Good grief. As kids we used to joke about how movies all seemed to follow basic plotlines.
So star wars was standard plot 5 & 17 with subplots 3 with twist 8.
Well... at the turn of last century, Aarne & Thompson developed the Aarne-Thompson classification system for classifying folktales!!
Good grief I say!
After all, the classic stories about clever foxes is "The Clever Fox (Other Animal) 1–69"
or how about Realistic Tales (Novelle) : "The Man Marries the Princess 850–869"
omg. Now for a phD for my classification system for movies and tv plots. .
mmm
nice.
