'Save the cat' desbloqueado: seu guia para o sucesso de roteiro moderno

<p>Amazing job, Yana!I really enjoy the details of the camerawork you've included. </p><br />Your in-depth understanding of the film is evident as early as the Opening Image - you have a very clear idea of the message behind it.You've understood the theme very well - can you even save someone who doesn't want to be saved is a persistent question in the film.An additional very important part of the Setup is the introduction of the stakes and Charlie's flaws, he'll have to overcome.The Catalyst is the thing that kicks the story into motion. Without it, we have no story. In this case, I'd say it's his offer to give Ellie all his money if she spends time with him. And it works because it gives Charlie a goal - to reconnect with his daughter.You're spot on with your interpretation of the Debate.Beautifully summarised the Break into Two.You can definitely interpret his relationship with Liz as a B Story. Another B Story that appears around this time is his relationship with the missionary, which poses the question of salvation and redemption even more directly.The bulk of the film, the Fun and Games, is indeed centered around Charlie's attempt to reconcile with his daughter.I'd say that the Midpoint is actually the moment of false hope in this film. When Ellie writes the essay, which makes us feel like they might be able to reconnect.The Bad Guys Close In is interpreted well. It's the reintroduction of the mum, Ellie and the pills, and Liz realising Charlie actually had the money to receive medical help. So this is where relationships start crashing and secrets are revealed. You've interpreted All is Lost really well. It's when he practically places himself on death's door with a binge eating episode and almost dies.The Dark Night of the Soul is the emotional reaction to the action from the previous beat. So this is when Charlie is at his lowest point.Yes, the Break into Three is definitely this last glimmer of hope. Charlie attempts to reach Ellie when she reads her essay. You understand the Finale very very well.I love that you mention the huge contrast in the Final Image. It definitely reinforces its meaning.<br />Congratulation! You've done great!

Thank you so much Simona for your thoughtful feedback! I truly appreciate it!
