Awesome work, I've been teaching the 7 Basic Plots for the last 3 years in my 8th-grade L.A. class, and this video did a great job of SHOWING them what I have been saying about the importance of stagnation for the main character, thrusting them into this other world, and all the minutiae. Very well done in terms of commentary, editing, and media chosen!

Justin, I was at Chino in 2023 and think you must be the man who was compiling people's stories. I subscribed to your KZbin sometime in the year since, and stumbled into it again in the last month or so. I've watched a few of your videos and saw this interview today. I'm on the ground at the bottom of the hill, working on memoir and, this year, a chapbook. You and Rex have given me a lot to think about as to why, with several courses and iterations of the chapters of the first book, I'm on a second one staring back at how far I've progressed and why I'm still not quite able to see it. I also listened to your video on Groundhog Day, this morning. Both videos point me at, let the cycle make sense. Learn to get up and go again is an acceptable part of the process. I've been told, but told isn't the same as seeing and believing. Thanks for making these videos. I think I may watch them again.

They are my favourite types of movies along with "physical transformation" movies like: Beauty & the Beast, Howl's Moving Castle, The Princess & the Frog, Shrek, Red Shoes & The 7 Dwarves. Thank you for posting this articulate yet straightforward analysis 💚 It got to me and I think I like them both equally because they hold bits and pieces of my own story. I hope I can reach a point where I can reach my potential and be a mentor as well.

8:20, what do you do with stories like Hezekiah, who after his rebirth from illness he screws up his legacy?
@justinsmorningcoffee
@justinsmorningcoffee 6 ай бұрын
@@TheMeaningCode I suspect that if I was asked to write a dramatic version of that story, it would probably structure out in a nice five act tragedy, ending with the tragic destruction of the city, which, on my story map, is the fall off of the first mountain. I’m not saying you would have to do it that way, but it would probably work to do it like that. Remember, these maps are suppose to be tools to help you structure a story, not a comprehensive theory that you have to fit all stories into. It depends on what you are tying to do with it. Also remember, the presence of any one element, a monster, a sword, an antagonist, a love interest, a journey to the underworld et cetera is never, as far as I’ve seen, relegated to one plot type only. For example there are almost always monsters in the quest archetype. In fact, it’s like a little mini overcoming the monster story *within* that larger, more complex story type. So there’s always a kind of fractal quality to it, in the sense that there are mini patterns inside of the bigger ones. Think of them like musical motifs, phrases or sequences which can be used in adjacent musical genres. In my studies, I have noted an intimate connection in fact between the tragedy and the rebirth types, in that they typically share the first four acts (anticipation, dream, frustration, nightmare) and only differ in that final act - the tragic figure doubles down on folly while the rebirth protagonist learns how to repent. That’s probably actually something to look for in the Hezekiah story.

in Lord of the Rings, Dwarves live in the Mountains (not elves), the Elves live in the forest (which is a paradise like area). Note: Elves are the good, and orcs are corrupted elves. Per the internet: In J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, orcs are a race of humanoid monsters that are said to be a corrupted race of elves. According to The Silmarillion, the Dark Lord Morgoth either bred the orcs or turned them savage through cruelty and torture. Morgoth may have done this out of envy and mockery of the elves, and in an attempt to create life himself.

Plot is not the "What" of a story; Theme is What the story is about. Plot is part of the delivery mechanism of Theme. Theme is what the story is about. Perhaps you could think of it as: Plot is what happens on the surface of the story, and theme is what the story is about (the 'deeper' "what". (i.e. there are two different kinds of whats). Also take a look at Story Genius by Lisa Cron. Cron's definition of story: “A story is how what happens affects someone who is trying to achieve what turns out to be a difficult goal, and how he or she changes as a result. . . . As counterintuitive as it may sound, a story is not about the plot or even what happens in it."
