save the cat the last book on screenwriting

I started to notice how many great movies use the All Is Lost point to kill someone. You can get it here.“But here’s my little trade secret that I put into every All Is Lost moment just for added spice, and it’s something that many hit movies have. The book is full of constructive advice about writing screenplays. This really is the last book on screenwriting you will ever need. What about you? Do you think the Save The Cat rule is cloying and dull? Let me know in the comments section.

If that is kissing up to the audience then I would kiss the writer, or at least purr. I would like the bank robber and would want him to get away. And I wouldn't mind if a bank robber fed a homeless kitten. I like the idea of making a hero likeable. If I was watching a movie and a character was mean to a cat I would walk out of the theatre and ask for my money back. If I was reading a story where the hero was mean to a cat I would put the book in my litter box. I would never like a hero if they were mean to a cat. Well, I agree with the “Save the Cat” rule. “They find the idea of making the protagonist “likeable” to be cloying and dull, an exercise in kissing up to the audience.” Snyder said that not everyone agrees with his “Save the Cat” rule. Or maybe the hero of the story gives up his seat to someone on a bus. The hero can help a lady pick up her apples when her bag rips. The protagonist can do something else beside saving cats. You don't have to save a cat in every movie or in every story. Oh, it appears that I misunderstood the premise of the book. Snyder said, “Save the Cat is the screenwriting rule that says: ‘The hero has to do something when we meet him so that we like him and want him to win.'” Because I am a cat, I thought Blake Snyder was very wise to always have a story with a cat in it that needed to be saved. But, I will console myself by reading his book. Save The Cat! The Last Book On Screenwriting That You'll Ever Need, was written by Blake Snyder, a man who made millions selling screenplays. And I would never watch your movie or read your book if you were mean to a cat. Actually, please have your main character save the cat when you write a story of any kind. Never, never, never kill the cat when you are writing a screenplay.

You must always save the cat in a screenplay.
