The art of story telling

Since I barely have time to watch movies, I will switch my blog content from movies to something more fundamental to the movies - story telling. In multiple classes, readings, conversations at my business school, this sentiment reverberates - A compelling story is what sells the product. We are encouraged to give stock pitches in the form of simple stories, we are taught the components of a good story - the beginning, a middle, and an end. While learning all of this, one thing struck me - I have been watching so many movies before business school, now I can put all of those movies in this 'story' context. Analyze movies through a new lens, and translate my movie watching experience to something important - the art of story telling!
