Today on Talking Movies with My Mom, we pay tribute to the unsung heroes of cinema: the screenwriters. Specifically, we’re talking about two of our favorite screenplays — "Wind River" by Taylor Sheridan and “Fight Club” by Jim Uhls. With the scripts in hand, we delve into how both dialogue and direction create emotional impact, the intricacies of adapting a book to screen, and Calvin and Hobbes theories.
