Narrative structure
Exposition – meeting the characters, establishing the
setting: setting the tone – establishing the normal of the film
world •Rising Action – the central conflict is introduced and
the tension between the protagonist and the antagonist
begins to mount
Exposition - meeting Catherine, knowing her life better, what she is
doing, story about her daughter,her typical life. Complication - Tommy
Lee is introduced, Catherine recognises him as he rapped her
daughter.
Climax- Tommy and Ashley kidnapped Ann and Catherine tries to
chase them. Moreover Tommy realised that her grandson is his biological
son and tells him that he is his father.
Climax – The climax is the turning point, which
marks a change, for the better or the worse, in the
protagonist’s future. •Resolution – the creation of
the new normal. The conflict is resolved
Todorov's theory.
Equlibrium =everything seems normal and calm.
Disruption = crime. Resolution = crime solved. New
equilibrium is produced to end of the narrative.
Equilibrium = usual Catherine's life , policewoman days, grandson.
Disruption = Ann's kidnapping. Resolution = Catherine caught
Tommy and beat him almost to death. New equilibrium = some
kind of change for Catherine as she finally caught Tommy(for
kidnapping and daughter's rape). The final scene is she looks on the
mountain,sun shines and she smiles.
