Story is action
• Action is any kind of activity, movement, interaction of characters with their surroundings
• Talking about feelings is not as powerful as illustrating why you feel this way through your actions.

Film is behavior
• Actions are simply the manifestations of behavior
• Human emotions are understood by watching the actions and reactions of the characters.
