There is no excuse for having two white house down films within a few months with the exact same plot.

I guess I am lucky to say that I am oblivious to what you speak of. Oh the glory of not watching T.V. outside of the little that is shown at work.

But I am sure you are spot on Lol

Is there not something like only 7 basic Themes and Stories to actually tell? All is "variation".


The total number is debateable, but there are not many.

What story tellers rely on is that you have approximately 12 archetypes and as many as 36 plots...but I would probably stick with 20. If you really break it down it is 7 at its most basic of interpretations.



Yeah. I think the idea of 7 of them is from Plato or something.


man against man
man against nature
man against himself
man against God
man against society
man caught in the middle
man and woman

OR:

unrecognised virtue at last recognised (Cinderella)
the Fatal Flaw (Achilles)
Debt that Must be Paid, the fate that catches up with all of us sooner or later (Faust)
standard triangular plot of two women and one man, or two men and one woman (Tristan)
Spider and the Fly (Othello)
Boy meets Girl, Boy loses Girl, Boy either finds or does not find Girl
The Gift taken Away (Orpheus)

Someone finally said it: Johnny Depp Is Not A Good Actor

"It doesn’t feel like prancing around in a pirate costume doing a knock-off Keith Richards impression for four movies makes him a great actor. Even Keith Richards earned his swagger through making some of the greatest music in history and some pretty hard living. Depp just threw on some eyeliner and a bad accent and called it acting.”

"And the more he’s worked with Tim Burton, the more their relationship has gone from symbiotic to toxic -- what once was a happy and mutually beneficial coupling that gave us films like Edward Scissorhands and Ed Wood, is now giving us total **** shows like Dark Shadows"

I somewhat agree. I was a Depp fan boy for a long time, but just because he got type casted, whether through his own doing or others, does not negate that he has done some great acting....imho

Keanu Reeves on the other hand.....
