The problem with these is that they're not really plots, but drivers. For example, revenge / rescue simply are motives that drive the hero forwards into the journey. All journeys are quests. Etc. They're quite easy to group and understand within the context of the hero's journey.

This is actually a very good piece of material for educational purposes. The program actually goes very in depth and tells you the perspective and the creation of the specific film. It really does help someone that is writing a script or helping to create a remarkable story’s life easier. And it would definitely bring your thinking to another level as well. It would be great to be treated as extra information that would help you think outside the box.

The last feature one I had to read was in a nuthouse.  For the first 15 pages it felt like One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest meets Of Mice and Men.

Then he ruined it by making them break out and turning it into a farce.

It's quite easy to deal with mental illness in a short period of time. We here in the Colonies used to do it all the time, stash them in a loony bin, problem solved.
Hey! That's not a bad idea for a script.

Not in Britain, it's not.

They're all shorts, too.  You can't deal with mental illness too well in such a short time.  Especially if you make it blindingly obvious from the outset.

I wonder if the fact that it's election season has anything to do with it ...

From the ones people have been sending me, Mental illness seems the flavour of the month.
