	Premise - Wikipedia
		A premise (sometimes spelled "premiss" in philosophy) is a statement presumed true within the context of a discourse, especially of a logical argument.
		Premises are land and buildings together considered as a place of business.
		This usage arose from property owners finding the word in their title deeds, where it originally correctly meant "the aforementioned; what this document is about".

		Over the past number of years, Bill assembled a number of essays on the subject of premise and promise into a self-published workbook which he sold at writers' workshops and on his website (www.storyispromise.com).
		The 1986 action thriller Die Hard is a film that Bill uses frequently in his classes and workshops as an example of a strong storyline underlying an action-packed plot.
		I know that sounds a little odd for a film with the line &qout;we need guns, lots of guns," but underlying the action, beneath the "plot" of the film, is this incredible, almost Buddhist theme of transcendence.

	Jonathon Delacour: March 2004 Archives
		Shooting on 16mm film stock, frequently with a handheld camera, Kore’eda blends scripted and unscripted dialog, delivered by amateur and professional actors, into an elegiac meditation on death, memory, love, loss, the illusion of filmmaking, Japanese social relationships, and the cost of the Pacific War.
		The negative responses to After Life are based mainly on two objections: that the film’s premise is ludicrous and the recollections of the characters’ lives are boring.
		In his favor, he appears to have eclectic (rather than predictable) tastes, he has a good understanding of mainstream commercial movies, and—as far as two films I’ve recently seen are concerned—I shared his enthusiasm for 21 Grams and thought he was critical of The Last Samurai for the wrong reasons.

		The film is worth watching twice, however, in that it’s one of those stories that’s a bit of a puzzle – and therefore is just as interesting once you know the solution.
		Where the film falls short is in the writing, and it should be noted that unlike earlier films, Mann did not write the screenplay for ‘Collateral’.
		Where the film succeeds is that it manages to bring back some of the trademarks of Miami Vice – a cityscape lovingly filmed in all it’s gritty glory, the use of recognizable songs rather than generic film score music, and baddies with consummate style and fashion sense.

		What we come to discover as the film progresses is that the estrangement between Grandpa and the rest of the family was all the result of a mistake Grandpa made, and his children not giving him a second chance to make it up to them.
		Our film shows the advantages and drawbacks of both these types of responses to life's challenges.
		We started coming up with the idea for this story when we were just weeks away from leaving for college, so thoughts of our past and what's been built for us and the future and what we can build for ourselves was central in our mind.

		Every once in a while a film comes along that is so inspired in its premise, yet so inept in its execution, that it immediately becomes a classic.
		Its premise is a golden one: Two men, a doctor named Lawrence (Cary Elwes) and an amateur photographer named Adam (Leigh Whannell), wake up in a disgusting restroom.
		At the screening I attended, the audience broke into laughter during a scene when Glover mourns the requisite loss of his partner, and it signaled the swap of the film from a decent horror flick with a good idea, to a must-see comic debacle.

		A nominee for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival, Steve James's (also director of 1995's Hoop Dreams) Stevie (2002) is one of most brutally honest and though-provoking American documentaries that I've ever seen.
		The real story of the sad life of a southern Illinois man, Stephen Fielding, and of his relationship with the director, this film has a great deal to say about life in Middle America, family values, child abuse, and a host of other difficult topics, and is absolutely unforgettable.
		Though some major flaws in the storyline are present, the simple premise of a man answering a phone, then being told by the voice on the other end that if he hangs up he will die, works surprisingly well.

		The film was then reedited to the music, instead of the other way around.
		The problem with the 1967 film is that, unlike most films made today (including the remake), viewers need to think and connect the dots; and, there isn't always a "right" ending with all details neat and tidy.
		This is still a classic of the caper films, with McQueen giving the definitive performance of his absolute-cool image, and Dunaway as the Joan Crawford of the Virginia Slims generation.

		Premise: During the 1982 Cannes Film Festival, Wenders asks a number of film directors from around the world to get, each one at a time, into a hotel room, turn on the camera and sound recorder, and, in solitude, answer a simple question "What is the future of cinema?".
		The premise is that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John H. Watson were school chums and as junior sleuths foil the murderous plot of an Egyptian cult.
		The film is great fun for fans of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s series of stories, because of the frequent references to the Holmes and Watson we all know in their later fictional lives.

	Screenwriting Tip Of The Day by William C. Martell
		The premise or character is the FRAMEWORK that you hang funny gags on.
		So when we come to a 92 minute "comedy" film like THE BROS (which I saw at the Raindance Film Festival back in 2001) you would expect it to have more than one joke.

		Some use premise as a kind of philosophical statement about what are actually the themes of the film.
		The truth of a premise is in the mind of its creator, but a good premise holds a value or an ethic that is universally identifiable.

		It wasn't that you spent eternity with nothing but this one memory from your life; it was that this one memory was the one thing you'd take with you into your next life, and whether that was some garden-variety reincarnation or more of a drop-in-the-ocean apotheosis was rather deliberately left unclear.
