Lajos Egri examines a play from the inside out, starting with the heart of any drama: its characters. For it is people - their private natures and their inter-relationships - that move a story and give it life. All good dramatic writing depends upon an understanding of human motives. Why do people act as they do? What forces transform a coward into a hero, a hero into a coward? What is it that Romeo does early in Shakespeare's play that makes his later suicide seem inevitable? Why must Nora leave her husband at the end of A Doll's House? These are a few of the fascinating problems which Egri analyzes. He shows how it is essential for the author to have a basic premise - a thesis, demonstrated in terms of human behaviour - and to develop his dramatic conflict on the basis of that behaviour. Premise, character, conflict: this is Egri's ABC. His book is a direct, jargon-free approach to the problem of achieving truth in a literary creation.

大卫·波德维尔在《好莱坞的叙事方法》中描述过这本书: “为什么好莱坞的编剧们要如此详尽地叙述有缺点的人物?可能是威廉·英奇、帕迪·查耶夫斯基、田纳西·威廉斯的百老汇戏剧,与通俗小说和欧洲艺术电影一起将好莱坞领上了这条道路。两位欧洲戏剧理论家也对此起到了引导...
评分 评分昨天闲暇,我翻开了芦苇推荐的这本书,结果一气全部读完,心中酣畅之情至今难以平息。浏览豆瓣上的评论,看到其中一篇标题是“把书读厚再读薄”,这本书的确当得起这个评价。芦苇称之为编剧案头工具书,而它又是喜剧爱好者的欣赏手册,更包含了太多人生启迪。 历史上的...
评分我们有成千上万的电影及动画片,可是它们的故事类型其实只有几种。这些类型并没有规定说一定是多少个,而且有时候对类型片的归类名称也会不一样。我这里将会举出十种类型,这十种类型也不一定包含了所有的电影,但它们是最主要的大类。我现在会讲解一下这些影片类型里的中心思...
