The Daily Dialogue theme for next week: All Is Lost

This week’s topic is about a primary plot point in virtually every movie: All Is Lost. It is a major reversal of fortune for the Protagonist at the end of Act Two. It not only raises the stakes of the story, the event also does this: It compels the Protagonist to peer inside to determine if they have what it takes to go forward or go home — in effect asking the question: “Who am I?”

Let’s come up with seven great examples of All Is Lost movie moments. Join the proud DDT tradition and… thanks for your continued support!

What to do:

• Copy/paste dialogue from IMDb Quotes or some other transcript source.
• Copy/paste the URL of an accompanying video from YouTube or some other video source.
• Any trivia about the movie which you think would be of interest to readers, we always welcome that.

I’d also ask you to think about why the dialogue is notable. Is there anything about the dialogue which provides some takeaway related to the craft of writing? If so, feel free to share your Dialogue On Dialogue.
