Robert McKee, an American screenwriter, one of the world's most famous and respected screenwriting teachers, author of the famous bestseller The Million Dollar Story, reveals the secrets of creating a dramatic dialogue, starting from its function, content, form and technique of speech of the characters. You will learn how, by putting words into the mouths of the characters, to make them alive, to endow them with voices that the viewer and reader will follow relentlessly, learn the art of connecting "two silent areas: the inner life of the hero and the inner life of the reader-spectator." This is a textbook-study that examines both the most effective techniques of "dialog writing" and the mistakes that await the author in the process of work, including clichés, verbosity and implausibility. If you are just beginning your literary experiments, the book will show you the way to mastery; as a professional writer, it will help take an important step towards excellence.
