Hot Fuzz
Read the screenplay for this recently as some practice for my own and well, the format of this is as simple as I’ve seen them get, so goes to show, you don’t need to be fancy to make an amazing film.
This film heavily relies on its comedic gags and this film is filled with the brim to them. Makes it memorable and constantly rewatchable. An amazing cast playing interesting characters. What this film really does right is making the village feel alive. Its locations are important to the extent that other films don’t get right.
Now, the story of this film? On a rewatch, I will say that the films plot I was able to see as even more far-fetching, but this is really just British humour to has this type of satire feel so grounded. At the same time, this film does have a lot of things going on plotwise and is able to pack that in in 2 hrs which is impressive. From analyzing plot points in all the screenplays, this seems above average, meanwhile a film like The Tree of Life is well under average. I like to at least see that there is many ways to plot point scenes and for it to work.
