BLOG # 5

What a fantastic reading. I like the way Sex, Lies, and Videotape's visual imagery and subtext descriptions. One particular scene where Graham had a dinner with John and Ann at their home and John said "Call the cops" and so on the description comes to my mind that this Graham character is not like John but a bum or hippe. Now Mckee's method to analyze and dissect is simply whereas we can summarize and come to conclusion while Weston's approach to over-analyze on "what if" and "how" on possibly what's going on between John, Ann, and Graham is endless possibilities between those characters is way too much.

I suppose there's faults on John's for his failed marriage due to his asking Ann to take Graham on apartment hunting and thus give him space and time to have sex with Cynthia. In the end, it's faults that binds the story otherwise without the complexity the less the story is.

1. How one applies to McKee on setups and payoffs for Sex, Lies and Videotape?

2. Anyone see Sex, Lies, and Videotape movie? What do you think? Is it any different from the script? I haven't seen the movie yet.
