    2000 year old man understands screenwriting
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 19, 2021*

He is not Carl Reiner, but is over 2000 years old and he understands storytelling (and hence screenwriting). His name is Aristotle and he is from Athens. Or Sparta, or some such place.  The writing is a bit dated as you might expect for a time 2000+ years ol, which makes his pop culture references hard to grasp.  But the concepts are current and, "dead on balls accurate" as Mona Lisa Vito Gambini might say.I hate Kindle books, but this one was the right price (probably due to copyright having expired >1950 years ago).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    2500 years old and still fresh!
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 4, 2022*

This is still, after 2500 years, the most definitive pattern for telling a story that an audience will enjoy. Every movie, play or novel that you’ve been moved by? The template is here. Short read. Highly recommended.

    Very usefull content
  

*by V***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 5, 2014*

I was over thirty years of thinking what Shakespear meant by To Be or Not To Be. I guess I was not very culture minded, but between page 1 and 20 I got the answer to I was looking for over decennia.I am a writer, and since a few years I've switched towards writing  for movies screens. English is not my mother language, so that's my excuss for bad spelling or grammar. Anyhow, the reasson why I gave four stars, is because of the sticky way of my reading in the content of the book.As I wrote above, English is not my mother tongue, and so I had made a long reading through this book.But as for me, it helps to give my character a better mantaince on the pages of my script: Poetics define the nature of morale in a character by the way way he is found to be in a place,  dnd not where he says he shall be...The old To be or not to be line is finaly adapted in my way of thinking. More than I could describe what it is worth to know where Shakespear is comming from, I hope that my review lift a tip of the veil, if you are still in doubt to be purchasing or not to be purchasing...
