…硬塞进故事里。少数族裔跟班、充样子的少数群体、勇敢坚毅的南方女人（《Steel Magnolias》？认真的吗？）、精确到秒的迫在眉睫的危机，等等。有一本讲电影编剧的书叫《Save The Cat》，是我读过关于这个主题最深刻的书。《Avatar》的剧情简直俗套得让人沮丧，就是把标准动作片的套路又照本宣科地复述了一遍。特效…
…into stories. The minority sidekick, token minorities, the plucky Southern Women (Steel Magnolias? Really?), the imminint danger down to the second, etc. There is a book on movie plot writing called, "Save The Cat" that is the most insightful book I've read on that subject. The plot of "Avatar" was depressingly cliche; a standard retelling of the standard action movie plot, done once again. The special effects…
…倒也真说不上；它确实有很多特定类型和特定形式的局限，不过脱离了这个范畴也绝非毫无用处。《The Writer's Journey》更适合用来描绘好莱坞商业大片的脉络（而《Save the Cat》对近年的片子剖析得更精准，几乎给出了精确到每分钟的剧情拆解）。
…really; it's got a lot of genre and form specific but, though it's certainly not entirely useless outside of that focus.

已故的 Blake Snyder 写过几本编剧书（《Save The Cat!》，强烈推荐），他提出了一种假说：世界上只有十种基本的故事范式，而《Alien》就是经典的“屋里有怪兽”（Monster In The House）范式代表，另一部代表作是《Jaws》。简而言之，一部 MITH 电影具备…
The late Blake Snyder wrote a couple of books ("Save The Cat!", recommended) on screenwriting with the hypothesis that there are only ten basic story paradigms, and Alien is the classic "Monster In The House" example, along with Jaws. In short, a MITH movie has…
如果你想在观影时找点幻灭感，去读读 Blake Snyder 的《Save The Cat》吧。然后随便找一部大片，翻到他的节奏表（beat sheet）对着看。按一页对应电影一分钟左右来算，电影每演一步，你就打一个勾。
If you would like a little jade in your viewing experience, read Save The Cat by Blake Snyder. Then go ahead and watch any blockbuster movie with the page open to his beat sheet. Allow around one minute per page, and tick off each step as the movie does.
