Movie analysis is probably another term for a film critique.  A film critique is a reasoned, evaluative analysis of a film.  You may be asked to discuss the film using as much as you can of your acquired knowledge about what makes a film an effective and significant work of art.  \n\nA good film critique provides the reader with a basic idea of what the film is about. It provides the writer’s critical assessment of the success/failure or effectiveness/ineffectiveness of the film supported by the evidence the writer gathers from the film. It is more than a plot synopsis or the enthusiastic blurbs of publicity hype. For the writer, the critique is an opportunity to exhibit a critical awareness of the elements of the film as well as to share the delight and pleasure (or frustration and disappointment) the film offers the viewer.\n\nIf you're doing a movie analysis for a class, your instructor should have suitable guidlines for writing your analysis.  Theres literally hundreds of ways that you could about doing this.  Good luck!

You probably mean copyright rather than patent.  You can simply add copyright information to the cover (and header or footer of the document if you wish) which offers some protection.  To add a few more teeth to the copyright you may choose to register it with the US Copyright office ( more info here: http://www.copyright.gov )\n\nYou may find additional resources for screenwriters around the web.  There is a collection of such resources here: http://dmoz.org/Arts/Writers_Resources/Screenwriting/\n\nBest of luck

The book is true. Like any book turned into a movie the director or script writer make changes to the story. Sometimes it's leaving out things not considered important or sometimes they sew up loose ends so they can close the story without people expecting a sequel. \n\nSee the section Historical Errors for other changes made to the movie
