Description: Complete video at: http://fora.tv/fora/showthread.php?t=687 Screenwriter Michael Arndt talks about the major themes present in his Academy Award-winning script for the film "Little Miss Sunshine." ----- In 2000, screenwriter Michael Arndt had no credits, no agents, no publishing history when he took a year off to write "a saleable script" that got him an agent and a deal and, five years after that, one of the big hits of 2006. A new book, "Little Miss Sunshine: The Shooting Script," details the fascinating behind-the-scenes story of the indie runaway hit with an introduction, afterword, and enlightening scene notes from Arndt. Starring Greg Kinnear, Toni Collette, Steve Carell, Abigail Breslin, Paul Dano, and Alan Arkin, the film strikes a nerve with everyone who's ever been awestruck by how their muddled families seem to make it after all. Michael Arndt offers a rare insider's look and considered thoughts on one of the film's most prevalent themes, success vs. failure. -- Cody's Books

alexandrandherdogs ::: Favorites One of the best films i've seen in ages... A VERY clever film. The script. the acting,the timing,the silences,the music,almost perfect.Yes it was very funny however it was also moving,and has such depth. Not one character "trod" on the other.They each had their own space and yet conveyed perfect harmony. I do have my favourites(acting wise),thats human,and they are ; the mothers brother,the son,and the little girl.I am totally impressed!
