Ever notice how much every movie follows the same plot line and pattern, so much so, that you can set your watch by it. Here it is ...
The Introduction - The short moment in the beginning of the movie that has you listening to characters explain themselves and their past.
The point - The short moment that follows the Introduction that explain what this movie will be about, and offer at least a couple subtle points that will be major in the end. (Example, a small character mentioning something they know, someone they know or a history they share)
The false climax - The point in the movie that makes you think, "If it stopped right here, all would be good in the world"
The conflict - The time in movie when all falls apart, the characters have something revealed they wanted hidden, or something happens that makes everyone seek out what seems like chaos.
The resolution - The time in the movie when people put aside their differences and remember they need to stick to the point and get back on track.
The conclusion - This is when those subtle points come out from "The point" that you hardly noticed, but now you go "Oh, now I see it" and you end up coming to the end and thinking, "What a ride" and all is good in the movie world ... unless it wants a sequel, in which the last five too ten seconds do something that makes you go, "Where too now?"
What a ride! Except for it is the same ride in all movies. I just sit there watching each part reveal themselves and they never let me down. Anyone else notice this about modern cinema?
