I’ve read the script of Lady Bird, it’s amazing. It’s intelligent and so smart. It’s not like I’m reading a script but like I’m reading her mind while she’s thinking about how she wants the movie. She’s so smart and underrated. I love Greta, she amazing.

I agree with her. Dialogue that doesn't sound like writing is 1. so hard to do, and 2. so satisfying to experience from an audience perspective. Some of Woody Allen's comedies I find too written sounding-like everyone has too many good lines after one another in a complete unrealistic way

This really connects with what was discussed with Andrew Garfield ("Andrew Garfield Reflects on Celebrity Culture"). In a play, to the audience, the actors are mere interpreters of what was typewritten, they act according to the guides and maybe, like Greta Gerwig said, sometimes you'd "think this people were making it up, on the spot". Human people with human traits, be it qualities or flaws. While in a movie, that which contributes to the "exaltation" of actors (and famous people, in general) is exactly because viewers don't see the events folding in front of them, but through a screen (home or one at the cinema), and again, like Greta Gerwig so neatly put it, "because people know that the filmmakers have watched this a million times, they've cut it, chosen where the editing points are, so this can't really be a mistake". So, "apparently", that are/were no improv moments. And this leads to mentally placing a cinema actor, as the character, with the same personality, quirks and life experiences. And a theater actor, as a normal human being, portraying someone on that specific moment, that specific play. Awesome "off-camera" talk(s) :)

Coming here from Hannah Takes the Stairs. Its surprising to hear her say she refrains from improv dialogue now adays considering she wrote screenplays and acted in movies while using that style for so long. I wonder what her writing process is like now. In Lady Bird she was able to capture the idiosyncratic moments in everyday life. And the improvised dialogue is meant to capture those moments. I feel like she got so good at improv dialogue she could write it.

@megamoviez6 жыл бұрын
Foreigner To me improv only works depending on how the original line was. For example when Han Solo says "I Know" that was improv and worked so well. Also in Jaws "You're gonna need a bigger boat" was all improv. If you read the original scripts to both films the lines were much more lame than what was actually said.
@tatehildyard53326 жыл бұрын
Master I think it depends on how good your actors are and how good you are as a writer director. In my experience in film school, a lot of writer/directors become too protective of their words to realize when something just isn't working. Sometimes the lines work on paper but just don't work on set or they just don't jive with your actors. In that case, a little improv is a lifesaver. It's really big now with comedies because the improv scene is where a lot of our big screen comedians and writers are being discovered these days.
@HermanFalckHow6 жыл бұрын
Can't stand movie improv. Some do it well, most do not. Writers sit with that script for months perfecting that dialogue. The actor is 99/100 times not going to find something better in the moment. It is an excuse for bad actors to not learning their lines. It is lazy and should not be encouraged.

She comes up through Mumblecore, both acting and writing, a genre with a unique approach to script, and defined by its reliance on improv … then marries indy filmmaker Noah Baumbach who never veers from what's written on the page… and today Greta Gerwig never veers from what's written on the page. All very sad, another woman who gave up what could have been her voice for that of her husband's.
@hd-xc2lz6 жыл бұрын
Yep, people change. But evolved? More like did a 180. Please take the time to listen to the dialogue in a Baumbach film pre-Gerwig, think you'll find same high degree of twee-ness, same rhythms, same types of laughs that show up in Greta's writing today. SO very different from her mumblecore writing. This is something that happens more often than not with couples in the same creative field, AND not the sort of thing such couples ever admit to publicly.

I'm in a creative field myself, see it often. Such couples IN GENERAL don't admit dom/sub status publicly, but often comes out in the instance of break-ups/divorce, and far more likely it's the female member who subordinates herself.... and resents herself and partner for it.

I agree with everything you've said except for the conclusion that it's sad. Maybe she needs to go through this phase of her filmmaking to progress to something else, and if she does, maybe she'll have outgrown her husband. I'm not in a creative field, but I don't think we should be afraid of imitation.
@hd-xc2lz6 жыл бұрын
@Ben Agree 100% with gist of your comment, particularly the usefulness of close imitation. But it has to be a ladder once climbed one kicks out from beneath oneself, and when you're married to that "ladder" seems the kicking is loads more difficult. Nevertheless, hope you're right and I'm very wrong about her being stuck.
