Matty Dalrymple talks with Jennifer Hilt and Ran Walker about WHAT WRITERS CAN LEARN FROM "THE FULL MONTY," including the idea of characters' external wants versus internal needs; the use of tropes such as found family, ticking time bombs, and ugly duckling progressions; and how the film uses one element to convey multiple messages. We discuss how the movie explores themes of masculinity, self-image, and societal expectations, and reflect on what makes the movie universally appealing and emotionally impactful so that writers can apply those techniques to their own work.
