“the torch” #12 – The Story is your Mentor

In this week's column comes a telling and a truth: a storyline's inner truth takes the helm and - what happens? See whether you want to follow up on the argument that indeed, and convincingly so in a motion picture, the guiding power can be entrusted in the care of a tale's inner logic, to stay the course of a most natural unfolding that is suspense- and meaningful to the audience. Things get a bit philosophical, almost mystical even, when strong storytelling in a movie is claimed to lie where the visual connection is allowed to take root and unfold according to its own pattern call, resonating with the background of any viewer's versed in the canonical, or the universally human, the much talked about (and sought after) “global appeal”.
It's up for a lively debate: here, the verdict is yours.
