Descrizione Commenti dei lettori

We analyze what some of the main screenwriting experts say about the inciting incident (also called inciting event, catalyst, big hook, among other terms) underlining the limitations of the various approaches and trying to arrive at a new view of the topic, which can apply to both cinema and television. At the end, a last twist takes us to question the necessity of the concept, suggesting that it can be applied only to some kind of movies and even for them it may be superfluous.
