Is screenwriting about structure? YES!
Societal structure. Rich and poor. Good and bad. Who's on top? Who's on the bottom? Why we should lock this guy up. Why we should help that girl out.
Humans have an invisible social structure and it's this structure that screenplays play in.
When you walk into a local restaurant and yell, "Give me the fuckin' filet!" You better know what part of the structure you are in. If you're some random person in town, 1) you're gonna probably be asked to shut up or 2) the police are going to drag you out of there. if you have a lot of money, own the restaurant, know the people in there, then maybe you get your filet.
