Screenwriting - Telling The Truth

Our larger than life characters who tell the truth in every situation generally have conflict attracted to them. Why?  Because most people don't like hearing the 100% complete truth.  We fear these people in real life and yet we honor them on the screen.  When we are completely honest with the characters we create they will define how large they become in our movie.

Truth is the secret of eloquence and of virtue, the basis of moral authority; it is the highest summit of art and of life.

-- Henri Frederic Amiel
