Daily Dialogue theme next week: Failure

Join the Daily Dialogue team: 3,145 consecutive days and counting.

The Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Failure, suggested by Melinda Mahaffey and Will King.

This should be a cinch. Most All Is Lost / end of Act Two plot points involve key characters having failed to achieve some goal. Entire movies have fear of failure as central or important themes. Plus myriad other scenes which feature characters failing… flailing… or both.

7 memorable movie moments featuring failure. Let’s explore the variety of ways characters respond to failure in this last Daily Dialogue series of 2016.

The usual drill:

• 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.

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 lay that wisdom on us.

Consecutive days of Daily Dialogue posts: 3,145.
