I had a free six-week trial subscription to Quickflix recently, and the new Bond movie, Skyfall, was the last disc they sent out.
It didn’t go in quite the direction I thought they were going to go, but it was still a great ride– and what a great song by Adele!
One of the things that stood out for me, structurally, was Skyfall‘s ending.
Blake Snyder likens the finale of a story to ‘storming the castle.’ Skyfall did a great inversion of that idea.
Instead of storming an enemy ‘castle’, Bond must protect his own ‘castle’ from being stormed.
I haven’t yet gone through to see how it hits the five parts to that beat Blake talks about, but it was a gripping finale to an enjoyable movie.
