Monkey Man: Expressionism in Action Movies

I know I'm always effusive, but you've outdone yourself with this one. So many great learnings here. Brilliant. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm glad the insights resonated with you. I poured a lot into this one and am grateful it delivered value :)

This was great, very interesting. I spent over two years working on the vfx for the film and was very close to Dev throughout the edit. There's a lot of the script that didn't make it into the film. It's a great movie we're all very proud of it.

Thank you! It means a lot to hear that the analysis rang true from someone so closely involved in bringing Monkey Man to life. As writers, we're all too familiar with the challenge of cutting material to serve the final edit. But it's a necessary part of the process to craft the strongest possible film. And congratulations again on the final film - you should be so proud!

I enjoyed Monkey Man. I liked the depths of the story, the Indian spiritual aspects that makes this movie different from one tone action films. I now learned many details I missed. I love to watch your podcasts about films in theaters, I always learn more depths I miss. Plus I feel your passion for films and TV shows and most of all teaching us screenwriting. Thank you for giving us your inspiration for screenwriting! I’m taking your screenwriting class starting soon.

Have to see Monkey Man now! Jaco is the best. He really excites the screenwriter in me. I'll be taking his class after I return fom a trip.

And thank you for the kind words; I'm honored to play a part in fueling your passion for the craft.
