The book SAVE THE CAT and it’s sequel (STC GOES TO MOVIES) made quite a wave within the last few years and for a good reason — both are great books for all screenwriters, written by the industry veteran Blake Snyder. When a professional Hollywood screenwriter makes millions of dollars by selling dozens of screenplays, we’d better listen.

The basic idea is this — if you’d like your viewers identify with your main character and root for her, show her doing something nice, noble, heart-warming, like saving the cat

I was just watching BOURNE SUPREMACY (thrillers are my favorite). Bourne is shot down into a river by an assassin while his girlfriend is driving his Jeep. She is mortally wounded and bleeding under water. Jason first extracts her out of the Jeep and then pushes air from his lungs into her mouth in an desperate attempt to save her… don’t you like that?

I don’t know about you but I’m a softie and such scenes really warm my heart. Yes, Jason Bourne is a trained killer but anyone loving a woman to the extent of jeopardizing his own chances of survival can’t be that bad, correct? Why? Because he just “saved the cat”! You get the idea.

All great movies show the protagonist saving one “cat” or another from some kind of tree. It works. So whatever you do just don’t forget to show your hero doing something that would help us like her, even if she ends up doing nasty stuff in the rest of the story.

Remember Alain Delon in his classic LE SAMOURAI? The man is a contract killer yet he keeps a canary in a cage and he really cares about that canary perhaps because that lonely bird is the only thing he’s got in life close to a “friend”…

Have your hero save the cat, the bird, a loved one, or something precious and worthwhile. That’s a rule you should never forget to write screenplays that touch us and move us.

May all your cinematic dreams come true.

Classic Movies. The mid-20th century is also known as the Golden Age of Hollywood, which produced quite a number of films considered to be defining moments in cinematic history. Stars such as Bette Davis, Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart, Joan Crawford, Audrey Hepburn and directors like Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles are just some of the legends of the cinema who dominated this era.

Biographical Movies. These movies tell the life story of real people such as entertainers, heroes, monarchs, scientists, philanthropists, etc. They do not purport to reveal every single detail of a person’s life but rather center upon a predominant theme and important highlights. Biographies are sometimes dramatized and feature reenactment scenes to further illuminate the personality life of that person. They also touch upon the various historical and social realities at the time.

Family Movies. These films focus on a wider audience, i.e. families. The scenes, themes and dialogue presented in family-oriented movies are generally wholesome and either rated PG (Parental Guidance) or G (General Audience) so as not to leave any negative influence on the children who are watching. Oftentimes, these movies impart moral lessons such as the importance of listening to your parents, the joy of being with your family, and the fact that no matter what happens to you, your family will never leave you. They also tackle family problems that the characters will need to resolve themselves in order to live happily ever after.

Fantasy Movies. These films create a sort of escape for viewers. Fantasy movies often deal with magic and the supernatural and are often filled with wonderful creatures like dwarves, fairies, leprechauns, elves, wizards, etc. They always have some element of drama and purport to teach lessons about life, love and sacrifice to heighten the plot.

Animated Films. These films appeal to children and the young-at-heart but can also be targeted at more mature audiences. Animated films are made with advanced graphics and CGI effects and feature fictitious characters dubbed by real persons, mostly famous actors. A lot of animated films are based on fairy tales and characters in comics; some go so far as to parody classic fairy tales or even retell them from a revisionist point of view. Today, you can find a lot animated films when you watch free movies online.
