Style Structure

Thesis-driven essay
1. Opening thesis (15s): "This film isn't really about [surface topic] — it's about [deeper theme]"
2. Body (3min): Argument point 1 → evidence from scenes → Argument point 2 → evidence → Argument point 3 → synthesis
3. Closing (30s): Return to thesis with earned conviction. No forced uplift.
