A truly enjoy of film in our blog

Wait a minute, not all lesbians in movies are white, rich or middle-class with no bills to pay? You mean “life” doesn’t get put on pause so that all gay people can experience the thrill of coming out at summer camp? And, there are other LGBT issues worth talking about besides marriage? Gasp! And Hallelujah for Spike Lee protégé Dee Rees’ Pariah, a film women of color (and other marginalized groups) can truly relate to. Watch Pariah Movie 2011 Online
On the surface, Pariah is a coming of age story about an African-American lesbian, Alike (pronounced “Ah-LEE-kay”) in Brooklyn. But dig deeper, and you’ll see a smart and layered tackling of gender, sexuality, religion, and even class — an essential layer of complexity needed to accurately portray the diverse experiences of queer people of color, long been absent from mainstream LGBT films. Rather than depicting homophobia as the only kind of oppression experienced by the LGBT community, Pariah’s world is a varied socio-cultural landscape in motion featuring an all-POC cast, led by Nigerian actress Adepero Oduye’s performance as 17-year old Alike. Pariah’s urban setting almost eliminates the need to discuss race at all (or, as in popular case of experiencing race through white characters, explain it). The audience is plopped, un-apologetically, right in the middle of a story filled with black characters, making way for intersectional observations about class and gender roles within the story’s cultural context.
The film opens with an unfocused, low-level street shots of baggy jeans, dangling belt chains, hard-soled shoes, and the dirty streets of Brooklyn. We hear the sound of women socializing, and then some unexpected song lyrics: All you ladies pop your p-ssy like this. We’re immediately placed in the scene of a nightclub, in front of a stripper who is somehow managing to slide up the pole, and slapped in the face by Rees’ over-the-top interpretation of coming of age as a young lesbian of color: loud club music, a hyper-sexualized social environment, a group of tomboys (“studs”, “butches”, “aggressives”) throwing money at a stripper in a bothersome (yet, admittedly, amusing) re-enactment of heterosexual masculinity, while a small voice in our heads may be wondering if we’re supposed to be down with all of this.
But just as we are beginning to question what we’re doing in the theater, we meet Alike and see that her world is upside down, too, literally. The frame is rotated upright to reveal a slender Alike, dressed awkwardly in a wide-striped, oversized polo, black do-rag, and fitted lid, staring at the pulsating pelvis of the stripper, and doing so with a confused, yet curious expression on her face. Her discomfort is made even more apparent when we meet her best friend, Laura (Pernell Walker), a huskier and much more aggressive tomboy (who claims to “get more p-ssy than yo’ daddy”), acting as Alike’s enthusiastic chaperone in this bizarre rite of passage. Clad in a dressed in a red lid and popped-collar track jacket, Laura embodies masculinity more confidently; after she finally gives up trying to get Alike to talk to “get that punani”, she proceeds to grind with a heteronormatively feminine (“high femme”) black lesbian in a gender-polarized mating dance.
For her part, as Alike heads home on the bus alone, we see her vulnerability exposed under fluorescent lights: she begins to slowly strip herself of the masculine lesbian identity she’s hiding from her family. She pulls back the lid and do-rag to put her natural hair (twisties) in a ponytail, takes off the over-sized polo to reveal a fitted tank top hidden underneath, and finally, puts a pair of earrings back in a heart-breaking act of gender conformity.
Despite the nuanced depiction of gender and class, Pariah doesn’t hit us over the head with analysis: the characters don’t explain why they each dress differently (urban streetwear to preppy to chic, and more), why they are of different financial circumstances, or why their accents are different; they just are. Alike, for instance, is evidently a “softer” tomboy as described by some girls at her high school. She’s also an aspiring writer, and (most likely due to the part of the city in which she was raised) has very different diction from Laura, whose vernacular is filled with slang, curse words, and the N-word as a term of endearment. In turn, Laura’s friends behave in a manner that’s very similar to cisgendered masculinity: they wear all men’s clothing, drink beer, play poker, and (of course) have beautiful girls sit on their laps as trophies. Yes, lesbians can be sexist too, but Dee Rees’ thoughtful character development steers the screenplay away from the danger of telling a single story.
In the past, the dominant movie narrative that existed for lesbians on screen presented, for many, depicted an unrealistic social context: all lesbians are white and heteronormatively feminine (AKA “lipstick lesbians” like Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly in Bound), they have sex by making a performance of moaning the same way the women in straight porno films do (too many to name, but the most annoying sex scene for me comes from indie flick Chloe — an extended makeout session, really?). Meanwhile, no one seems to have any money problems as they can throw huge weddings they don’t even show up to (Imagine Me and You, the infamous L Word non-wedding) and 2-dimensional side characters with no real lives of their own, exist simply to react (whether negatively or positively) to the “lesbian” issue (a la the saintly and unfortunate husband archetype in The Hours).
In many of these films, homophobia (besides the expected relationship drama) was often presented as the singular obstacle to the main characters’ happiness. Thus, the combination of the aforementioned archetypal elements and the perpetuation of single-issue hurdles for LGBT characters, for me, wove together a series of feel-good lezzie flicks that all said the same thing: “Please leave these two pretty and privileged white girls who just want to fall in love and live happily ever after in their color-blind world (which, by the way, contains no people of color) alone, okay?” Considering what the film industry was like even just a decade ago, most people would concede that in the face of Hollywood’s focus on hegemonic straight relationships, movies that featured gay or lesbian characters at all were pushing the envelope. Indeed, many of us queer women were thrilled when The L Word came out. After all, it was on Showtime — widely accessible to our straight friends, who we eagerly organized viewing parties with so we could watch them experience what our lives as lesbians were like, sort of.
We didn’t all wear high heels and runway dresses; the lesbians at the clubs I went to certainly didn’t sport that level of Hollywood glam. Many of us were puzzled by the main characters’ financial means to spend lavish amounts of money eating out at fancy restaurants, throwing parties in LA mansions, and getting married, but we tuned in every week to follow the lives of a group of rich white feminine lesbians, because there weren’t any other alternatives, and sitting through a film with gay characters was a sure way to test a reaction from your friends before you came out. The false sense of reality gave us hope that if we were to come out to our friends, decided to live our lives openly as gay people, life would remain relatively normal. We’d have girlfriends, get married (that’s what all gay people want to do, right?), adopt children, experience the occasional awkward family dinner, but ultimately, live happily ever after.
This is what sets Pariah apart from (white) singular-narrative LGBT films; it debunks the myth that life begins and ends between the point of self-acceptance, and a wedding. The movie’s skillful orchestration of empathic story-telling and strong performances enables us to move beyond the scope of Gay and Lesbian 101 to tackle other kinds of oppression, including the further marginalization of LGBT people of color. Alike’s family lives comfortably, allowing her to spend most of her time socializing and pursuing her interest in the arts. But Laura, who is the same age as Alike, was forced to drop out of high school when her mother kicked her out, and works overtime to help her sister (who she lives with) pay the bills while studying for her GED. Through Laura’s narrative, the audience is given a glimpse into the experience of many LGBT youths, who are forced to seek refuge and community outside of their families, who risk being homeless for being themselves, yet, must keep on.
It’s a sad observation, but then again isn’t it high time that gay films which grab major distributor attention do more than just perpetuate extremely tragic or fairytale conclusions to a now-engaged and curious public, and present LGBT stories in all their diverse manifestations, which does include the narratives of people of color, working class people, homeless youth, and sometimes, people who are all of the above? It’s not wonder that Pariah — along with peer releases Circumstance and Gunhill Road — has received critical acclaim for its much-needed exploration of LGBT people of color living life at the intersection of many types of oppression.

But don’t get it twisted. Pariah is definitely not a sob story. In fact, the movie is filled with timely and endearing moments of humor and awkwardness that make the hold-no-punches backdrop easier to swallow; the familiar sibling banter that ensues when Alike’s younger (and brattier) sister threatens to tell on her for having a “gross” flesh-colored dildo, a cringe-ful dinner table scene during which her parents describe how they “hung out on prom night”, and Alike’s frequent and ill-timed giggles spells whenever she’s around the girl she likes. The film’s strong undercurrent of family and relationships guarantees that there is something in it for everyone (no need to fear the discomfort of watching a lesbian sex scene with your parents either — she keeps it PG). Dee Rees has created a motion picture that the larger LGBT community can be proud of, and in which people of color can see themselves carefully and sensitively projected. She may be the black lesbian Tyler Perry (in a good way). Let’s hope we see more of her.

Take Shelter, writer-director Jeff Nichols explained to the audience that he was attempting to tap into an emotion of dread and anxiety. For the first act of his movie, he’s wildly successful at capturing that feeling. Vivid, nightmarish dream sequences set the film up as a paranoid thriller. But then Nichols hits the breaks, stops the dreams, and the tension slowly leaves the picture as it moves at a glacial pace. While he’s able to eventually pick it back up at the end and come to an interesting conclusion, he is never able to reconnect with his audience.
Take Shelter opens with Curtis (Michael Shannon) having a vision of a storm. Thick, viscous rain falls from the sky and thunder shakes the landscape. The vision passes and Curtis goes back to his normal life as a family man with loving wife Sam (Jessica Chastain) and daughter Hannah (Tova Stewart). But then Curtis tarts to have nightmares. The nightmares always begin with a storm and end with Curtis waking up in pain and paranoia. He believes that his nightmares are premonitions of an apocalypse and so he takes to expanding the storm shelter in his backyard. Desperate to protect his family, Curtis has only two dark options: either he’s wrong and he’s starting to show signs of schizophrenia like his mother (Kathy Baker) or it’s the end of the world.
When we see Curtis’ dreams, the film slaps us awake and Nichols is able to create the sense of dread he wants to achieve. He not only brings in the surreal aspects of the dream to affect Curtis’ waking life, but during Curtis’ waking hours, Nichols skillfully weaves in real fears about the economy and health care that all middle-class families are facing right now. Curtis has a good job working construction and his company’s health care plan can pay for his deaf daughter to get a cochlear implant. But as his fear of a cataclysmic event deepens, his attention to his daily life, along with his sanity, begins to unravel. Watch Take Shelter Movie Online
I applaud Nichols for trying to tie in legitimate wide-spread fears with Curtis’ fear of the storm. Adam Stone’s cinematography is gorgeous and full of stark colors and contrast. However, when the film hits the second act, Nichols’ drops the dreams and slows the pacing to a crawl. The only intensity to permeate the scenes is Shannon’s eternal grimace. I’m a big fan of Shannon, but Nichols over-indulges his lead actor and lets him pause for what seems like five minutes before every line of dialogue. Without giving too much away, Nichols is able to get the movie back on track in the last twenty minutes by finally pushing Curtis and Sam’s relationship to a turning point. But by then the damage is done and we’ve been dragged along too slowly to feel invested in the characters despite the strong visuals and performances.

Take Shelter is almost a brilliant paranoid thriller that slyly taps into contemporary dread. The story just takes too long to get to where it needs to be. I understand Nichols wants to hold tension by keeping scenes quiet and sparse. He’s got a great eye for visuals and his lead actors do solid work. What’s most frustrating about Take Shelter is that there’s a dull, slow-paced drama sandwiched between an intense, paranoid thriller

The new screenwriter is confronted by so many guidelines about how precisely to structure as well as write a screenplay. They may be provided guidelines on how to sell that screenplay, as well as come up with an interesting concept that could interest the likes of Hollywood.
But getting very clear, concise guidance how to write a single, unique scene in a screenplay.
Listed here are some sensible ideas I’ve garnered from churning out five full-length screenplays about how exactly to write a scene that is definitely lively, fascinating and also moves your screenplay toward being marketed. (And most importantly boost your learning how to write a movie script.)
Find Out Who Wants Exactly what and Why
Right before you type in “fade in” and begin writing, it’s vital that you know who the scene is related to. This is simply not always your primary character. How can you find this out? Usually it’s who has the most desire, the the majority to lose, and who is powering the direction of the scene. (I love to imagine who has the scarier look in their eye.)
As soon as you’ve got that-find out who or just what exactly opposes the character w/ the the majority to lose. May be the villain, could possibly be a hurricane, may be mutant puppies, is likely to be themselves. Setting up this confrontation will not just help you keep on the right track, but make for a much more appealing scene. This is essential when starting and learning how to write a movie script.
Get the Emotional Conditions of the Scene..and Then Turn on
It could seem new-agey, but actually it’s nothing more than making certain you don’t conclude the scene the very same way you begin it. Simply because that is definitely…boring. Say your character is feeling good, is completely happy and in love. And we have a scene where they conclude it feeling good, glad and in love.
Absolutely nothing has happened. But if we conclude on her finding lipstick on his collar then something has happened. And people are curious. Do this by simply writing down the scene begins and ends w/a smiley face/sad face or perhaps whatever you wish for. Do this for most of your scenes and you can notice the emotional trajectory of your story.
Get writing
As soon as you’ve got your stakes, as well as your emotional core get writing. As soon as possible. It’s ok to riff right here since you’ve got a basic structure to follow.
You’ll undergo several drafts, but that’s fine. Just simply get it down and continue going, and before you realize it, you’ll have a completed screenplay.
And the most vital thing when learning how to write a movie script scene, is to have in is a completed screenplay that you could take along with you and mail out to agencies and directors. Best of luck with your writing goals.
