Hi there,

I'm desperately trying to remember the name of a movie that I want to quote for a paper (unfortunately I can't remember anyone who starred in it).

What I do remember is a vivid scene where a recluse writer is discussing the necessity of writing from experience to a novice writer.

For example, he says, how can you write about being punched if you've never experienced it.

Then he punches the guy really hard in the stomach and the guy goes down like a sack of potatoes. The writer then begins to describe what he's feeling in intense literary detail.

I can only remember this scene - can anyone help with the movie title??? Pleeaaaase!?

Thx
