RIP Syd Field

Well, I on the other hand DID read a couple of his books and all I can say is I wish more aspiring screenwriters would read them, the lack of respect for structure and fundamentals of storytelling that passes for 'modern' stuff these days is discouraging to say the least. But yes, at the very least he made a lot of people feel like they too could write a script, and that is always commendable.

RIP Syd.
 
I thought his emphasis on one kind of good structure was a great contribution to screenwriting (even though too many Hollywood execs and writers then used it as a writing formula rather than a useful script analysis tool).

RIP Syd :sad:
