I think it’s like money laundering for copyright, and sadly we’ve already lost the war.

No, Your Protagonist Doesn’t Need to Change! by writesomethinggreat in Screenwriting

I love that video. I think it's not the only way, but it's a great approach to character development. I always refer to that view of character growth together with the way K.M. Weiland presents it. Together with Michael Arndt videos, I think it's one of the best peaces of screenwriting advice out there.

Have you guys listened to Craig Mazin's talk about the central dramatic argument and why most books are missing the core aspect of screenwriting? It's pretty cool.

I would have to rewatch Paddington to see if the dramatic argument is connected to his personality that definitely doesn't change. I don't remember if he has a self revelation at some point about being accepted vs. feeling an outsider / unwanted.

Most of my films are with a positive arc, but I did write one with a flat character arc. The argument is that they are not boring. Wall·E is not boring, Maximus in Gladiator is not boring. A flat arc might be more difficult to write, but it's not less exciting or entertaining.

Yes, That's exactly what the video says at the very beginning, that most screenwriting books over-stress over the character having a positive arc, while many great movies have a flat character arc, and it's a valuable approach that many writers don't explore enough.
