F. Scott Fitzgerald/Last Call/Jeremy Irons, Neve Campbell,

"Your writing stinks." "If you want to write, you have to act like one" (take criticism: specific, never generalized! )  Frances is 23 YO (his daughter's age) and he was 44+ YO ) https://youtu.be/6wadSCuKxwY?si=VXYcR80TqK2Xynei? 

 

 

Thank you. ( laughs ) Frances, I read your story last night.
It stinks.
I'm sorry, Francoise, but... it does.
What's taking them so long?
What do you mean, it stinks? The characters, they're flat and unbelievable.
And the dialogue is stilted and artificial, and the plot, which I guess is supposed to be
some kind of Chekhovian slice of life, is trite and... predictable.
Where are you going? Home. You're just gonna leave me here? - Take a cab. - Frances.
Frances, come here. Look, if you really want to be a writer, you have to get used to being treated like one.
Come on. Everyone's staring at you.
Look, I think your story doesn't work because you're just borrowing everything,
from other books, other writers.
I don't hear any Frances in there, except once or twice in little hints.
Little hints? Yes. The line...
"She believed in herself because she had no choice." That's good.
And the way Mary can't explain why she fights with her mother all the time, that rings true.
That's good. That's it?
Yeah, that's it... in my opinion.
- Here you go. - Oh. One ice water. Thanks. And one martini.
- ( clears throat ) - Thank you. I'll be back for your order in a few minutes, sir. We had a good day today, Francoise.
It was a very good day. Come on.
( taps glasses )
Oh, that's good. That's really excellent.
( music playing on car radio ) You didn't think I could do it, did you?
What? Just that one drink.
One martini. Doubting Frances.
Frankly, no, I didn't think you could do it. But you're still mad at me
for criticizing your story. It's not a question of being mad, it's a question of being hurt.
I can't believe I have to explain that to you. I told you, if you want to be a writer, get used to it. You didn't have to be so brutal.
You just wait till the "New York Times Book Review" calls a novel you've spent 10 years writing
"flaccid and predictable."
They did that? Uh-huh. "Tender Is the Night."
Frances, rewrite your story. Start all over.
Only this time, write the dialogue with your ear, not your brain.
And try writing description that's simpler, based more on verbs than nouns and adjectives.
And when you use adjectives, make sure they're very, very specific.
Never generalize... he says, generalizing.
And make sure that you know what Mary and her mother are feeling inside,
what they want. That way, you'll learn who they really are.
Rewrite your story, Frances.
This song was popular when Zelda and I were your age. We used to love to go dancing to music like this.
Moonlight and champagne music.
Slipper music. Beautiful woman, slender ankles,
sliding into her silver slipper music.
Scott, tell me about Zelda.
I met her at a dance when I was 21.
She was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. When she looked at me,

Neve Adrianne Campbell (/?n?v/; born October 3, 1973[1]) is a Canadian actress. After working in Canadian and American television, Campbell emerged as a scream queen for her starring roles in horror and thriller films. She has also appeared in blockbusters and independent features.

Following a series of minor credits, Campbell had a starring role in the drama series Catwalk (1992–1993) and the television film The Canterville Ghost (1996). She subsequently relocated to the United States to star as Julia Salinger in the Fox teen drama series Party of Five (1994–2000), which became her breakthrough role. She rose to international prominence for her leading role as Sidney Prescott in Wes Craven's slasher film Scream (1996), which spawned the Scream franchise, in which she reprised her role in each film except the sixth. She also headlined the horror film The Craft (1996), the thriller film Wild Things (1998), and the drama film Panic (2000).

Campbell starred in, produced, and wrote the story for Robert Altman's drama film The Company (2003). After a hiatus, she returned to television with a recurring role on the drama series Medium (2007) and starring roles on the action series The Philanthropist (2009) and the miniseries Titanic: Blood and Steel (2012). She has since appeared in the action film Skyscraper (2018) and the drama film Clouds (2020), and played starring roles on the political thriller series House of Cards (2016–2017) and the crime drama series The Lincoln Lawyer (2022–present).

Early life and education

Campbell was born in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, on October 3, 1973. Campbell's Dutch mother, Marnie (née Neve), is a yoga instructor and psychologist from Amsterdam.[2] She descends from Sephardic Jews who immigrated to the Netherlands and converted to Catholicism.[3] Her Scottish father, Gerry Campbell, immigrated to Canada from Glasgow, Scotland,[4] and taught high school drama classes at Lorne Park Secondary School in Mississauga, Ontario. Campbell's maternal grandparents ran a theatre company in the Netherlands, and her paternal grandparents were also performers. Campbell has an older brother, Christian Campbell, and two younger half-brothers, Alex Campbell and Damian McDonald. Her parents divorced when she was two.

At age six, she saw a performance of The Nutcracker and decided she wanted to take ballet classes, enrolling at the Erinvale School of Dance. She later moved into residence at the National Ballet School of Canada, training there and appearing in performances of The Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty.[4] After accumulating numerous dance-related injuries,[5] she retired from ballet and took up acting at age 15, performing in The Phantom of the Opera at the Canon Theatre in Toronto while attending John F. Ross Collegiate Vocational Institute in Guelph,[6] where she trained in acting and worked in theatre. One of her classmates was actress Tara Strong.[7]
