Our Film: Kung Fu Panda
Why We Chose It: The fact that the protagonist does not have the hero's ordinary characters at first, but changes into a hero would make an interesting analysis of the movie. The almost incredible voice casting of Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, and Jackie Chan was also interesting.
ACT I
1. Ordinary World
Working under the noodle restaurant chef, Mr. Ping (a goose), Po, the panda protagonist, admires the "Furious Five" and yearns to become a kung fu master.

Points of contention
As simple as the plot is, there was a controversy in what parts belong to numbers four through eleven. As "resurrection" is the part where a protagonist defeats his enemy, Tai Lung in this case, and it was not clear who the "enemies" would be. It was a difficult decision to make the "good guys" Po's enemies. Also, "reward" was another problem upon which we stumbled, as it could be interpreted as "meeting the mentor." Nonetheless, a good talk brought a point of consent.

Good choice, and I think you guys are bang on for the first act. But maybe the innermost cave is the Jade Palace. Every film will have its deviations from the path (which is not strict). Usually resurrection would have Po bouncing back from a near death experience. So I think Acts 2 and 3 have some mixups. All in all, good work.
답글삭제I like that you put up a couple pics. Even a trailer from youtube would be cool to brush up on the plot.
