one of if not the best channels for writing and film. the storytelling (narrator, edits, transitions, script) is so good that even ordinary guy who got nothing to do with writing and films would enjoy watching. please keep the great work!
One of my personal favorite twists was in The Prestige. On second viewing, the twist is practically force-fed to you. "Are you watching closely" indeed.
Went back to watch the Prestige after reading your comment. Has to be at least 10 years since the last time I watched it. You're right, there were clues peppered throughout. Also I wondered at the end of the rewatch, did Angiers kill himself? (did his copy kill him) Nolan always does this thing in his movies where he leaves a fundamental aspect of the main character's reality up for interpretation. I watched the scene over and over again and thought, his copy shot him didn't it, that's why he says "I'm the..."
If a plot twist when handled well, it can be better on rewatch. Sixth Sense, Memento, and Fight Club are great examples of plot twists done well in movies. If not handled well, it can make the audience feel like they've been cheated, like Don't Worry Darling or Serenity (2019).
Sixth Sense doesn't make any (sense)... Malcolm doesn't work as a ghost from his own perspective where he should notice that nobody interacts with him. It only creates an illusion for the audience with no logical in-universe explanation.
But it is stated outright that ghosts don't generally know that they are dead, so Malcolm not recognizing this fact is in keeping with the story rules.@@enoyna1001
One of my favorite plot twists was the character reveal in Spider-Man: Homecoming, when Liz’s dad opens the door for Peter and we realize (along with Peter) that Liz’s dad has been the Vulture this whole time. The clues to Vulture being Liz’s dad were all there for the audience to pick up on throughout the film; It was Liz’s drawing in the opening flashback and Liz’s family is rich since her dad has been stealing and selling Stark/Chitauri Tech. All the clues were there and all the dots were connected, but because of how the story was structured and how information was withheld from the audience, it made for a fantastic reveal where everything made sense and left us with a sense of dread for what happened next for Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
I love The Village despite people's criticism of it, but my one problem is that the movie doesn't emphasize enough that they're supposed to be in the 1800s. One of the first shots in the film shows a gravestone claiming that the person just died in 1898 or whatever, but it's only a split second shot, and the movie doesn't emphasize enough that they're supposed to be in the late 1800s, so that made it possible for some people to figure out the twist before the end. Amish and Hutterite etc. type communities exist in the modern world and the movie doesn't emphasize enough that that's not what they're supposed to be, making it too easy for some people to see the plot twist coming and not making the plot twist shocking enough.
Good analysis man, I love when movies construct an excellent plot twist, when you finish the movie, you want to watch it again to see how the movie constructs the mystery and how the truth was always there and you didn't catch it.
Scream was SUCH a cultural phenominon back in 1997 with all the AOL trivia chat groups... my mom and I saw it upon its theatrical release. She is so good, she knew who the killer was early on - I was floored. Also Sixth Sense was an amazing cinema experience. My bestfriend and I were so freaked out by the (obvious) ghosts/ dead people in this movie, we were laughing hysterically and the viewers around us were like, "WTF?" Memento is another one that had a lasting impact on me.
One of the worst plot twists is Now You See Me, where we learn at the end that Mark Buffalo’s character was ine if the henchmen all along. But during the runtime of the movie we never get a single clue ir a breadcrumb that would hint this. Even when Mark’s character is alone without anyone around, he still acts like he is frustrated because of the wizards’ actions
Actually there are some hints, like when woody mind reads him. And every misdirection is lead by him, fake car accident, fake vault. He is the one distracts the team in every turn. They treated it as a magic trick. I could understand it didn't work out for you. But for it worked. And when it comes to NOW YOU SEE ME 2, they made Morgan freeman as a member of eye and thats a bummer. It throws away everything they did in the first part.. thats what happen when you do the trick twice.
@ I am aware of some of them. Like when he said go East and it was actually North or something. But an FBI agent shouldn't make such silly mistakes, especially in front of a foreigner who knows the correct directions.
Referring to your channel, here's no plot twist to be found at all. You again and as always created a masterpiece about how to create a masterpiece. Thanks so much for your great work!
The Plot Twist is what makes A Movie storytelling more Original. Thank you StudioBinder for this Inspiring video. A video where every detail is a clue to understand what means the Plot Twist.
lol I had to watch Get Out first before watching this since I keep hearing it was a good movie. Creepy mix between the Tales of the Cript and the Twilight Zone
I'm planning on including twists in my thriller novel trilogy and in some of the screenplays I plan to write, and those tips will certainly help. Thank you for explaining how to write plot twists well.
Predestination should also be an example of how to make a great plot twist. That ending is a chef's kiss. Anyway, great video once again, StudioBinder!
That John Truby quote at the start was actually enough for me to explain why some of the supposed 'plot twists' I've experienced felt lame. Compared to great ones like Sixth Sense and Shutter Island, the bad ones were all like shocking for maybe 1 second but then when you think about it, barely has changed anything plot-wise. So it was more like a story with a peculiar conclusion rather than a twist.
Good video. Thanks. What I really enjoyed in the Village was the use of the word 'Alley.' I think the line was "He was attacked in an alley." In the context it seems shockingly modern and anachronistic. It is however a word from the 14th century. The plot twist in the Sixth Sense is not that we lean that Bruce Willis' character is a ghost, we've suspected that all along -- but it's undermined. The big surprise is our reaction to Willis' character finding this out. The Sixth Sense is full of 'ghost' troupes from movies, the ghost is seen, he can't interact physically with the world.... I don't remember any of these specifically, but I clearly remember picking up on 'movie ghost code,' but then dismissing it because of new information. It is Shyamalan's best movie I think because of this greater depth. Instead of us the viewers being surprised and shocked, we are emotionally connected to the character and his shock.
maybe because you saw the movie 20 years later or maybe because you're a movie buff who has seen so many that you're hard to surprise, but the Bruce Willis character reveal was a huge plot twist, in itself.
I agree with you. I meant to write that the ''ghost IS seen, but he can't interact physically,' And yes I did apply what I've seen in a lot of movies, especially Kon Ichikawa's The Burmese Harp. So I did think 'ghost,' but then, nah.. So M. Night Shamaylan really surprised me at the end. He did a great job. @@ebbyc1817
The Village is one of my favorite films and I dont know why it is often critizised. It has such great philosophical conflict, emotional meaningful Twists, the most touching dialogue and Soundtrack, outstanding acting...I just think some people dont get it when its not Just about meaningless horror
I watched it on theater and feels disappointed. Mainly because it differs from my expectation. But boy oh boy, I watch it again and again, it is aging like a fine wine. It's so deep and philosophical, plus has a very neat twist execution.
I think it good one. But the ending just not thrilling. Thats the problem. Mr. Night took many twist as his style of written. That make every time people watch his movies. They will looking for the twist not the story
I think it was more of an initial reaction to the marketing and not the story itself. It was marketed as this edge-of-your-seat horror/thriller and is in fact a much slower, deeper, and more compelling story that much of the audience was either not ready for or not expecting.
As usual,great video. I prefer when the twist is revealed before the end, cause I kind of feel cheated, so that way I still can enjoy the film for a while knowing the truth. Like a reward from the author for being lying to me.
My favorite misdirection is Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice where she makes us think of Lizzie's father as good and sensible and the mother delirious. Well, aren't we in for a shock when life proves otherwise
To be honest my fav plot twist is from the movie THE PRESTIGE. I was blown away at the ending. When Borden(Christian Bale) discovers multiple Angier(Hugh Jackman) in the glass tank.
my favourite twists that actually got me stumped were the ones from the zero escape games (999 and virtue's last reward), like vlr's protag (spoiler) having traveled down his timeline and he's been looking like an old dude this whole time to the other characters and he and the player didn't know because there were no mirrors anywhere but it made sense when he made a comment normal for some young dude and the girls would look at him weird
My Favorite Movies Plot Twist are : -Star Wars Episode 5 the Empire Strike Back (1980) -The Usual Suspects (1995) -Shutter Island (2010) -Seven (1995) -Scream (1996) -Fight Club (1999) -Gone Girl (2014) -Parasite (2019) -Psycho (1960) -Memento (2000) -Old Boy (2003) -The Planet of the Apes (1968) -Soylent Green (1973) -The Wicked Man (1973) -Angel Heart (1987) -The Village (2004) -The Ring (2002) -Saw (2004) And even Plot Twist in video games and comic books.
Great list. I love all of those too. People don't talk about Angel Heart (1987) NEARLY enough, though. SPOILERS: It even includes breadcrumbs in character names (De Niro's character "name"). Shutter Island uses a similar technique, but it's much harder to unscramble an anagram than it is to notice phonetical similarities... Some of my favorite plot twists of ALL TIME are in Bong Joon Ho's "Mother" (2009) and Park Chan Wook's "The Handmaiden" (2017), which is pretty much a game of "plot twist cat-and-mouse" with the audience. Both directors feature in your list, btw...
The plot twist in "The Others" gave me anxiety, did not see it coming. "The Sixth Sense" is more obvious. "The Village" was another that took me off guard. Now it's more difficult to keep plot twists hidden from audiences because of all the leaks on the internet
One of my favourite twists is from Jordan Peele's "Us". That caught me way off guard, yes there were breadcrumbs and oh boy did I get misdirected, the ending truly caught me way off guard. I hope Jordan Peele makes more movies like this.
It felt like US cheated a bit. The way the lady acted (forgot her name) just doesn't seem correct on rewatch. There are definitely false breadcrumbs. It could have been better IMO.
Hi! i appreciate you guys producing this high quality educational videos, I've noticed that you have not tackled Wong kar wai movies and their themes of longing, lost and loneliness and his use of motifs and unique cinematography such as step-printing technique, im curious about this and hope you can tackle this in future videos!
You guys are great, but I wish you would use more movies, it feels like you're repeating them a little bit, especially in the longer examples. Also, it would be fun if you could make a video talking more about the clues movies have for the upcoming twists (lines, characters, props, clothes, vfx, etc...), and maybe "The art of sequels and prequels" or something like that.
Mulholland drive is much underrated, or just not well known. But begs the question, was he set up, or was he delusional the entire time? The way Tim Robbins smiles tells me set up brilliantly, but you never know right?
@@MisterGames I read the movie explaination and try to fit it together and from what I understand, the idea is about fantasizing about some one's famous lives and the disappointement when you wake up in the reality and all the glamorizing staff disappears and the real ones slice us over ! If I get it right, I haven't seen other movies discuss such idea in such surreal way so I respect that even though I don't like the movie itself but as I said Mind-bending plot twist you couldn't or at least I didn't get it easily 😉🙌
I was honestly shocked that the final twist is the video is over hahahaha awesome video as usual @studiobinder what is you favorite twist off all time?
0:26 The "funny" thing and the reason why DARTH VADER is film's greatest villain is: he wasn't even gaslighting LUKE in that scene. He told him the hard truth, and that can break a hero.
The plot twist in Oldboy was so shocking that it goes to show about the extremes of vengeance people take out on people and the plot twist makes the ending ambiguous!! A very unique revenge film I have to say!!
I was afraid this video would have the same plot twist I've seen in so many UA-cam videos. You know, the one where you're led to believe you're going to see a good, well-researched presentation but it turns out to be an AI-generated piece of crap. I was very pleased that no reversal took place here, as well with the work and attention to detail that went into this. :D
Some don’ts on writing a plot twist: 1) don’t shoot the hell out of Bruce Willis at the start of the film 2) don’t have the only person who interacts with him be a kid who sees dead people 3) don’t make the twist be that Bruce Willis is dead.
In Scream you can actually see the twist coming in the videostore scene. When Billy accuses Randy of being the killer you can see Stu standing behind him with a giant grin on is face.
Coincidentally, earlier this morning I started rewriting, just as an exercise, an ancient Star Trek episode with two miserably executed plot twists that end up having no bearing on the main story problem. I have no creative writing experience, so this is just an idea for a homework assignment for myself I came up with.
@@reptiliannoizezz.413 Thanks for asking - chugging along, surprisingly enough! I'm helped by the fact that someone, I guess in the far internet past, posted transcripts. This is mostly dialogue (television being pretty dialogue heavy). This is helping me to mark up where some of the fixing can be done just by deleting some bits of dialogue, changing others. I've also listened to three different podcasts where people analyze this episode of Star Trek, to see what else I can address while I'm at it.

Indeed. I decided to start a channel recently and been hooked on these videos sense. I have ZERO film experience. and I do mean zero.
The Six Sense, back then first watch. Not knowing anything. No social media ruining it. Has to be the greatest plot twist in cinema history. Period.
You liked it better than the first Saw movie plot twist?? Not disagreeing just curious cause those are tied for me.
@@Testtesttest777 if saw enters the conv then we need to mention also The Usual Suspects

That Shyamalan was a good director ...is the greatest plot twist...... sorry I had too
One of my personal favorite twists was in The Prestige. On second viewing, the twist is practically force-fed to you. "Are you watching closely" indeed.

Yes, there can be no cheating. Agatha Christie was very good at plot twists, as was O. Henry.

Good modern example!
That car scene after that reveal was the perfect way to up the ante. Chef's kiss of a scene filled with dread and tension.
I don't know if I would call it a plot twist, it's just a surprise, it doesn't really change the plot
Yes but let's be honest, the real reason we didn't notice was: he's white, she's black
@@cecily3797The actress is biracial in real life so it's not far fetched he is her dad in the movie
I love The Village despite people's criticism of it, but my one problem is that the movie doesn't emphasize enough that they're supposed to be in the 1800s.

Not to mention the cut to the cop’s pov turning the reveal into a punchline
Good analysis man, I love when movies construct an excellent plot twist, when you finish the movie, you want to watch it again to see how the movie constructs the mystery and how the truth was always there and you didn't catch it.
Nothing quite like it!
I watched the Sixth Sense again to see how he pulled off that one.
I also watched it with my wife, to see when she got it. That was enjoyable.
It's a pleasure to be with studio binder from 400k to a million now
thanks for joining us on the ride :)

Memento is another one that had a lasting impact on me.
I think THE OTHERS also had a great twist. It's such an under-rated movie. No violence or over use of jump scares....it's all suspense.
Have to agree The Others was brilliant. Also, Below and A Stir of Echoes were in a similar vein and very effectively structured.
The Others was SO good, in a really understated way as well.
One of the worst plot twists is Now You See Me, where we learn at the end that Mark Buffalo’s character was ine if the henchmen all along. But during the runtime of the movie we never get a single clue ir a breadcrumb that would hint this. Even when Mark’s character is alone without anyone around, he still acts like he is frustrated because of the wizards’ actions
Yeah, I agree. That was disappointing, not cool.
Actually there are some hints, like when woody mind reads him. And every misdirection is lead by him, fake car accident, fake vault. He is the one distracts the team in every turn. They treated it as a magic trick. I could understand it didn't work out for you. But for it worked. And when it comes to NOW YOU SEE ME 2, they made Morgan freeman as a member of eye and thats a bummer. It throws away everything they did in the first part.. thats what happen when you do the trick twice.

2:42 Why MYSTERIO [in Spider-Man FFH] is the most entertaining movie villain. His encore was EPIC payback!
another great masterclass!
Cheers!
Great video
💖💖
Talking about plot twists without Nolan’s “Prestige” is missing out on a unique technique. Highly recommended.
to me personally, the best plot twist in a movie have always been in Alfred Hitchcock movie. especially vertigo.
No one does it like Hitchcock!
what is the movie at 2:03-2:08? where they explain timeline shift
Incendies and Mulholland drive also have one of the smartest and unexpected mind-bending plot twists of all time 🙌
Mulholland drive is much underrated, or just not well known. But begs the question, was he set up, or was he delusional the entire time? The way Tim Robbins smiles tells me set up brilliantly, but you never know right?
@@MisterGames I read the movie explaination and try to fit it together and from what I understand, the idea is about fantasizing about some one's famous lives and the disappointement when you wake up in the reality and all the glamorizing staff disappears and the real ones slice us over !
If I get it right, I haven't seen other movies discuss such idea in such surreal way so I respect that even though I don't like the movie itself but as I said
Mind-bending plot twist you couldn't or at least I didn't get it easily 😉🙌
@@marwanel-aghoury8822why don't you like it?
@@sarangasaikia343 lesbian relationship and many nude scenes and I don't like such things in movies or any form of media production
Thank you so much for being my guide, mentor, teacher love you team studio binder
happy filming!
hello studiobinder. how
do you access scripts for the movies and play them under the movie as it's continuing?
Handmaiden should be included in these twist videos. It's twistS are so so good
I was honestly shocked that the final twist is the video is over hahahaha
awesome video as usual
@studiobinder what is you favorite twist off all time?
maybe we'll make a video list ;)
Great video !! But you guys forgot Identity ! 👀 Truly masterpiece
0:26 The "funny" thing and the reason why DARTH VADER is film's greatest villain is: he wasn't even gaslighting LUKE in that scene. He told him the hard truth, and that can break a hero.
Does anyone have an example of great plot twist that function as the inciting incident/break into Act II?
Off the top of my head From Dusk Till Dawn and Parasite some to mind. It's more like the halfway point of the movie.
Awesome twist at the end.
I have seen all of these movies, loved all of them, can you recommend lesser known movies with great plot twist ?
We might!
Very Helpful
Glad you liked it!
Narrator ❤❤❤

I LOVE his voice. My voice is like a boring 20 something kid trying to be a grown up.
Thanks for helping , 😊 love and fans from India 🎉
Glad you liked it!
@@StudioBinder OMG you replied for me , by the way sir , hats off to your talent and dedication .
15:56 The very start of the third act in a three-act structure would be 2/3 into the screenplay, not 3/4.
What are the movies cited in this video? I looooovvveee plot twist movies and I want to watch what you've mentioned. I don't want any spoilers!
The plot twist in Oldboy was so shocking that it goes to show about the extremes of vengeance people take out on people and the plot twist makes the ending ambiguous!! A very unique revenge film I have to say!!
THE revenge film arguably
David Fincher 🔥
Great at plot twists!
thank you
Please upload English subtitles! ❤❤
subtitles should be up!
The the 6th sense had one of the best plot twists.
All time classic!
at 18:45 what is the music or song here? does anybody know?
i liked the plot twist from enders game where the kids find out the simulations were real
Even better in the book!
Wow the sixth sense is a great movie, im pissed i didnt see it before this lmaoo, gonna go watch it now
Could you do a video on roomtone, making dialogue sound natural and sound design
Thanks for the suggestion!
I was afraid this video would have the same plot twist I've seen in so many UA-cam videos. You know, the one where you're led to believe you're going to see a good, well-researched presentation but it turns out to be an AI-generated piece of crap. I was very pleased that no reversal took place here, as well with the work and attention to detail that went into this. :D
Some don’ts on writing a plot twist:
1) don’t shoot the hell out of Bruce Willis at the start of the film
2) don’t have the only person who interacts with him be a kid who sees dead people
3) don’t make the twist be that Bruce Willis is dead.
In Scream you can actually see the twist coming in the videostore scene.
When Billy accuses Randy of being the killer you can see Stu standing behind him with a giant grin on is face.
very informative video
Pilot Twist especially in the horror movies is amazing.
The Others
Coincidentally, earlier this morning I started rewriting, just as an exercise, an ancient Star Trek episode with two miserably executed plot twists that end up having no bearing on the main story problem. I have no creative writing experience, so this is just an idea for a homework assignment for myself I came up with.
That sounds like a great exercise!
So how's that going?
@@reptiliannoizezz.413 Thanks for asking - chugging along, surprisingly enough! I'm helped by the fact that someone, I guess in the far internet past, posted transcripts. This is mostly dialogue (television being pretty dialogue heavy). This is helping me to mark up where some of the fixing can be done just by deleting some bits of dialogue, changing others. I've also listened to three different podcasts where people analyze this episode of Star Trek, to see what else I can address while I'm at it.
@@teacherofteachers1239 Best of luck! 👍
The Game! My favorite plot twist ending!
Great video👍
Cheers!
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Awesome content!
Thanks for watching!
Best wishes and health to you!!
Knives out is one of the best plot twist
Love a great mystery film!
Forget plot twists - just write an interesting story that moves us emotionally.
Man you really need an oscar
we want to help get you one :)
Anna look directly at him in the restaurant. That convinced me he was alive and she could see him. She DID interact with him.
Great! Thanx!
