I've read a few books on screenwriting as part of my reading about writing in general, and the author of this book, the late Blake Snyder, is correct in his early statement that many of those other books, though excellent resources, -do- hold a reverence for film that perhaps obscures and interferes with their ability to give advice. I'm thinking of Robert McKee's 'Story,' right off the bat. Not a bad thing, and of course you'd want someone to be reverential of the medium in which they choose to work. But it's refreshing reading a more light-hearted approach that still takes the craft just as seriously. There are many who oppose what they see as the rigidity of Snyder's approach. These people are even called out in the text: 'But what about Memento?' these people ask. As in: what about movies that don't follow this structure? Being as Snyder died in 2009, I think I can answer the this criticism thusly: Christopher Nolan directed Memento in 2000. Since then, he's directed Batman movies and Inception. Wonderful, successful, creative movies, but also movies that lean more heavily on the structure outlined in this book than Memento. And I would argue that more people have seen Memento since then in a quest to watch all of this very successful director's past work than saw it before he started writing his creative scripts in a more structured way. Basically, I think people who think that learning techniques that other people working on the craft employ will ruin their 'art' aren't really as artistic as they think they are. It's something you always hear. If your 'artistry' is so fragile that it would evaporate after hearing about three act structure, maybe you're not the cinematic Picasso you fancy yourself to be. Another criticism is that Blake Snyder only had two scripts produced. Neither, admittedly, a very artsy film: 'Stop or my Mom will Shoot' and 'Blank Check.' Two things: Snyder says that family comedy is the type of movie he writes. Both of these were profitable movies in that genre and though they came out in like 1989 and 1993, lots of people have still heard of them 25 and 21 years later, so they have had a bit of lasting impact. Secondly, Snyder has had an enormous amount of scripts BOUGHT, including one from Steven Spielberg for one million dollars. I've seen criticism from people that seems to equate scripts produced to scripts bought, and say he wasn't so successful as a screenwriter that they need to listen to him. That's fairly ridiculous. What are the percentage of people who set out to be screenwriters who even get one film produced, let alone two? Not very high of a percentage. And the number of screenplays sold that get produced is equally low. So it evinces a fairly amateurish understanding of the industry to not grasp these points. And I'm saying this as someone who doesn't write screenplays, only novels and short stories. Even in my reading, I've learned as much. But that is all more defense of the utility of the book than review. There are a number of helpful terms, in addition to 'Save the Cat,' such as 'Pope in the Pool,' that are easily remembered and express important points for any writer, whether their working on screenplays or manuscripts. This book was well worth the time it took to read it and the money invested, and I'm certain I want to move on to Snyder's other two books. Recommended for anyone interested in storycrafting of any sort. ## Frequently Bought Together - Save The Cat! The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever Need - Save the Cat!
