In Darwin's time all of biology was a black box: not only the cell, or the eye, or digestion, or immunity, but every biological structure and function because, ultimately, no one could explain how biological processes occurred. ↗

Films must all have the same structure. All of this to guarantee box office bonanza, which of course it never does, but that's another discussion entirely. ↗
