1. Todorovs theory
Equilibrium:
The equilibrium will be brought through the scene where the two main characters, Ronnie
and Harry, are young boys playing football in the street. This will show the audience that
they have been lifelong friends and that they always stick together.
Disruption:
The disruption will be brought in through detective Richard Wilson confronting Ronnie in his
house and showing him his file with a piece of information which nobody should know and
could be the end of Ronnie as a free man. However, the detective gives him an offer which
would mean in return for him keeping this information quiet, Ronnie will have to become an
informant and tell the police investigating the mob everything they are doing in hope that it
will aid the police in taking them down.
Realization:
In the trailer, the realization will come from the fact that many of the mob’s operations are
getting busted by the police and that they acquire information telling them that they have a
mole in their operation.
Restored order:
The order will come through Harry agreeing to help Ronnie with the situation that he is in by
taking down what they have worked so long for as their friendship is worth more to Ronnie.
Equilibrium again:
This will be when Ronnie and Harry have taken down the mob and now have nothing left.
They decide to start their own gang using everything that they have learnt and change the
rules so that everything is fair and that no mistakes will be made again to stop this whole
thing from happening again.
