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 plots led to the discovery of Mythosis Code. The Code reveals the story principles shared by all Blockbusters. We use the Code to estimate and unlock a story’s Blockbuster potential.
All Blockbusters are made up of at least 3 universal quests. The Map Of Tiny Perfect Things uses 2 universal quests of Accumulation & Social Contact.
In Blockbusters, each universal quest is mirrored by ONLY ONE character. Mark mirrors both the quests of Accumulation & Social Contact whereas Margaret has no quest.
Every Blockbuster character borrows at least 35% of the universal quest. Mark’s character borrows 44% from the quest of Social Contact & 28% from the quest of Accumulation.
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. The Map Of Tiny Perfect Things’ quest interweaving score is 0.
Blockbusters have a script score of at least 0.64 whereas The Map Of Tiny Perfect Things’ script score is 0.01. Based on the script score we estimate that the movie will appeal to 0.16-0.20 % of the population.
The Map Of Tiny Perfect Things’ has a weak plot structure since only one character has a quest. Moreover, the character journey is muddled by borrowing from 2 universal quests.
94% events in The Map Of Tiny Perfect Things are borrowed from 2 mythological tales
At Mythosis, we have identified 32 mythological tales. Each mythological tale uniquely represents a human quest to fulfil a desire. These tales are the super set of thousands of tales across cultures.
We have codified the events of each mythological tale. Every tale has 5 major arcs. Each arc has a sequence of events. These events culminate into a major event. Here is the mapping of each character’s quest to the major events in their respective mythological tale.
Quest 1: Mark mirrors 44% of Psyche’s quest for Social Contact (above threshold of 35%)
Mark’s desire for Social Contact stems from the need for a social companion. The tale of Psyche from Greek mythology is the fulfilled universal quest for Social Contact.
Quest 2: Mark mirrors 28% of Valmiki’s quest for Accumulation (below threshold of 35%)
Mark’s desire for Accumulation stems from the need to collect & own. The tale of Valmiki from Hindu mythology has a robust expression in Dicken’s character of Scrooge which is the unfulfilled universal quest for Accumulation.
