Well, I must give it five. Why? Because it was very interesting and quite revealing even for somebody like me, who isn't into "great movies" and doesn't plan writing for Hollywood. (By the way, the structure of Monteverdi's "Orfeo" seem to "follow" this described here structure to a point, though "L'Incoronazione di Poppea" much less so. Still... That dialogue at the very end about Pinnocchio and Snow Wite being too scary for children... What infantile and self-cheating times we're leaving in! )
