In The Full Monty , a truly marvelous film, but talk about writing Yiddish, casting British and striping off clothes. This is a story about six unemployed Sheffield steelworkers who want to become Chippendale dancers. Screenwriter Simon Beaufoy pointedly nailed their relationship with pathos. There is no dragged out rhetoric about love, marriage and the honor in shaking your booty. Dave is fat and scared and God forbid this should happen to you if you go exposing your schmecke as an expression of love.
Most scripts suffer because either everybody talks too much or they're boring as hell.
Probably one of the best scenes utilizing the Two Jews Fighting technique is in Silence of the Lambs . Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling an FBI trainee is confronting Anthony Hopkins, the brilliantly wicked, cannibalistic serial killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Both characters are coming from different places, scene goes on for six pages. But Clarice can stand her own against Lecter who is a force to be reckoned with. All those tedious, sticky fumblings, in the back seats of cars, while you could only dream of getting out.
