Преподаватель сценарного мастерства, гуру Голливуда Роберт Макки предлагает системный подход к «рассказыванию историй». Он предлагает отказаться от набора сюжетов и создать драматическую структуру: выбрать героя, среди многих событий найти самое важное, нарушающее порядок вещей, перейти к преодолению препятствий, довести дело до кризиса, показать, как герой решается, может быть, на единственно верный шаг и начинает действовать, а затем либо победа, либо… окончательное поражение—каждый волен выбирать свой финал.
