part of the newer formula added in the 70's and is now a part of alomst every film. The self applause at the end. I can't stand any film that has the movie characters or extras applausing the hero at the end. That is my job to applause or hate it. I remember the audience used to applause movies at the and. Then the movies got bad and we stopped. Then the movies applaud themselves.I once heard a script reader for one of the big studios in an interview. He said he could accept or reject a script in 30 seconds. He said he started by turning to page 42(i think that was the number) and if there was no tense moment that would hold the viewer and allow a commercial break, the script was trashed. He could "read" 100 scripts a day that way.
The really sad part is that most of these standard script elements were established 50 years ago and have not changed. In the same way I love Lucy established the sitcom forumla that is still standard.
