He has spoken against the "three-act structure" and the "hero's journey" formulas, which are often regarded as axiomatic truths in the business [14] [ clarification needed]. perhaps his most famous example of this is in 24 Hour Party People where the character of Anthony Wilson states that “Scott Fitzgerald said there are no second acts in American lives. This is Manchester. We do things differently. This is the second act” which Cottrell-Boyce has stated was due to criticism of the script not following the three act structure.
