Robert McKee Quotes

The Famous Axiom "Show, Don't Tell" Is The Key. Never Force Words Into A Character's Mouth To Tell The Audience About World, History, Or Person. Rather, Show Us Honest, Natural Scenes In Which Human Beings Talk And Behave In Honest, Natural Ways...yet At The Same Time Indirectly Pass Along The Necessary Facts. In Other Words, Dramatize Exposition. Dramatized Exposition Serves Two Ends: Its Primary Purpose Is To Further The Immediate Conflict. Its Secondary Purpose Is To Convey Information. The Anxious Novice Reverses That Order, Putting Expositional Duty Ahead Of Dramatic Necessity.
