HOW TO WRITE PLOT TWISTS
When executed well, plot twists in movies can be shocking and thrilling at the same time. The best pilot twist movies figured out how to deliver these reversals to the audience so they don’t feel cheated. Anyone can be revealed as the killer in the end, but writing plot twists that work requires thoughtful consideration, misdirection, and clues. In this video, we’ll look at some of the most compelling plot twists in movies and the three elements that every writer should consider when learning how to write the perfect plot twist.
WRITING PLOT TWISTS REQUIRES MISDIRECTION
A plot twist is when the storyteller flips reality on its head, presenting an unexpected truth that changes everything. Misdirection is a key element in how this is done - focusing the audience’s attention in one area while the truth is hidden in another. But there are unspoken rules when it comes to writing plot twists, the primary of which is that the big reveal needs to make logical sense. And to lay the groundwork for the plot twist to not feel like a cheat, the writer needs to incorporate clues, which we like to call breadcrumbs.
COMPELLING PLOT TWISTS HAVE CLUES
For a truly satisfying reversal, as we can see in the best plot twist movies, the writer and director should leave clues that are only apparent on a second viewing. Those tiny details that flew under the radar now appear to be so obvious in hindsight. This is easier said than done - since even the most casual movie-goer knows everything we see or hear is important. The trick is learning how to drop those breadcrumbs in such a way that the viewer can easily disregard them.
WHEN TO REVEAL THE PLOT TWIST
A final consideration is to decide when and where the big plot twist is revealed. Naturally, every story is different, so there is no “one size fits all” approach to structuring compelling plot twists. Some of the best plot twist movies flip the script at the midpoint when the last thing you expect is for the story to take a completely different direction. In many cases, the best plot twists are unveiled as a break into Act 3, propelling the story toward its climax. Some filmmakers save their shocking reveal for the very end, leaving the audience slack-jawed as the credits roll.
The art of a plot twist is a delicate balance between the amount of misdirection, the dispensing of clues, and where in the story the plot twist will have the greatest impact.

Went back to watch the Prestige after reading your comment. Has to be at least 10 years since the last time I watched it. You're right, there were clues peppered throughout. Also I wondered at the end of the rewatch, did Angiers kill himself? (did his copy kill him) Nolan always does this thing in his movies where he leaves a fundamental aspect of the main character's reality up for interpretation. I watched the scene over and over again and thought, his copy shot him didn't it, that's why he says "I'm the..."

One of my favorite plot twists was the character reveal in Spider-Man: Homecoming, when Liz’s dad opens the door for Peter and we realize (along with Peter) that Liz’s dad has been the Vulture this whole time. The clues to Vulture being Liz’s dad were all there for the audience to pick up on throughout the film; It was Liz’s drawing in the opening flashback and Liz’s family is rich since her dad has been stealing and selling Stark/Chitauri Tech. All the clues were there and all the dots were connected, but because of how the story was structured and how information was withheld from the audience, it made for a fantastic reveal where everything made sense and left us with a sense of dread for what happened next for Peter Parker/Spider-Man.

If a plot twist when handled well, it can be better on rewatch. Sixth Sense, Memento, and Fight Club are great examples of plot twists done well in movies. If not handled well, it can make the audience feel like they've been cheated, like Don't Worry Darling or Serenity (2019).

One of the worst plot twists is Now You See Me, where we learn at the end that Mark Buffalo’s character was ine if the henchmen all along. But during the runtime of the movie we never get a single clue ir a breadcrumb that would hint this. Even when Mark’s character is alone without anyone around, he still acts like he is frustrated because of the wizards’ actions

@andrewt6802 11 ай бұрын

I love The Village despite people's criticism of it, but my one problem is that the movie doesn't emphasize enough that they're supposed to be in the 1800s. One of the first shots in the film shows a gravestone claiming that the person just died in 1898 or whatever, but it's only a split second shot, and the movie doesn't emphasize enough that they're supposed to be in the late 1800s, so that made it possible for some people to figure out the twist before the end. Amish and Hutterite etc. type communities exist in the modern world and the movie doesn't emphasize enough that that's not what they're supposed to be, making it too easy for some people to see the plot twist coming and not making the plot twist shocking enough.

I think it was more of an initial reaction to the marketing and not the story itself. It was marketed as this edge-of-your-seat horror/thriller and is in fact a much slower, deeper, and more compelling story that much of the audience was either not ready for or not expecting.

That John Truby quote at the start was actually enough for me to explain why some of the supposed 'plot twists' I've experienced felt lame. Compared to great ones like Sixth Sense and Shutter Island, the bad ones were all like shocking for maybe 1 second but then when you think about it, barely has changed anything plot-wise. So it was more like a story with a peculiar conclusion rather than a twist.

@WillN2Go1 7 ай бұрын

Good video. Thanks. What I really enjoyed in the Village was the use of the word 'Alley.' I think the line was "He was attacked in an alley." In the context it seems shockingly modern and anachronistic. It is however a word from the 14th century. The plot twist in the Sixth Sense is not that we lean that Bruce Willis' character is a ghost, we've suspected that all along -- but it's undermined. The big surprise is our reaction to Willis' character finding this out. The Sixth Sense is full of 'ghost' troupes from movies, the ghost is seen, he can't interact physically with the world.... I don't remember any of these specifically, but I clearly remember picking up on 'movie ghost code,' but then dismissing it because of new information. It is Shyamalan's best movie I think because of this greater depth. Instead of us the viewers being surprised and shocked, we are emotionally connected to the character and his shock.

@ebbyc1817 3 ай бұрын

maybe because you saw the movie 20 years later or maybe because you're a movie buff who has seen so many that you're hard to surprise, but the Bruce Willis character reveal was a huge plot twist, in itself.

I agree with you. I meant to write that the ''ghost IS seen, but he can't interact physically,' And yes I did apply what I've seen in a lot of movies, especially Kon Ichikawa's The Burmese Harp. So I did think 'ghost,' but then, nah.. So M. Night Shamaylan really surprised me at the end. He did a great job. @@ebbyc1817

Great list. I love all of those too. People don't talk about Angel Heart (1987) NEARLY enough, though. SPOILERS: It even includes breadcrumbs in character names (De Niro's character "name"). Shutter Island uses a similar technique, but it's much harder to unscramble an anagram than it is to notice phonetical similarities... Some of my favorite plot twists of ALL TIME are in Bong Joon Ho's "Mother" (2009) and Park Chan Wook's "The Handmaiden" (2017), which is pretty much a game of "plot twist cat-and-mouse" with the audience. Both directors feature in your list, btw...

I was afraid this video would have the same plot twist I've seen in so many KZfaq videos. You know, the one where you're led to believe you're going to see a good, well-researched presentation but it turns out to be an AI-generated piece of crap. I was very pleased that no reversal took place here, as well with the work and attention to detail that went into this. :D

Incendies and Mulholland drive also have one of the smartest and unexpected mind-bending plot twists of all time 🙌

@MisterGames 8 ай бұрын

Mulholland drive is much underrated, or just not well known. But begs the question, was he set up, or was he delusional the entire time? The way Tim Robbins smiles tells me set up brilliantly, but you never know right?

@@MisterGames I read the movie explaination and try to fit it together and from what I understand, the idea is about fantasizing about some one's famous lives and the disappointement when you wake up in the reality and all the glamorizing staff disappears and the real ones slice us over ! If I get it right, I haven't seen other movies discuss such idea in such surreal way so I respect that even though I don't like the movie itself but as I said Mind-bending plot twist you couldn't or at least I didn't get it easily 😉🙌

@michaelproctor6122 11 ай бұрын

Although not a film, the tale of Jenny & Screech & Violets tale a 3 part music video in that order by the independent British music artist Ren has one of the most surprising, unexpected, sad & thought provoking endings I and many KZfaq viewers have witnessed. Ren has even talked about approaching Netflix with some ideas to turn this into a short film. For any music buffs reading this its worth watching as all 3 videos are one shots and live. Ren is one of those artist you can't pigeonhole into one category of music style but he has called this particular music tale as Bardcore like a modern day Minstrel.

Coincidentally, earlier this morning I started rewriting, just as an exercise, an ancient Star Trek episode with two miserably executed plot twists that end up having no bearing on the main story problem. I have no creative writing experience, so this is just an idea for a homework assignment for myself I came up with.

@StudioBinder 11 ай бұрын

That sounds like a great exercise!

@@reptiliannoizezz.413 Thanks for asking - chugging along, surprisingly enough! I'm helped by the fact that someone, I guess in the far internet past, posted transcripts. This is mostly dialogue (television being pretty dialogue heavy). This is helping me to mark up where some of the fixing can be done just by deleting some bits of dialogue, changing others. I've also listened to three different podcasts where people analyze this episode of Star Trek, to see what else I can address while I'm at it.

Normally, I know how to write a great plot twist. One of my favorite short stories I’ve ever wrote is only three pages and I scattered breadcrumbs, and it still wasn’t obvious but it makes sense. Right now I’m struggling with simply what I want to plot twist to be. There’s this one character who just has a clearly different vibe than the others but I’m not sure how to turn that into a twist.
