Insights/ Breakthroughs:
I love having an underdog character who fights for their dream and ends up as a hero, impacting their world.
The main character in the script I’m currently reviewing is an underdog and the main character in a new script (for a feature length) is also an underdog. In Rudy : he experiences that ending scene in an extraordinary and unique way, it’s so inspiring, I will keep that in mind.

Breakthrough: I’ve always thought that the climaxes and endings of my various characters’ stories had to all come at the same time. Knowing that they don’t, gives me more freedom to improve each climax and ending.

Happy Boxing Day. If anyone would like to read the climax to my inverse whodunnit, Death in the Snow, and exchange scenes, please contact me at joanbutler357@gmail.com

I noticed in Rudy that the coach, who was apparently the antag, became okay in the end, allowing Rudy. So not all movies have a bad end to the antagonist.
That makes me feel better about my ending in which the two major antagonists and one very minor one all come around and are there to help save the cold-stunned turtles. That my protag, Ellie, was the cause of their transformations shows her transformation into an effective activist. All loose ends are tied up, with a humorous topper re Jim (the other protag) — who went from playful playboy to serious and in love.
Even in MEET THE PARENTS, Jack finally comes around and goes after Greg to get him back to marry his daughter.

Hi everyone,
I took a hiatus for a while with this course, but now I see week 4 forum has completely disappeared? Does anyone know what happened, has there been a resolution?
I’ve just emailed Laree who I think is the system person – has everyone been moved to another forum?
Thanks and wishing everyone a very succesful 2023
