Welcome Message
Hello!
Welcome to Moviepoetics.com, a site where I hope t0 discuss filmmaking especially from the point of view of storytelling and narrative structure. I would like to state up front that while guests can post whatever opinions they like, I am not in the business of offering my "opinions" of films. Whether I like a film or not is irrelevant and being a filmmaker I would prefer not to come down negatively (or positively for that matter) on known works for fear of reprisal. Rather I intend to look at the narrative mechanisms behind various films and try and ascertain two things: 1. Why the filmmakers structured their story the way they did, and 2. What effect did it have on the audience.
Thanks,
Michael Tierno
