Thematic Statement - Save the Cat Beat Sheet

The Thematic Statement, in other words, is in reference to a thesis.  Thesis being the answer to the theme.  The thematic question so to speak.

So like in batman when Alfred say, "Why do we fall? To better learn to pick ourselves up."  This is an argument, a belief that supports one of the thesis' being illustrated in the story.

So the thematic Statement is not the Theme.  It supports the thesis that couplets with the theme.

Theme in Batman Begins:
What makes a good vigilante?
Thesis: Someone who uses their power to help better the criminal.
Thematic statement:  "we fall to learn how to grow so look for that in others as well."
