Morning Glory - Feature Film

Morning Glory.

First scene immediately exposes Becky's obvious Character Flaw: Workaholic.

Must create empathy for character in beginning, fired from job, underdog, hard worker.
Becky


After Act 2 downfall - Protagonist is usually pulled out of funk with the help of an ally e.g Amelie, and the old man tape.

Good Will Hunting - Chuckie gives Will a reality check.

Harrison Ford tells her to stay with Daybreak in a rare show of affection by doing the egg show.


------
Character and subplot sometimes share the same character flaw, (usually in an older ally) to show that the protagonist must change in order to avoid making the same mistakes.

Harrison Ford and Becky are both workaholics. They put their work before family and love. Ford regrets doing that as it resulted it his bad relationship with kids and grand kids due to his absent parenting.

Amelie - Glass man with brittle bone tells Amelie to go out and risk getting hurt or she will end up old and alone like him.

Good Will Hunting - Will will end up like Chuckie working in menial jobs like construction if he doesn't fully utilize his genius for a better life.

------
All subplots must be closed - or brought to a closure.
