A strong story is the foundation of any successful film production. The majority of movies have a three-act structure, which begins with setting up the plot, sends your characters on an adventure, and ends with a resolution.

The majority of the movies you see today are based on this format, which has been successful for many years. Having said that, a skilled screenwriter can use these methods to add something special to their story.

A movie's purpose is to hold viewers' attention from start to finish. This includes unresolved questions throughout the story to keep the audience guessing until the very end.

We enjoy a good drama and this is an excellent approach to achieving that. Of course, we have no problems with a tearjerker that makes us cry, and we never turn down the greatest comedy of all time, but...

We live for the art of cinematic revelation, also known as the movie plot twist when it comes to the ultimate big-screen, small-screen, or any-screen experience. This clever trickery by the screenwriter and director, which is typically presented as a fun surprise, pulls the rug out from under the audience.

When executed masterfully, this clever plot twist produces that elusive spark that every filmmaker strives to achieve: movie magic. Redditors have together to list out movies that have some of the most brilliant story twists.

A rewarding technique to surprise the audience is to flip the script and reveal something they never expected an that is called a twist ending. Twists can make or break a movie, which makes them difficult and they don't always function, though.

Everything hinges on how the twist fits into the overall plot and its context. In other words, this is a plot device that needs to be used carefully.
