Any story is the quest to fulfil a human desire. We have identified universal quests for every human desire. These universal quests reveal the invisible plot structure of stories. An analysis of Blockbuster, Hit & Flop plot structures led to the discovery of Mythosis Code. The Code reveals the principles for creating Blockbusters. We use the Code to estimate a script’s potency and unlock its Blockbuster potential. Here is the evaluation of the plot structure of Miller’s Girl and its comparison with the plot structure of Disclosure.
All Blockbusters have at least 3 universal quests. Miller’s Girl uses only one universal quest of Power.
In Blockbusters, each universal quest is mirrored by ONLY ONE character. Cairo mirrors the quest of Power. Jonathan has an underdeveloped quest of Tranquillity. Winnie, Fillmore & Beatrice don’t have a quest.
Every Blockbuster character borrows at least 35% of the universal quest. Cairo character lacks depth as she borrows 20% of the quest of Power.
Blockbusters interweave different quests to create a tight plot structure. Interweaving occurs when events of 2 quests occur simultaneously in the story. Blockbusters have a quest interweaving threshold of 0.5. Miller’s Girl has a singular quest and hence no interweaving.
The Plot Structure of Miller’s Girl has a script score of 0.002. Based on the script score the movie will appeal to 0.05% of the population. We estimate the movie’s revenues from its audience appeal to be $1.5 – 2MM in the domestic market.
Miller’s Girl is Disclosure ending with Meredith successfully implicating Tom for sexual harassment. It is set in a different world but borrows only a fifth of Disclosure’s plot structure. The plot structure of Disclosure uses the 3 universal quests of Order, Honour & Power whereas Miller’s Girl partially uses the quest of Power. The script score of Disclosure is 0.25 and the estimated revenue is ~$250 – 280MM in the domestic market.
89% of events in the Miller’s Girl Plot structure are borrowed from 1 mythological tale
At Mythosis, we have identified 32 mythological tales. Each mythological tale uniquely represents a human quest to fulfil a desire. These tales are the superset of thousands of tales across cultures. They represent every possible human quest.
Every tale has 5 major arcs culminating in a major event. Mapping a character's quest to the relevant tale reveals the gaps in their quest. The ideal Plot Structure plugs these gaps by incorporating the missing events.
Quest 1: Cairo mirrors 20% of Circe’s quest for Power (below threshold of 35%)
Cairo’s desire for Power stems from the need to dominate others. The tale of Circe from Greek mythology is the universal quest for Power.
