Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# 美国电影剧作案例(American Case Studies)

> **输出语言=提问语言**;术语一律锚回原词,见 [sw-workflow/terms.md](../sw-workflow/terms.md),不自创译名。

这是一个**范例库**:每个案例给出一句话故事、结构要点、可迁移的手法。主要来源梅峰《编剧的自修课》(西部片/神经喜剧/怀尔德/希区柯克/《改编剧本》/《米尔德丽德·皮尔斯》/五部奥斯卡原创剧本)、沃尔特《剧本》(《美国风情画》亲历、《物质享受》练习)、《故事创作大师班·好莱坞卷》(伯恩/银河护卫队/疯狂动物城/雷神/冒牌老爸/41 天)、霍克斯特(《冬天的骨头》《乔乔》)、斯奈德(《特工佳丽》)、菲尔德(《唐人街》《网络》)、麦基(《卡萨布兰卡》《唐人街》)。原理性内容见各 skill;这里只留"这部片是怎么做的"。 补充范例与分析表见 [reference.md](reference.md)。

## 一、类型研究:好莱坞西部片(梅峰)

- **类型**=带文化特征的规范工业制作品集合;"类型不是套路而是一种原型",研究要建立**惯例系统和变化系统**;类型消亡两因:不坚持规则或没把握时代脉搏。
- **价值对**:每个类型有恒久价值对,"问题不变,对问题的看法变";西部片=文明 vs 野蛮。价值必须变成事件,渗透在人物设置关系场景情节中。
- **《双虎屠龙》细读**:双主人公汤姆(牛仔"西部自有西部的法律")vs 兰塞姆(东部律师);对立反复重复(力量、装束、对枪的态度、对执法官态度、情敌);枪=通行证(学会用枪=克服内心障碍;失去枪=失败);配角林克给主人公施加推动力、在适当场次重复、通常不转变;价值对立可在单一角色身上(哈莉不识字);餐馆一场同一价值对多次流转;仙人掌玫瑰出现的场次都是关键价值所在;"传统类型片人物携带的价值类别基本稳定但价值观在全片不断移动";结尾落在哪一价值就是全片态度(社区抛弃真正的执法人牛仔选择外乡人)。
- **标准流程**:西部人(外来者神秘背景特殊本领)进入社区不被承认→非己意愿介入(亲友受威胁)→恶势力远强→想避免卷入终被裹进→斗争结束→被接受或离开。50 年代三部(《折箭为盟》《正午》《荒漠怪客》)旅程从社区内部开始,**社区民众才是最大敌人**。
- **四组对立**:西部人 vs 社会民众;民众 vs 恶势力;西部人 vs 恶势力;西部人 vs 外部世界——每组可推主人公朝两个方向。
- 西部人英雄→反英雄→另类英雄,"面对邪恶是正义代言人,面对政府秩序是无政府主义者",高潮常落在与两方面关系同时紧张的局面;印第安人从反派惯例到《与狼共舞》;女性是"活化"西部人的关键(文明使者/被拯救者/诱惑者);社区从纯洁小镇到虚伪腐败的最顽固阻力。

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jtydhr88/screenwriting-skills/sw-american-case-studies@sha256:a136e1232a3b2d99

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.92022d2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
