"Go, Go, Go!" Movie Supercut Highlights The Cliche
Supercuts are one of the best ways to make audiences aware of cliches in film and television, and I know that if I was writing screenplays, I'd definitely go out of my way to avoid dialogue I've seen pop up in a well-edited supercut. The latest example of this is "Go, go, go!", and as you can see in this supercut from SupercutOnline, there are tons of movies in which characters say those words specifically in that manner. Hearing so many people say that word three times in a row makes me appreciate an actor (or writer) who either subtracts or adds an extra "go" just to be a little different.
Every time I see a supercut like this and then I see that particular thing happen in a movie, it totally takes me out of the film and all I can think about is the supercut. I understand that sometimes cliches are necessary, but hopefully professional writers will watch videos like these and think twice about putting those cliches in their next screenplay.
