Bøker av Robbie Moffat

The key to writing a great story is solid characterisation and dialogue that sizzles rather than carrying the plot. This is a skill that comes from practise which is evident in the first of the three volumes of the screenplays that Robbie Moffat has written and made into feature films. They give an insight into how a screenplay is written and how a film-maker interprets the word on the page. For anyone who is a budding screenwriter, this volume covers many different genres and give a valuable insight into how to write a script that is makeable. This first volume of Selected Screenplays covers the ten feature films that Robbie Moffat wrote and made in the period 1999 to 2006. The book offers an invaluable insight into the world of screenwriting by one of Britain's most prolific film-makers.

Louis met Christine at a party and fell in love. He had always fancied himself as a writer, but from the moment he starts hanging out with Christine, he discovers she is a genius of invention and imagination.

A wealthy young businessman temporarily penniless after leaving his credit cards and his briefcase in his towed-away car, becomes dependent on a young homeless girl.

This story is about faith, ignorance, denial and revenge. In parts it is about unity, common purpose, and triumphalism. However, it is also about sadistic nature, power gone wrong, and retribution. For this kind of story is for an audience obsessed with religious wrong-doing, its hypocrisy and its secrets. If there is a moral, then it must be that the reader following the actions of our heroine understand why she is compelled to commit the same acts that have been perpetrated on her. Only after such deeds are done, when the meaning of compassion is fully understood, can our heroine change the course of her life and of those that she leads.

The Loving Few takes up where the story left us in The Loving and The Loving Child, in a gone-world of yesteryear, when there was war and plague everywhere, and relationships were cut-short by death, illness and madness.
