As Oliver Silver sat down to write a screenplay, he realized that he couldn't type a word. It was as if the part of his brain that produced ideas had a power breakdown. Suddenly, an 'idea' struck him. Not an idea for a story but for something else. He decided to take some 'inspiration'. He realized that he could analyze existing films and maybe, that could give him ideas. According to him a successful movie is the movie that receives a thumbs up from the audience. However, he also wanted his movie to make money at the box office. He proceeded to check if there is a pattern that would help him write the script for a movie that is going to receive good ratings and be successful.
