Regardless of whether you’re a film connoisseur or haven’t been in a theatre for decades, this book was entertaining on all fronts. I’m an avid film fanatic but I believe these lessons are good for all forms of creative writing and film work in general. I could not stress enough how much of a pleasurable read this has been.

One of the best books from a youtube content creator I've had the pleasure of reading. I not only get to learn important screenwriting techniques from someone who's been paying attention to them for over 10 years, but I get to read more about the big movies that've been part of popular culture and learn more insights into what makes their stories more impactful compared to others. Even if you no idea who Filmento is or his youtube content, You'll want to read this book to learn more about what makes stories worth paying attention to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow. Life, changing.
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2023
One summer afternoon at the climax of a depressive episode, I opened my mobile electronic device in search of something. What was I searching for you might ask? I asked myself the same question over, and over again. I felt a sense of hopelessness engulf me as I aimlessly scrolled through every form of social media, from Twitter to Instagram, searching. I soon realized I was searching for a reason to keep going, a reason to care and believe that this life contained more than the monotonous, melancholy, and desperate darkness that encompassed my every thought. At the end of a very long expedition to find a purpose for my existence, I stumbled across something. While scrolling on the most unsuspecting of apps, Youtube nonetheless, there before me on my screen, I observed a name so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. Filmento. I could hear a heavenly choir chiming in my ears as the name repeated over and over again in my mind. I tapped on his name and was presented with only the most glorious display of high-quality videos going into the most in-depth and detailed movie assessments. His magnificent voice and incredible editing skills sent shivers down my spine, as I basked in his endless power and his immaculate sense of humor. I binged every last one of his spectacular videos as fast as I possibly could, each one filling me with a joy that I'd never experienced before. As the darkness was vanquished from my mind I could feel Filmento's caring hands reaching for me, and lifting me gracefully out of the pit of despair I had been stuck in for so long. The warmth in my heart was undying and a new sense of worth and meaning was mercifully gifted to me. He never even asked me for anything more, than a like and a sub, which I was honored to give to him in return for all he had given me. Just when I thought things couldn't get any better, they did. When Filmento announced he was crafting a book of his very own, that he personally filled with the glory of his opinions, ideas, and strategies for screenwriting and storytelling, I knew I needed it. The second I was allowed to pre-order this masterpiece I was the first to do so, and when the day arrived when I could finally be graced by this wonder of art I was changed forever. The book was more valuable than the most precious of diamonds, and he sold it for a humble 9.99$ making sure all could afford and be blessed by this magnum opus. I now know the plot of Indiana Jones 5, the only reasonable adventure he could embark on is the search for a hard print copy of this sacred item, as it is more valuable than the Ark of the covenant, the Sankara stones, the Holy Grail, and the crystal skull of Akator, all combined. Anyone who does not have this sacred commodity is missing out and should correct this mistake immediately. Now my quest is complete and I have discovered the only reasonable thing to do in this life is hit that subscribe button, smash that like, and buy yourself this holy treasure.

Puts into written form what is already on YouTube. Nothing new. Lots of typos, less entertaining. Would be more interesting if he did preproduction script doctoring rather than post viewing critiques.

5.0 out of 5 stars So glad I actually bought it. Extremely surprised
Reviewed in Brazil on March 21, 2023

Initially, I bought this to support the channel. But I'm so glad I did!

I've read plenty of books on the subject. Really. All the classics.

But this one stands out. This is proper information. This should be on every college. This is a book for the everyman and for the cinephile.

This book has so many good tips, and they're so easy to absorb.

Filmento uses examples that we are actually familiar with. And THIS is where it stands above the rest of the classic books. Contemporary films that we liked and hated, and both sides have qualities and flaws. Why they succeeded, why they failed.

This is a roadmap for a better understanding of film, truly. I am actually impressed, I thought it would be a silly Youtuber book, but this changed my perspective.

Listen, I'm not saying we shouldn't study the classics, we should, but after a while they get repetitive and don't offer as much of an insight as this one does. This deconstructs movies in a way we can understand, and that's why I love it.

100/100

It's basically his video essays in text form but distilled and organized.
Each subject comes with a positive recent example on how to do it and a negative one.
This is really helpful for any aspiring storyteller or even just hobby enjoyers of fiction. And it doesn't outstay its welcome with any unnecessary padding.
