still constructing
I have already written the note on the Chinese translation version of this book, you can read it here: “#033 故事——材质、结构、风格和银幕剧作的原理”. The only reason why I reread the English version is my distrust of translation and my pursuit of the original meaning.
Introduction
- Story is about principles, not rules.
- Story is about eternal, universal forms, not formulas.
- Story is about archetypes, not stereotypes.
- The archetypal story unearths a universally human experience, then wraps itself inside a unique, culture-specific expression.
- Story is about thoroughness, not shortcuts.
- Story is about the realities, not the mysteries of writing.
