The Maximalism of Screenwriting

The new mayor said that when they were taught screenwriting, one of the like tenant rules quote unquote was to write an emotional scale on every scene. The note I kept getting was it's steroids. It's a movie on steroids, which I was like, okay, I guess I have to tone that down. And it was inspiring to hear them say like, we intentionally set out to make this a 10 in every scene. So yeah, Jamie, have you heard anything like that before?
