The Third Act: Writing a Great Ending to Your Screenplay (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

A film's ending is crucial. It is the last thing the audience sees and often the last thing it remembers upon leaving the theater. Indeed, it's no stretch to suggest that, more than any other part of the film, the ending determines whether the audience likes a film or not. By extension, the ending of a script is probably the last thing a reader will remember when they put it down. An otherwise great script will likely be passed on if it does not end well. The Third Act is the first screenwriting instructional book to focus entirely on that most important part of a script - the ending. The book features detailed examinations of many memorable films, including Rocky, Rain Man, Good Will Hunting, Cast Away, Saving Private Ryan, Casablanca, Witness, Million Dollar Baby, Se7en, Lost in Translation and Gladiator. Through this analysis, Drew Yanno highlights the structural elements you'll need to make the ending of your screenplay as compelling and satisfying as possible. If you want to understand the art of writing a great ending to your screenplay, The Third Act is a truly useful resource and inspiration.
