About this listen
Is the "Three-Act Structure" universal, or just a Western obsession?
For the grand finale of the trilogy, we travel East to explore the Kishōtenketsu—the narrative structure that powers everything from Totoro to Parasite.
While the Western brain demands Conflict and linear causality (the "Chekhov’s Gun"), the Eastern brain embraces Contrast and harmony. Marc and Alice decode why Westerners often find Asian movies "confusing" or "without an ending," and how learning to accept a story without a villain can actually rewire your brain’s predictive software.
