Screenwriting 101: Simon Kinberg

“In my experience, audiences go to movies to feel. When the movie starts to break down and it becomes too mechanical or organized, instead of organic, audiences detach from the film. Inversely, when the story isn’t totally functional, but the characters are doing honest, true things that audiences can really feel, they are often willing to forgive a certain amount of illogic or plot holes.”
