily the hubs will be home from Thursday to the following Tuesday, so...sleep for me!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Oh, I agree a good ator brings the material to life, Anna, but the material has to exist first, and that's why I think writing is more important. <BR/>Maybe the Clarice Jodie Foster imagined wouldn't have done it, but there was nothing in the film or in her performance that didn't already exist in the character Thomas Harris created. She had an interpretation of that material, sure, but for her to claim her interpretation was The Character and Harris was wrong was presumptuous to say the least.Staciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969399927758009095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-79652286923139417632007-11-20T05:28:00.000+00:002007-11-20T05:28:00.000+00:00I think you need to take yourself to the book stor...I think you need to take yourself to the book store for a little treat or two.

A good actor can mean the difference between golden sounding words and completely crappy sounding words. Four years of conseratory style acting school and listening to twenty different men interpret Hamlet certainly brought home that lesson.<BR/><BR/>Actors are artists too. Artists whose bodies and minds and souls are all part of their art and that can be....trixy. And exhausting and grueling and mind-fucking. At least good actors anyway.<BR/><BR/>There's a reason I find being a writer much easier. I can make my character a victim of some horrible crime and feel those feelings with her and pour them out onto the page but I don't actually have to feel that ache in my body, let those feelings fill my mind and come out through my eyes so that the actor I'm working with can see and respond to all that awfulness. There were days "at work" when I was an actor that took it out of me in a way writing never could.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and writing pays better...usually :). For me anyway, lol.<BR/><BR/>And um, what else was I going to say...oh yeah, I'll have to side with Jodi. The Clarice she brought to life might *not* have done those things the Clarice did in the second movie. That character, that person she made, was more than the lines she was given. And I'm sure that Clarice was real to her in the same way the book Clarice was real to the author...you know?<BR/><BR/>Anna J.

I'm glad she refused the role. Personally, I loved the development of that character. I loved the change she went through; that exploration of her own dark side. The character would have ended up totally flat without it. <BR/><BR/>Your post reminds me of that episode of Friends where Joey claimed to write his own dialogue; the writers killed him for it. <BR/><BR/>This is making me worry even more about my own character's dialogue. Dammit. <BR/><BR/>Sigh. <BR/><BR/>I guess that's one more thing to fix in rewrites. <BR/><BR/>SdBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-42684892101238058162007-11-19T14:17:00.000+00:002007-11-19T14:17:00.000+00:00I'm firmly with the writers here.
