I used to think there were a lot more than that, based on visits to Blockbuster and my school reading list, but my high school Creative Writing teacher, Mrs. Post, which is an awesome name for an English teacher, corrected my ignorance. She said that all plots are a variation of one of seven basic themes. She used a list made by Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch. Here they are:<br />man against man<br />man against nature<br />man against himself<br />man against God<br />man against society<br />man caught in the middle<br />man and woman"<br />Taken from the web site: http://lenwilson.us/seven-stories/North County Film Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13683794164957833415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-426289653082236320.post-76266039921994827592015-02-23T18:05:34.904-08:002015-02-23T18:05:34.904-08:00My commenter control keeps cutting me off.

I came across a PBS series of Hollywood film making which is quite good. The directors tell their techniques and applaud those of others, quite frankly, scene details, that go unnoticed by us but analyzed in depth by the directors, lighting staff, editors, film crews, even the grips. Quite a feat and discipline when you see all those people on a stage or on location trying to get the scene right. I am sure you have passed by one of those shoots on some LA street and wonder how anything ever gets done, since everyone seems to be everywhere but shooting a scene. Enormous amount of wasted time compared to the early flicks where the first take was it, then they moved on to the next. Of course, the quality suffered.

Jaws ruined ocean swimming for me. Pulp Fiction made me laugh and then be shocked at myself for doing so. Any movie that can make you shock yourself is Oscar worthy! Chinatown was just all around excellent, from teaching something about Los Angeles history to great acting to a mystery that didn't telegraph the ending.PinkyRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039769945919808990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-426289653082236320.post-24593313851539743022015-01-20T20:00:07.021-08:002015-01-20T20:00:07.021-08:00Amazing that so many greats were over-looked.
