Also, can you please add the following Description to this book...
Every screenwriting book tells you the same thing: your hero must change. But many of the greatest films ever made prove that’s only half the story. Die Hard, Apollo 13, The Dark Knight, The Pianist, Dunkirk, Mission Impossible, Mad Max, Goldfinger, Raiders of the Lost Ark, 1917, and The Silence of the Lambs are just some of the films studied here. Why do these films grip us like a vise? The answer is constriction: the stripping of agency, language, choice and even the air they breathe until only a character’s core integrity is left. Where the arc asks who a person becomes, constriction asks what survives when everything is taken. Master this alternative engine so your story won't be graded wrongly for something it's not trying to be. This short, sharp book gives structure to the engine Hollywood has used for decades without ever labeling. Includes a fully annotated original screenplay that highlights how to build with constriction.
