So there- fore he does not pass judgment on what Mike wants to do. I like that, and the fact that he's very true to himself — and to Mike — makes him unusual." "That [Petrovsky] became a crimi- nal defense attorney was, in his fami- ly's eyes, a total betrayal of what he should have been doing," explained co-screenwriter David Levien, "but there's a lot of sacrifice involved in finding whatever it is that you're called to do." "Whether Mike's listening at that point, or doesn't get it until the end of the movie," added his screenwriting partner, Brian Koppelman, "that's for you, as a viewer, to decide. But that's the professor's way of saying, 'Follow your calling.'" The advice Professor Petrovsky offers stems in part from the screen- writers' backgrounds (both grew up as Reform Jews, Levien in Colorado and Koppelman in New York) but also from the belief that it was the time for them to leap through their own win- dow of opportunity.

"We're like brothers, really," explained Levien, "each other's closest friends, best men at weddings, the whole thing." That closeness, apparent in the way the pair often finish each other's sen- tences, turned out to be a good foun- dation for a creative collaboration. Each had worked in the entertainment industry shepherding other people's work, and felt the time was right to work exclusively on their own material. After graduating from the Universi- ty of Michigan, where his fiction appeared in the literary journal, Levien moved to Los Angeles, where he worked for various agencies and production companies as a story edi- tor. "At the same time, I was pursuing my own writing," Levien said, "and it became more difficult to come home after working on other people's mater- ial all day and bring anything to mine." So he quit and did the "cliched" bohemian writer thing and moved to Paris. From there, he got an opportu- nity to head to Argentina and train horses. The job turned out to be "a much tougher experience than the movie business." Levien headed to New York City next, where Kop- pelman, a Tufts alumnus, had.been working as a record executive for vari- ous labels. "I had a lot of success in the record business, and I love music, but I hated being an executive and being able to hold sway over artists' careers," said Kop- pelman, who execu- tive-produced Tracy Chapman's first album. Koppelman even went to Fordham Law School at night while work- ing days as "part of a search for what I wanted to do." He got his law degree, but never took the bar, and, like Levien, spent his Matt Damon: Headed down a slippery slope as law stu- free time writing. dent/"rounder" Mike McDermott.
