Save the Cat!: The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever Need by Blake Snyder

3.0

Some good insights and trickster preparing your script, some general guidelines to follow... But everyone should realize there's no one-size-fits-all model doe ANYTHING creative. Yes, you're more likely to have commercial success if there's an act break on page 25, but beyond anything else, Mr Snyder acts as though drama was invented with the talkies! He doesn't talk about a five-act structure, symphonic structure, stage direction, etc.

It's no wonder I see so many formulaic movies.

That said, I'll be using this as a loose guideline moving forward.
