Todorov's theory states that there are five stages in a film,
these stages are:
1) A state of equilibrium.
2) Disruption of the equilibrium.
3) Recognition of the disorder.
4) Attempt at restoring the equilibrium.
5) A new equilibrium is created.
Example: Pirates of the Caribbean
1) A state of equilibrium = Noble life in a well defended stronghold.
2) Disruption of the equilibrium = Pirates attack and kidnap Elizabeth Swan
3) Recognition of the disorder = A chase of the pirates begins.
4) Attempt at restoring the equilibrium = A large fight against the pirates however they cannot die.
5) A new equilibrium is created = The pirates are no longer immortal and surrender.
