IMDb Originals (TV Series) Rian Johnson: Crafting the Perfect Plot Twist (2019) User Reviews

Stop shilling rian. He's not gonna happen

What a waste of time. Seriously so many great things this year to put focus on, and you put this on my wall. Get outta hwre

Pleasant 5 minutes of information.

This is not meant to be an academic exposition of how to write a brilliant plot twist. It is just a pleasant talk about the idea of plot twists giving examples of different movies with different kinds of twists without actually revealing any spoilers. Makes me want to see some of the movies described.

Remember star wars?

Its not good. I do not like it because I do not like what Rian Johnson is doing. Please stay away from Star wars and other great movie franchises.

Nothing new but

[aarongnr · 10/10 · 29 December 2019]

What he's saying is totally correct. And that's the reason Knived Out is such a fantastic movie. He is aware (in this type of genre) and delivers a satisfying twist with beautiful misdirection before it. Thumbs up.

Rian Johnson is spot on in this interview

[imdb-190-776729 · 9/10 · 29 December 2019]

Rian provides an excellent analysis of how plot structure can make all the difference between a good movie and a great one.

I just wish that this interview was longer, so he could put forward some more examples. One that I would have added is Get Out (2017), where you know that something unusual is happening but cannot put your finger on it, the suspense builds up, then all gets revealed in the final few scenes.

Great Info for any Filmmaker - Ignore the Trolls

[nick-assunto · 10/10 · 9 January 2020]

Rian Johnson's knowledge and references are a great tool to add to your belt as a writer/filmmaker. Ignore the low scores. There are still adult male children upset about The Last Jedi for inexplicable reasons that have nothing to do with this video.
