Mamet just dropping all the knowledge.

I learned a lot from theater acting. It's an experience like nothing else. I don't think of myself as an actor, but it was great experience.

Exit13Productions This was wonderful. Here is another acting process instruction video pairing the process with the final theater piece. It looks at Reunion and Pony Boy. Mr. Mamet is amazing in this as well and is the actors. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbeZetahuJzWhps.html

As Mamet knows, a live audience also helps. And the internet is not a live audience, so those "learning" filmmaking there may end up just repeating audio visual riffs they've seen on MTV. "Views" is not the same league as a live audience, reacting together as a unit. A live audience can help any performing artist figure out what works ... particularly an audience beyond friends and peers.

Pretty inspiring, I should say and it shall teach many would-be-writers and filmmakers although his style is definitely set and stuck on its own. - NYC, 10/7/2019

I would have asked these questions: In going back through your plays, would you rewrite, cut or otherwise change anything with your present understanding of the craft? If you could put a subtitle on your plays, for example, American Buffalo, a play about... what would they be?

Not all film making styles fit Mamet's sometimes contradictions about text vs visual approaches. Even his own movies are highly crafted visual presentations of actors speaking his words. Anyway, interesting listening to this very gifted artist.

Can someone please explain the joke with the "female lead"?

@selfmarketing 3 жыл бұрын

He means that a Producer (God) will have some starlett they are dating that they want in the project and force you to use her. So, the decision is made for you. Everything other aspect of the film you have the free will to do as you please. Just not the female lead.

I don't agree with the no research part. You can't assume everything you read hasn't been carefully studied (i.e. climate change, the big bang theory)

Mike Mecek that's more to story with evidence... drama is about someone story itself... but you got some point in it...

No. His arrogance and privilege have given him blind spots. He lost me when he was dismissive about actors, inexplicably arguing for a false hierarchy, around 6 minutes in.

@beuller7 5 ай бұрын

Oh please. For someone with alleged “blind spots” as you say, the man’s got more insight about his craft & storytelling - which he shares freely btw - than you’ll ever hope to have about yours. And as for being dismissive of actors, I’m a working actor myself, and trust me when I say: the majority of us richly deserve dismissing.
