    Character Evaluation

    In David Koepp's script, all the plots and characters unfold around the core human emotions, removing those bells and whistles and seemingly cool environment settings. Most of Cape's stories are about people and people. How to deal with and solve these eternal problems-family, love, friendship, faith. If a movie story lacks these core issues, no matter how cool the external setting and the complicated plot, it will make people feel boring. The so-called good script, the character that can stand is the key, and the character must have an arc, that is, there is room for change. The characters created by David Koepp in "War of the worlds" and "Jurassic Park" have reached the level of a commercial film. The arcs and curves of the characters in the film enable the scripted story created by Cap to truly capture people  .
