Well Written As Usual & Also Commercial,
By carol irvin "carol irvin" (United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Hannah and Her Sisters (Paperback)
If you want to read a screenplay written by someone who really knows how to write one, Woody Allen is your writer. I've read many of his and they are all superb. The huge difference with this one is that this is his most commercially successful film. Thus, you are reading both a high level of creative screenwriting talent coupled with commercial audience know-how. This is a very unusual combination in show business. His other published screenplays are every bit as good as this one but they have never found as large an audience when made into film. I've read screenplays by other writers too and one huge difference in Allen's is that he records everything in it. If a character stammers, you get every nuance of the stammer. Allen leaves absolutely nothing out. If you've never read a screenplay but only read novels instead, I'm not sure how you'll like the experience. I love film so reading the screenplay is another way of experiencing something I already love in another creative format. I've read that most of the major literary awards have been criticized for not including screenplays in their categories. It is usually Allen's work that they want included in the prizes. Allen usually is nominated for an Oscar for his writing by his peers though even if he is shut out of every other category by the many who turned against him in the USA because of his personal life. Finally, if you decide that you may want to try writing a screenplay, you must start reading them. Any screenplay by Woody Allen is an excellent place to start.
