Daily Dialogue — August 20, 2013

“You’re a liar! Makin’ two kids run around to do the work ‘coz you’re too scared to do it yourself! Makin’ me tell her it’s over ‘coz you’re too scared! You said you loved her and you lied! You gave up on her and she gave up on you. Just like everybody else. I trusted you. Bonfires and crosses and wolf’s eye… bull shit! Every single thing you told me was a lie! You never cared about her and you never cared about us. Not enough to matter. You used us. You made me a thief!”

— Mud (2012), written by Jeff Nichols

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is overcome with emotion suggested by Sabina. Today’s suggestion by Despina.

Trivia: Writer/director Jeff Nichols came up with the concept for the film in the 1990s.

Dialogue On Dialogue: The betrayal of trust is one of the single biggest reasons for a character to be overcome with emotion, especially as in this case a young boy, a rough transition from innocence to experience.
