Abstract

The book “Making a Good Script Great” aims to help its readers develop their skills to express a dramatic story. In this regard, the author, by explaining story structure based on the three-act structure, turning points, climax, and creating characters, introduces the reader the fundamental issues of rewriting the script. But, the author’s main intention is commercially oriented. . Her evaluation system is purely based on selling movies and Hollywood. Besides, reviewing American cinema is not seen in the book. Reducing the whole world of cinema to the Hollywood, putting the three-act structure as the basis, and the ignorance of any other alternative structures in all affairs of script, are considered content problems of the book.
