| Hawksian dialogue: fast-paced, overlapping, staccato. The epitome of what we might consider "1930s" or "screwball" type dialogue, as in the classic His Girl Friday.
Hawksian woman: says things like this: Hawksian formula: throw a bunch of people together in what ought to be a high-stress situation, but they're all competent professionals (even the one lady!) so they just end up flirting and razzing each other. Hawksian wavelength: once you get on it, you never want to leave. Maybe start with Bringing Up Baby (1938) and just go through his whole filmography from there? |

I watched the original last night (1951) by 10/22/2024, 11:37am PDT  I liked the Hawksian dialogue and the Hawksian woman. by 10/22/2024, 11:48am PDT I should clarify my terms. by 10/22/2024, 12:13pm PDT Thank you. I didn't know anything about "Hawksian" anything. by 10/22/2024, 12:18pm PDT The Thing isn't the greatest example. by 10/22/2024, 12:41pm PDT Thank you for this. I had no idea this was a thing. NT by 10/22/2024, 1:18pm PDT I sensed a definitely rhythm to the dialogue, the overlapping, ratatat style. by 10/22/2024, 3:45pm PDT |
