Top 4 Quotes & Sayings by Michael Muhney

Benjamin Franklin said it best, 'Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.'

Unfortunately, in real life, people are so incredibly quick to judge a situation before it has completely played itself out. But fortunately, in "reel" life, the audience gets an opportunity to watch things unfold, or unravel... or both in some cases.

I much prefer to watch actors and writers create "humanizing" moments for characters. In a drama, "humanizing" is far more impactful and powerful than "redeeming."

This word "redemption," what is it about this word? Is it tangible? Do you know when it has happened? Is it necessary in a drama? Does it make a character boring? Does everyone agree on a character being "redeemed?" Or is it a word that is so subjective and polarizing and insignificant in modern television? It is a word that has been given, quite possibly, far too much significance, when it is truly ambiguous and meaningless in a drama. I have personally grown to loathe that word in literature.
