Saltburn - How Emerald Fennell Made the Movie Her Way, "In All of Its Gory Detail"

Emerald Fennell's feature "Saltburn" is simply stunning.

It is her second picture, after "Killing Eve," that she has written, produced, and directed. I do not know if you saw it, but it is a must-see for me!

I'd like to share this interview with you with the aim of inspiring you on your journey. Please share your thoughts with me if you have any.

Arthur Charpentier

What is the value of a film in which a gay man kills a heterosexual family with impunity? Unlike this movie, the Talented Mr. Ripley was at least a talented person.

Sandra Isabel Correia

Thank you for your input, Arthur Charpentier . It all depends on our point of view, in my opinion. What I enjoy about it is how wonderfully it is written, produced, and directed. It's a cognitive conundrum that eventually makes us think about it! Unfortunately, there are many human minds like the killer.I appreciate your feedback.

Arthur Charpentier

Sandra Isabel Correia, Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I cannot agree with you. This movie doesn't make think about anything, because that's how our whole life is down here. This film does not give the audience any new information.

Sandra Isabel Correia

Arthur Charpentier Thank you, and it's good to have other points of view. That is very kind of you! But my purpose was to share the Emerald Fennell interview, which I found extremely interesting and from which I learned something listening her. Thanksss

Great share, Sandra Isabel Correia. I'm like Emerald Fennell. I like to finish a script before telling anyone about the idea. People like to give feedback and suggestions when you tell them an idea -- which is great -- but sometimes early feedback and suggestions can ruin a script. Now, if a writer is part of a writing team or the writer is in a writers' room, they'll probably have to talk about their idea before the script is done.

Sandra Isabel Correia

Thank you very much, Maurice Vaughan! I'm the same way. That's why I enjoyed this interview so much; she was so straightforward and natural, and I agree. I start by writing the script. After that, I present the idea as a market study to validate the concept. Yes, I suppose it differs in a writing team. I enjoyed this interview with Emerald and her approach to problem solving. She is fearless!
