How Aaron Sorkin Creates Musical Dialogue In ‘The Social Network’ | 10 Minutes Of Perfection
Рет қаралды 398,123
4 жыл бұрынThe dialogue of screenwriter Aaron Sorkin is often described as "rhythmic" or "musical." But those descriptors are vague, and so to find out exactly why Sorkin's writing sounds so distinctive, we analyzed some of the literary devices that Sorkin uses in his writing. The opening scene of "The Social Network" is a stellar example of how Sorkin layers his dialogue with rhythms and melodies by using repetition, long lines of dialogue, and iambic meter.

@@arsyadr8570 Not so much. There's actually a great documentary by Keanu Reeves (of all people) on the subject called "Side by Side", that discusses the leap from film to digital. The Social Network was the very first major Hollywood film to be shot in 4K digital on the RED Dragon, something that's now standard but was revolutionary for the time. If you think any movies from 2000-2010 looked like this one did, that's because they were shot on film. Nothing came close to this quality digitally until this movie.

This movie is 90% Jesse's work. His performance was OUTSTANDING and immediately became my fav. Delivering dialogues with poker face with fast speech....incredible! Two of my fav scenes of the movie: 1) When Mark breaches the security on campus network and is called. _Mark Zuckerberg: As for any charges stemming from the breach of security, I believe I deserve some recognition from this board._ _Ad Board Chairwoman: I'm sorry?_ _Mark Zuckerberg: Yes?_ _Ad Board Chairwoman: I don't understand._ _Mark Zuckerberg: Which part?_ 2) When he is being interrogate _" I think if your clients want to sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall, they have the right to give it a try - but there's no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie. You have part of my attention - you have the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook, where my colleagues and I are doing things that no one in this room, including and especially your clients, are intellectually or creatively capable of doing."_

I think a lot of good filmmaking has to do w/ rhythm in various aspects. It can be in music, dialogue, storytelling, editing, cinematography, sound, acting, improvisation, etc... Hell, Jackie Chan always talks about rhythm when it comes to action choreography & stunt work. He used to write down the beats for a fight scene so that the movements would be energizing for the audience. The progression of his style is summarized in Every Frame a Painting's "Jackie Chan - How to Do Action Comedy" video. Such meticulous detail is what separates a George Miller symphony from a Michael Bay noise barrage.

And then we shrug and wonder if he thinks people talk like that...

Everyone always praises Aaron Sorkin for writing amazing dialogue but I can't help always feeling like there's 1 big issue with it, depending on how you're viewing it and what your intention (and therefore definition of good is). Is the dialogue clever? Is it witty? Is it comedic when it needs to be? Is it enjoyable to listen to? On the whole yes, it's usually all these things. The 1 big problem with it I can't get past when watching anything written by Sorkin. Is it realistic? No, not even slightly. Nobody actually talks like that! 😂

This is my favourite movie but i really dont understand why ppl make it seem like aaron invented musical dialogue, sitcoms have been doing it for ages! its just different with him cause he uses that style in a drama which is something that has never been seen b4 i guess
