“Unveiling the Hidden Gem: Could This Underrated Screenplay Redefine 2024’s Cinematic Landscape?”
Think about it. If you’ve promised the reader a treat at the end of the scene, they’ll be willing to sit with you in the meantime and hear what you have to say. The mistake many writers make is they never create the suspenseful scenario in the first place. Which means there is no treat at the end. If you then try and play around, it will feel random, purposeless, and the reader will become anxious quickly. Why would they keep reading if there’s no release?
The ‘playing around’ is really fun here. Mr. Reed goes on a long monologue about the nature of “iterations.” He uses props, explaining that Monopoly was once another board game called The Landlord’s Game. He then plays an oldie record and points out that it’s the tune that would later inspire Radiohead’s “Creep.” Iterations, he explains, is all religions are – repurposed old religions, new and improved. And Mormonism is the newest of them all.
