5.0 out of 5 stars How Finding Nemo and Star Wars follow same basic plot points!, June 29, 2010
The films Finding Nemo and Star Wars are broken down into Sheridan's 40 basic plot points.

As finding Nemo is deconstructed using many of the techniques discussed earlier in the class DVDs, my understanding of the "classic" structure of story became clear. THis DVD pulls all the information together. I just saw Toy Story 3 and the same 40 plot points were used almost in the same order! I am starting to see these plot points in EVERY movie that I see (that is any good.) This DVD shows how GREAT scripts/films adhere to the 40 basic plot points-- whether it's a children's movie, or an epic classic.

Excellent for using in a Deconstructionist or postmodern course such as my class Cinema and Subjectivity. Allows the students to see clear examples of the 40 plot points.
