Hollywood beckons for recent film school grad Nick Chapman, who is out to capitalize on the momentum from his national award-winning student film. Studio executive Allen Habel seduces Nick with a dream deal to make his first feature, but once production gets rolling, corporate reality begins to intervene: Nick is unable to control a series of compromises to his high-minded vision, and it's all he can do to maintain his integrity in the midst of filmmaking chaos.
The Big Picture is a Comedy, Romance, Drama film released in 1989.

Movie Dialogue Sample
between two women work.
374
00:32:58,276 --> 00:32:59,538
Good.
375
00:32:59,878 --> 00:33:01,139
But...
376
00:33:02,179 --> 00:33:03,441
But what?
377
00:33:05,649 --> 00:33:09,346
But I really feel it has to be...
378
00:33:09,553 --> 00:33:12,647
...two men and one woman. I really do.
379
00:33:26,870 --> 00:33:28,201
Fine. Okay.
380
00:33:28,404 --> 00:33:32,534
It's not that your idea wouldn't work.
It's a great idea.
381
00:33:32,742 --> 00:33:35,939
- It's just, for this movie- -
- Nick? Nick!
382
00:33:36,112 --> 00:33:39,275
Nick, you can stop drilling.
You struck oil.
383
00:33:41,117 --> 00:33:44,553
Okay, great. Terrific.
384
00:33:44,888 --> 00:33:47,152
But, I do have a problem.
385
00:33:47,357 --> 00:33:48,984
What's that?
386
00:33:49,959 --> 00:33:51,824
- Snow.
- What about it?
387
00:33:51,995 --> 00:33:56,260
- It's always snowing.
- There doesn't have to always be snow.
388
00:33:56,431 --> 00:33:59,662
Not the snow. The winter.
It's depressing.
389
00:34:02,371 --> 00:34:04,066
What if...
390
00:34:04,706 --> 00:34:06,765
...it took place...
391
00:34:12,881 --> 00:34:16,647
...in the summer at the beach?
392
00:34:18,754 --> 00:34:20,085
Interesting.
393
00:34:24,759 --> 00:34:29,594
Well, it changes the whole
concept of the film.
394
00:34:31,132 --> 00:34:33,566
I don't think so. Not really.
395
00:34:33,768 --> 00:34:37,829
The interaction among the characters
remains the same.
396
00:34:38,206 --> 00:34:41,573
The only thing different
is the location.
397
00:34:46,380 --> 00:34:48,472
- Look what I found.
- Where?
398
00:34:48,648 --> 00:34:52,311
- Ln the attic.
- Didn't even know there was an attic.
399
00:34:52,519 --> 00:34:56,455
We've rented this house for 15 summers, how
come none of us knew there was an attic?
400
00:34:56,623 --> 00:34:58,955
- Isn't that weird?
- Yeah.
401
00:34:59,459 --> 00:35:01,086
Let's open it.
402
00:35:01,761 --> 00:35:04,093
Whoa, time out here.
403
00:35:04,731 --> 00:35:07,791
- Nick, how old are these people?
- Early 40s.
404
00:35:08,201 --> 00:35:09,793
Oh, boy!
405
00:35:13,139 --> 00:35:17,097
- What's wrong?
- Well, that is a bad age, Nick.
406
00:35:17,276 --> 00:35:22,304
The people who buy tickets, for better
or worse, are between the ages of- -
407
00:35:22,514 --> 00:35:24,880
Fourteen and 24.
408
00:35:25,084 --> 00:35:26,847
So?
409
00:35:27,253 --> 00:35:32,088
If kids want to see people in their
40s, they don't go to the movies.
410
00:35:32,291 --> 00:35:34,816
They go home, look at their parents.
411
00:35:35,227 --> 00:35:37,286
It's true.
412
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,380
I'm a little confused.
413
00:35:57,982 --> 00:36:01,145
No, no, you're not confused.
414
00:36:01,352 --> 00:36:03,786
It's nervous energy.
You're excited!
415
00:36:04,289 --> 00:36:05,551
Really?
416
00:36:05,890 --> 00:36:08,551
Yeah! Damn straight!
417
00:36:08,759 --> 00:36:10,920
Now...
418
00:36:11,895 --> 00:36:16,229
...I want you to get out of my office
and write me a movie!
419
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,062
Okay, great! Thanks.
420
00:36:47,063 --> 00:36:48,587
Gretchen?
421
00:36:49,198 --> 00:36:52,258
Nick Chapman.
We met at Allen Habel's party.
422
00:36:54,236 --> 00:36:56,397
Of course! Are you on the lot?
423
00:36:56,972 --> 00:36:59,941
Looks like I will be.
I just made a deal.
424
00:37:00,142 --> 00:37:05,101
- They're gonna let me write a movie.
- Congratulations! That's great.
425
00:37:05,313 --> 00:37:08,976
Thanks, I'm really,
really excited about it.
426
00:37:10,251 --> 00:37:12,242
That's a...
427
00:37:12,687 --> 00:37:17,386
I'm playing an undercover agent
in Switzerland this week.
428
00:37:20,261 --> 00:37:24,493
Want to come in my trailer
while I take off my makeup?
429
00:37:36,777 --> 00:37:41,840
You know, that's very nice,
but I should probably get going.
430
00:37:42,049 --> 00:37:44,483
Oh, that's too bad.
431
00:37:44,685 --> 00:37:46,949
Well, it was really nice
seeing you.
432
00:37:47,121 --> 00:37:49,988
Yeah, it was great to see you too.
433
00:37:50,190 --> 00:37:51,851
I'll see you around the lot.
434
00:37:52,059 --> 00:37:53,583
See you around.
435
00:37:56,195 --> 00:37:58,163
Nick?
436
00:37:59,365 --> 00:38:03,495
Would you like to come to a party
with me on Saturday night?
437
00:38:04,437 --> 00:38:06,632
You mean Saturday night?
438
00:38:07,974 --> 00:38:09,464
How about it?
439
00:38:18,117 --> 00:38:20,085
Taste this, would you?
440
00:38:21,953 --> 00:38:24,353
All right. Yeah, it's good.
441
00:38:24,523 --> 00:38:28,619
It needs something.
One of those herby things.
442
00:38:28,827 --> 00:38:32,354
- How about Saturday?
- What about Saturday?
443
00:38:32,898 --> 00:38:34,661
Are we on for bowling?
444
00:38:34,866 --> 00:38:37,460
Saturday...
I'm work
