Hidden meaning. Creating a cinema subtext

Everything is not as simple as it seems. This applies to both life and art, especially when it comes to cinema: after all, in scenarios, all the more outstanding, except for the text, there are always subtext. Linda Seger, a brilliant cinema expert and an authoritative scenario guru, took part in the development of more than two thousand films and advised specialists around the world. The uniqueness of her book is that, although we all intuitively understand what the subtext is, no one before Linda Seger was systematically describing it. To solve subtext means understanding the hidden motives and intentions of the heroes, to learn how to read the language of copyright metaphors and statements. The author briefly, clearly and with many examples from films teaches to find subtext in allegories, omissions, analogies, facial expressions and gestures of characters, intonations, pauses and even in scenario genres. This is the first step to understanding something important not only in the script, book or cinema, but also in yourself. For many, the work of Linda Seger has become not only professional guidance, but also a real life textbook
