I made a spreadsheet with detailed break downs of the plot structure of 14 iconic movies

in #writing8 years ago

The spreadsheet is way too big to view on Steemit, but you can see it on Google Docs by clicking the link below. It includes:

Inception
The Shawshank Redemption
Star Wars: A New Hope
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
The Avengers
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
American Beauty
Avatar
Snatch
Jurassic Park
Good Will Hunting
Blade Runner
Back to the Future

I posted the plot to Inception below to give you an idea of how the break downs look. The Google Doc also contains a graphical outline of which characters appear in which scene, and what teams each character is on

Why? (:

Because @thewisesloth likes these movies and wanted to analyse them? One this is for certain - I have read most of that sheet and it is a LOT of work.

My apologies, I hadn’t realized the answer was so straight forward. I’m not criticizing anything, as I am merely a creature of curious nature. I realize the amount of work that went into such a task, so it made me wonder if there was a bigger picture. Forgive me, sensei. 😂

The bigger picture is I'm using the information to reverse engineer generic formula plots from the common denominators used in these movies.... and to just generally understand story structure better.

This post is wonderful, i admire the dedication and work that goes into it. Congratulations, @thewisesloth .
