 Equilibrium/Todorov



Still video from MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE ROGUE NATION (2015)


Proppian character: Ethan ‘the hero’

 

Equilibrium: The begging scene were the agent contacts Benji.

 

Disruption : in the scene where the doors of the plane close and it begins to take off.

 

New equilibrium: When Ethan is discovered and the doors open and then he is ejected from the plane, it is a new balance because the mission is completed.

 

In media res: the first scene would actually be disequilibrium because the imbalance has already occurred (but since I'm analyzing that specific scene then it would be equilibrium compared to the later scenes)

 

Multi perspective narratives: The characters are involved in the event in real time but from different perspectives and communicate through networks (waquie talkie/communicators). All the characters have their function and do their tasks differently.

 

The purpose of the extract is to show through missions, action and challenges how the 'hero and his helpers' resolve the conflict caused by the villain. Ethan with the help of Benji and the entire team manages to access the plane and get the packages off the plane. The hero and his assistants resolve the conflict.
