Daily Dialogue theme next week: Eulogy

Join the Daily Dialogue crew: 3,586 consecutive days and counting.

The Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Eulogy.

Speaking well or ill of the dead… summing up a human life… and doing so whether sombre, bitter, angry, or funny requires a deft touch.

So, this week, we consider notable eulogies in movies to see what we can learn from screenwriters in the past.

Your suggestions wanted!

What to do:

• Copy/paste dialogue from IMDb Quotes or some other transcript source.
• Copy/paste the URL of an accompanying video from YouTube or some other video source.
• Any trivia about the movie which you think would be of interest to readers, we always welcome that.

I’d also ask you to think about why the dialogue is notable. Is there anything about the dialogue which provides some takeaway related to the craft of writing? If so, feel free to share your Dialogue On Dialogue.

Consecutive days of Daily Dialogue posts: 3,586.
