缺乏寫作靈感 2

[At a seminar, Charlie Kaufman has asked McKee for advice on his new screenplay in which ‘nothing much happens’.]
   
Robert McKee: Nothing happens in the world? Are you out of your mind? People are murdered every day. There’s genocide, war, corruption. Every day, somewhere in the world, somebody sacrifices his life to save someone else. Every day, someone, somewhere makes a conscious decision to destroy someone else. People find love, people lose it. For Christ’s sake, a child watches her mother beaten to death on the steps of a church. Someone goes hungry. Somebody else betrays his best friend for a woman. If you can’t find that stuff in life, then you, my friend, don’t know crap about life. And why are you wasting my two precious hours with your movie? I don’t have any use for it. I don’t have any bloody use for it.
   
Charlie Kaufman: Ok, thank you.
