it always amazed me how good people are at pushing every movie into their invented structure :D but still it's helpfull as analyses and thinking about structure
Wow! I'm barely 3 minutes in and am riveted-chock full of practical information. Plus I'm seeing the relationship between character (action and dialogue) and thematic argument in a much clearer way then ever before. Thank you for this.
Beautifully done. This is worth of study and repeat views to fully take in. In my opinion you achieved your goal of demonstrating "How to Write a Perfect Climax".
Tyler, I know you may not see this, but I genuinely wanna thank you for putting these helpful content out here for us. You are an amazing person for doing this and I really appreciate your dedication and effort. U r really the best out here!
I have been following several filmmaking Channels for years now and I think this one and Studio Binder are the best when it comes to explaining story principles in the most visual and memorable way ❤ thanks for your years of commitment
Having written the climax/ending after using your videos, I'm more hyped about this project than I've been about anything in years! Most of the writing content on youtube seems to be entry-level or focuses on specific tropes rather than the craft as a whole, so your channel in general is a Godsend, literally. It's one of the very few I listen to when I want to learn, stupid and improve my writing. I can't thank you enough! Also helps that you focus so much on the philosophical aspects of stories which is what I also want to emphasize in my own work, and is what makes me enjoy fiction the most.
You have no idea how helpful this was! I'm definitely using it and the steps to set up the climax of my story! Thank you so much! (Though I got LOTR spoilers but the fault is mine I should one day watch it but I procrastinate all the time 😅)
This is a great video, and I’ll refer to it when writing my screenplays. Though, I’m still waiting for a video breaking down the philosophical conflict in Across the Spider-Verse; that Miguel vs. Miles scene was a banger. 😄
Notice how the final climatic choice at Step 7 is always made through a very dramatic, unique and interesting action. Not through plain dialogue. I feel like that makes a very big difference on how impactful the climax becomes. I would love idf Tyler would make a specific video about something like that!
I suggest you to read the way of kings. there is a scene on wich the character makes the step 7 for what is basically just a dialogue. And maaaaan it is impactful.
Great video! The main thematic point of the climax is that good wins but… the lesson learnt is that good wins not by directly thwarting evil but evil loses by defeating itself. Yes Frodo succumbs to its evil but that doesn’t mean that good completely loses. It simply just complicates the simple black and white morality of the story so far. This is when the story makes it main thematic statement in that even the purest person of Frodo is fallible to evil… what matters more is that good prevails to the very end until evil undoes itself. That’s the main point of the story. No pure good person can destroy another without they themselves becoming impure. It’s a paradox in that sense. So in that way the only way for evil to be undone is for evil to do what it does best and just destroy destroy destroy until it does what it does best and simply destroys itself. That all is perfectly exemplified in the image of Frodo and Gollum fighting over the ring. The very act of two in conflict leads to them both falling and the central conflict of the story is resolved. Great analysis!
Thank you for this video! I am actually about to begin writing the first draft of the last act of my sci-fi action novel, so this is very good advice for me right now!
Hey, I am currently shoothing my first short film (solo) ,I wrote the story,shot few scenes..for the climax part i clicked on this video and i was surprised after knowing that i have already used "The 8 beats" without even knowing about it thanks to you I cab use that more precisely
It was not Frodo's choice: it was build in in the ring, that you could not throw it into mount doom - that's why the gate to the lava pitt wasn't even guarded. Sauron only didn't calculate that someone could FALL into the pitt. The book is very clear about this. It was all about the will of the ring.
The best part about the climix of Lord of the Rings in my opinion is that it doesn't just see the argument resolved between good and evil, it tells us that fundimentally, Evil will destroy itself. Even through the effort of every good person and every good choice that brought the ring to mordor, it was eventually evil and greed that stabbed itself in the back and ended it all. Whether this resolution to the argument of evil and good is true, it sure is powerful, and I think that's why frodo had to choose wrong just before the end. It was necessary to show that while evil is overwhelming, and good is determined to fight it, in the end, evil has one flaw that good doesn't have, and that's its willingness to destroy itself to get on top. Its shortsighted greed is its own downfall.
Amazing video. But what about reluctant hero stories ? (The Hobbit for example) 1. 2. Bilbo Baggins wants to maintain status quo of peaceful life. 3. Gandalf tricks Bilbo into housing a party for dwarves. 4. Gandalf invites Bilbo to serve as a burglar on their quest to reclaim treasures from the dragon. Bilbo initially against the idea, eventually agrees. 8-1. New status quo. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Don't think that the girl is representing public life in Little Miss Sunshine. She's more like her own thing, wanting to just have this wonderful experience of Beauty contest. I think the two sides of the same coin is represented in her parents (mother = private life, father = public life). But the girl isn't part of these worlds, that are drove through either overprotectivness of the mother or the need to prove something - the teachings of the father. She has her own pure intention, staying in the middle of the scales.
Summary: External stakes+Internal stakes+Philosophical stakes failed->Moral Climax Scene=Protagonist chooses the choice of the right philosophical belief (philosophical stakes passed) and wins his goal (external stakes passed), wins his relationship and the belief of the other characters in the relationship (internal stakes passed). External stakes+Internal stakes+Philosophical stakes passed->Moral Climax Scene=Protagonist chooses the chose of the wrong philosophical belief (philosophical stakes failed) and loses his goal (external stakes failed), and loses his relationship and the belief of the other characters in the relationship (internal stakes failed)
Hey, Can this actually be used to craete every scene from the veey beginning of the novel to the very end? This structure for everything or is it just for end?
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️i had a surpise problem after makeing a choise then chose to leave, a freind of some1 was there... I didnt know he ment i could stop everything then...
Do you analyze missteps filmmakers make in adapting amazing books? Like Villanueve drastically and needlessly missing the mark on Dune? Especially part 2. What a huge intentional miss. Wow.
Repent and believe the gospel! Jesus died for our sins and rose 3 days later so we could be forgiven of our sins and be gifted with everlasting life! Put your faith in Him and follow Him! Life is short, think about this. Please make the right choice today!

The LOTR climactic summary is beautiful.
The chess was a great example (I'm a visual learner).
What a strong video, I was so engaged.
Massive Comeback!!!
Thank you, Enrico! Glad you enjoyed!

This was an amazing video. You are helping amateur writers like myself become stronger writers. Amazing analysis. All the way from South Africa 🇿🇦
Brilliant. I owe so much of my storytelling to your breakdowns.
Glad you enjoyed!

It's amazing how exponentially you are learning and teaching it back so clearly.
Glad you think so!
Now this is the quality content that I subscribed for!

I learned a lot from this. Working on something simuliar in school and you helped me massively.
This is exactly what I needed for my script, I've written everything leading to the climax. Now I need to end it, the right way.
Heck yea. Make it happen 🔥
I think I got most of this into my novel, but will watch for it while I do my final edit.
Thanks, Tyler!

I was looking for this comment. Cheers to you. Evil is self-defeating and always finds its doom in a moment of eucatastrophe.
@@lancewalker2595 Yes and it's not fair to Frodo, as if he was "making the wrong choice". Frodo always was the ring-bearer, never the ring-destroyer.

Great video. Really helpful, Thanks. 👏

Is it possible to apply this 8-beat act structure to acts one and two or does it work specifically for act three? great video!
A masterpiece.
I appreciate it 🙏🏻
Absolute G!
Tyler, can you do a video explaining how this princibles apply to comedy and sitcoms. Curb your enthusiasem for example?
Return of the King 🥲
Do a video on how to create a plot for a movie mashup
Finally a new video ❤️
Very nice
Great vid, just what i needed

Hey you did a video about how to solve writing good scenes forever. Can you solve the fight scene forever. How do you write fight scenes?

That's definitely not a popular opinion. Also, doesn't seem like a video he would do.

The latter half of Return of the King is a mess. No ”perfect climax” here…
Agree to disagree!
