Movie Notes about sequences / improvisations / parallels from :《第九分局》(The 9th Precinct) /《東京大飯店》(Grand Maison Tokyo) /《殺手進城》(Barry) /《破案神探》Mindhunter


Every little sequence has its own beginning, middle and end, it has its own twist, the sequence ends differently than it started

The 9th Precinct
guy and girl face baddies
guy tells girl to stand back
guy fights baddies
guy loses to baddies
girl steps up
girl beats baddies easily
the girl is actually stronger than the guy


Improvisation becomes the story, plan B becomes the main plot

Grand Maison Tokyo
bank won't lend the main characters money, because there is no star chef
so they need to find a star chef
the story takes a turn
but they find out, they shouldn't just blindly trust a star chef
they should let the founder shine
the story takes another turn
bank says please cut down expenses on ingredients
so they need to change again
then they find out European ingredients don't suit Japanese customer's taste
so they need to change yet again


life parallels theater, theater parallels life
Season 1 of Barry

life parallels investigation, investigation parallels life
Season 2 of Mindhunter
