Hello cinema fans. Tonight I want to talk to you about another great classic that, unlike " The Thing ", this one is more directed to the science fiction genre, more specifically to aliens and their close encounters of the third kind (similar to " The Fourth Kind " but much better made). A film that despite the time has managed to age very well, being one of the most influential films of the genre and popular cultur…More

Having grown up watching The Ten Commandments on repeat on VHS, I cant help catching the similar biblical visual cues. Lights from the skies, similar to the enlightenment from God, shining down to the people of Indiana. The chosen ones (*Roy Neary, Jillian Guiler*) ha…More
These are my own personal, current story structure theories. I do not claim them as the intentions of the filmmakers. Cheers :-) Close Encounters is a classic. Written and directed by Steven Spielberg. There were four uncredited writers: Hal Barwood, Jerry Belson, John Hill, and Matthew Robbins. What you might call the inciting incident here is a bit blurry, as the entire opening sequence kicks off the story before…More
