My favourite movie. It came out when I was 14. I felt less alone. It changed me deeply. I watch it yearly on my birthday ❤

Why did you decide to "never sell a script ever again"? I seems it was a very negative experience. I'm curious.

Very good analysis!

You Lost me at “trust god” this going to be a boring movie

Super excited for this series, you're like a guide to writing story and holding our hand through the entire process of writing a screenplay. This is much needed, thank you. Your messy google docs say it all haha

Love this new type of video! I always find it really helpful to see writers actually doing the process of writing. That's why I loved your video about writing a screenplay in 48 hours. Thanks for being so brave to share your story with us, especially in such an early stage!

Sounds like you're ready to make a movie.

Your greatest work yet. 🙌

Been my favorite movie since age 12 when I picked it up at the video store on a whim

What a great idea!! Thank you Tyler, I’m learning a lot of stuff from you.

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭ESV‬‬ 😀

Nooo i missed out!! I was at work.😭

Viking brotherhood? Seriously?

Can't wait to see the next draft of this thing.

Tyler this is epic. I’m out here in London 🇬🇧 writing my first comedy feature screenplay. You are a scholar and a gentleman ❤️

Excited for this series

Agreed, so much of our existential angst is self-imposed by our desires and dreams and those external influences that we've accepted as lore. Once you've realized the farce, you are faced with the big question...now what?

Lets goooooo!!

This is so good..also recommend all books by John Truby

Your screenwriting series is a great help with the questions I have as I start writing. Have you studied screenwriting?

I just stumbled onto this video for the first time and holy shit it's brilliant.

RRR has two protagonist and film is just 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’ve gone through some life changes like this in my own life. So much so that I’ve found I don’t want to do anything because I’m content. Even so I went to Austin for comedy recently and discovered myself to knew depths. Like you’re saying, I discovered it was a world I had no desire to be a part of. I have much more respect for you for choosing the path of being real than if you were a “successful” Hollywood phony.

this was intense

About dream sequences: THE REBOOT OF HELLBOY FUCKIN "CLICKBAITED" WITH THE COOLEST SCENES IN THE TRAILER, AND IT TURNED OUT THAT THOSE ENTIRE SHOTS IN THE TRAILER WEREN'T EVEN EXPANDED UPON IN THE MOVIE. THAT WAS ALL THAT WAS. I'M STILL MAD

How are you doing bro?

Thank you for being BRAVE SIR

I always felt shutter island was inspired from the classic The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

Can you give a list of scripts you recommend? Fury Road is damn near a comic book.

Dear Tyler, Look at the numbers and look at what you have done, you may not have a full grasp of how much influence you have on the world, an I am pretty sure the comments would give you a hint , I am from Nigeria and I can tell for sure there's so much Love from me and those following you... Thank you so much for the influence and knowledge and cant wait to hear from you and work with you in the near future

i deeply resonate with this video. Best of luck brother.

Hey Tyler, kudos to you for having this awakening. I've had similar epiphanies. You're an intelligent, driven individual so you'll find a kickass new path to embrace! Also, thank you for this channel! It has & continue to teach me so much. I reference videos I've seen dozens of times when working on projects & they inspire breakthroughs. Cheers, mate. Best of luck!

I wish you were my English teacher

Thanks, I was beginning to despair ... 🙃😂

This movie was released in 1999. Tyler Durdan would have his head spinning in this age.

My story goes nearly the same : It was 2018 when I first had the thought of becoming something highly successful and ultra rich but never had any vision of what I wanted to do to get there. then a year later in 2019 I first had the idea of becoming a writer and / or highly successful Hollywood actor and get that rich, now don't get me wrong i liked stories since my childhood and always dreamed of creating fantasy world in reality but that idea wasn't translated into the simplest work until late 2019 and by then I was doing almost anything to learn (watching movies randomly, learning every now and then about writing advices, reading books, consuming random videos about writing even as I didn't understand a thing, etc). but the problem with that was I thought this can be achieved as soon as I got to Hollywood so I kept clinging to that lie ignoring all my friends and family, keeping myself a loner in college, telling myself that I wasn't worth anything here and I only belong to Hollywood, never realizing the girl I liked as a friend had love for me until too late, no health care, no self development, rushing every job I had just to get money to go to ... Well you guessed it, Hollywood. Now, five years after I had that vision of becoming successful writer I am still working to achieve it but now I am not the same person, I am different in every way and now believe that Hollywood isn't and will never be bigger than the world, that I can actually check other cultures and countries and people to see where I belong really, that my friends and people matter, that my self actually matter and I have seen great change in every bit of my work where I previously struggled to understand now I get easily and done as I now want to be a writer for a purpose much bigger than money for just fame.

Hi Tyler, please could you tell us more about viewpoint 1 and viewpoint 2 of the philosophical concept to create conflict between more than two characters. I'm talking about the four corner opposition. I feel that I get this wrong. Thank you. 😊

hollywood was tryna take that boys booty

“Jesus replied, “Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NLT‬

I believe this video will do more for people than you can ever imagine. I really loved connecting with what you said - the lessons learned. There are so many good things here but what struck me the most was the pauses, the SILENCE WAS SO LOUD - quite beautiful. There's so much in silence, I personally love it in film and motion-picture. You are speaking many truths. Thank you for all you do, Tyler - you are on a great path, I look forward to more of you, and your desire to birth another level of storytelling. BELIEVE.

Those mosquitos are on a hero's journey to your forehead! lol For real though, such a thoughtful articulation of the journey. You nail the arc. I did it too. Went to Hollywood. Experienced success. Failure. Divorced Hollywood. Exiled myself. Went through ego death. My most recent two epiphanies: I needed to add back a bit of ego to rejoin the world, and I needed to figure out how to share with others my "boon", the experience of my journey, as a sort of karmic foundation for the third act of my life. Anyhoo, cheers to your transformation and well wishes for your continued journey. To quote Best In Show, "If you get tired, pull over. If you get hungry, eat something."

Tyler. Thanks for sharing. Same thing happened to me. In order to make sense of the transition, it really helped me look into Jung's concept of Individuation, or becoming whole. James Hollis also wrote about this transition in great lengths.

The best to you.❤

All good man. Just don't join a cult

You are always an inspiration, a beam of light. Despite what you said, I have never seen you give less than all you could, high or low, always from the heart. Your radiance is unmistakable, in your work and in your life.

I too had my sights set Hollywood, and went to film school, and recently my life came full circle when I discovered the dark of the industry as well. Still writing, but I had to completely stop, move back and reset. I wasn’t able to write until I a sense of the Truth. This investigation led me far, thru many spiritual deep dives. I essentially went from atheist to agnostic Bhuddist and went to India, and met the Dalaï Lama. Left disappointed. Got into Shintoism and went to Japan. Left disappointed again! I came back and tried to make my own hodgepodge yoga- in the same vain as Alan Watts. I hoped I was onto something. Though that left me in a darker place than ever. I went to Corepower yoga classes for ten years. Then I got into yin yoga, as a way to help heal my spirit. But one evening that lie was ripped away from me too. What I thought was “like-attracts-like”. You get what you put into it. I didn’t go into it negatively. I went in expecting healing. And I got possessed! I was opened to attacks in the spiritual war. Felt cold and unshakable fear and panic. I felt penetrated, and had to cancel my whole date night planned with my wife ahead of us. I drove off, and spent the night alone. I wanted to attack and kill and destroy everything, even my friends and neighbors. I knew I needed help. Real spiritual healing. Not the counterfeit. I tried to meditate and focus on light and love, but that didn’t work. The whole thing was deception. A trap. They fed off my fear. As they feed off the rituals of Hollywood and the others too! Spirits and demons are real. As described in the Bible. Jesus is the one who showed up in these stories again and again. Alan watts lied about Jesus’s words in the Bible. When I looked into his claims, he was another fallen hero. I didn’t have that breakthrough with Alan. Not until I prayed to Jesus. In my search for the Truth, I figured I would also read the Holy Bible, since I’d explored the other spiritual texts. I did so alone. Away from influence. In secret. I didn’t expect it to light me up. And completely change me. Save me! This “old and overlooked” Book was the thing I’d been missing? Right under my nose? Impossible. I’ll never get over it. Day after day, it never gets old. I never regret or feel lost when I pray and study. Each morning, I read a little in my room or car, and continue to chew on it. -Romans 12:2 “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-His good, pleasing and perfect will.” My writing has resumed. Not just back to form-but better than ever. There is Truth out there. As well as spiritual warfare. Satan and Jesus too. Satanists gain real powers with blood sacrifices. The force of evil though is no match for the victor in Christ. Who would love to share His spoils and gains over sin, with all of His creation.

Please continue to share more. Expose the corruption within the failing system that is Hollywood. Keep inspiring people. This video reached me on a deep level. Thank you Tyler
