Discussion Board #2: One of the strengths of McKay/Lewis/Randolph's screenplay is that the people and everything they do are believable, albeit not usually likable. The script is about real people and real events that actually did unfold (over a much longer amount of time) like something out of fiction.  There is no effort made to paint most of the characters as heroes, they are almost all villains, just some "less awful" than others.  That said, the script keeps us rooting for many of them.

Another big achievement was how complicated a story they had to tell.  Some screenplays can be very effective in their simplicity (think John Wick.) Others, have to walk the line of being complex but not so much so that they lose the audience.

On the discussion board, post a scene (does not have to be in script format, can just be described,) and tell your fellow classmates how you would cinematically explain a particular _________.  It can be something you know about that is incredibly complicated and you think most audience members would have trouble grasping it like and even or occurrence. Or, it can even be a skill that you would have to really demonstrate to people.  How creative can you get?  Posts should be at least 300 words and you need 
to comment on at least two other posts with 100 words each, for full credit.  And don't use, 'I'd cut to Margot Robbie in a bathtub', it's been done!
