In 24 hours she is forced into increasingly degrading and dangerous situations to save her loser boyfriend from a situation of his making only to realise she is better off with a broken heart than with a loser she loves.

>>>I am never afraid of spoilers. I think they are needed.

You raise some interesting questions.

Let me clarify that by “spoiler” I am specifically referring to how the film ends, the final answer to the dramatic questions (objective and/or subjective). ?As distinct from “spoiler” as in a Big Reveal or Plot Twist that pivots the trajectory of the story in a different direction. [Big Reveals and Plot Twists are a distinguishing feature of the Midpoint Reversal (MPR) — and that’s certainly okay to have in a logline.]

Now then. I like to think I’ve matured enough to never say never, to realize that every rule has an exception.? However, I have yet to encounter a justifiable exception to the “never give away the ending in a logline” rule.

The purpose of a logline is to pitch the script, to induce movie makers to read it.? Perhaps, there is a case where the ending is so awesome, so unusual, so interesting, so one-of-a-kind that giving it away in the logline is justifiable.? It’s irresistible bait on the story hook: movie makers will want to read the script to see how that ending is worked out.

But the general? reason for not giving away the ending is because it is a tried-and true sales strategy: it piques reader curiosity.

Can you point to two or three movies where you think it would have been justifiable for the writer to spoil the ending in a logline? Where, in fact, the logline pitching the script did give away the ending?

Taking your logline at face value, what is so awesome, so unusual, so one-of-a-kind about her coming to her senses and dumping the dud of a dude? It seems to me that happens often enough in movies and all the time in real life.

Now, if the story has a unique, never-been-done twist to that particular character arc, great.

What is it?

And if there isn’t, then why expend precious logline space on that character arc, precious space that might better be spent highlighting more interesting features of the script.

Just saying.
