Woe Scene Mortals

More From Walter Scott

Song in the manner of housman" o woe, woe, people are born and die, we also shall be dead pretty soon therefore let us act as if we were dead already. the bird sits on the hawthorn tree but he dies also, presently. some lads get hung, and some get shot. woeful is this human lot. woe! woe, etcetera.... london is a woeful place, shropshire is much pleasanter. then let us smile a little space upon fond nature's morbid grace. oh, woe, woe, woe, etcetera.
Song Space People
Woe to him whom this world charms from gospel duty. woe to him who seeks to pour oil upon the waters when god has brewed them into a gale. woe to him who seeks to please rather than to appal. woe to him whose good name is more to him than goodness. woe to him who, in this world, courts not dishonor! woe to him who would not be true, even though to be false were salvation. yea, woe to him who, as the great pilot paul has it, while preaching to others is himself a castaway.

But yet, but yet, woe, woe unto those who think that the beat generation means crime, delinquency, immorality, amorality ... woe unto those who attack it on the grounds that they simply don't understand history and the yearning of human souls ... woe in fact unto those who make evil movies about the beat generation where innocent housewives are raped by beatniks! ... woe unto those who spit on the beat generation, the wind'll blow it back.

What i don't like is when i see stuff that i know has had a lot of improv done or is playing around where there's no purpose to the scene other than to just be funny. what you don't want is funny scene, funny scene, funny scene, and now here's the epiphany scene and then the movie's over.
Purpose Done Want
What is a scene? a) a scene starts and ends in one place at one time (the aristotelian unities of time and place-this stuff goes waaaayyyy back). b) a scene starts in one place emotionally and ends in another place emotionally. starts angry, ends embarrassed. starts lovestruck, ends disgusted. c) something happens in a scene, whereby the character cannot go back to the way things were before. make sure to finish a scene before you go on to the next. make something happen.
Character Unity Goes On
I love actors and i understand what has to happen within a scene. any scene is an acting scene and actors never act alone, so there has to be an interchange. if it's a dialog scene, if it's a love scene, it doesn't matter because you need to establish a situation.

By the way, everybody approaches acting differently. like, i'm kind of sloppy and i like it kind of loose. i like to kind of play around. some people don't.

I think acting is something that is within you. it's a very natural thing for me. it comes from myself, really.
Thinking Acting Natural
In a movie, you need good actors, whereas in a book, you don't, unless you have a really bad imagination. in a book, your imagination will do the acting for you. also, the process of revelation is often different. tension is achieved in a different way.
