Das Drehbuch: Die Grundlagen des Drehbuchschreibens : Schritt für Schritt vom Konzept zum fertigen Drehbuch

This book emphasizes the importance of structure in screenwriting, but I'm curious what motivated that specific approach and how it evolved.

The practical steps seem useful, but I'm wondering if these exercises translate well into real writing practice or if they feel a bit theoretical.

The selected examples are iconic, but I wonder what criteria Syd Field used to choose these particular films and how they illustrate his principles.
