After watching "Basics of Movie Script Writing", I praised the film, and I was able to find resources, so I "reluctantly" watched it. I have always liked reading books more than movies, because the book can provide a lot of information, the relationship between the characters is clear, the author's writing is different, and the story structure is very interesting, and the movie, in my opinion, is always a little "superficial".

But this movie knocked me out.

When I was watching this movie, I didn't specifically get to know the real characters such as the director, actor, screenwriter, etc. I watched the movie directly. Needless to say, I was attracted by the whole process and wanted to know the follow-up, and I was able to construct the story behind the story myself. story, in greater length. More than that, after skimming the director's life, I was able to understand more of the plot settings of the movie. The mood that was a little nervous but still relaxed before has changed, and the attitude of viewing it as a movie has also changed. Now, not only can I better understand that the movies mentioned in "Basics of Movie Script Writing" are visual stories, but I can also vaguely understand that a good story is not just a scene in front of me, but a profound specific The characters live vividly, each with their own life highlights and their own late-night sighs.

This is indeed a movie with great educational value. Whether it is from a compact plot or concise language, it combines story scenes in different time and space to produce such ingenious results. It is really worth studying.
