  • [a rule of the story structure, which states that] the first culmination (or midpoint) and the end of the film mirror each other. If the protagonist wins in the end of the script, then he should have a victory at the midpoint. If it’s a tragic ending for our hero, then he should also have a tragedy at the midpoint. (International Screenwriters' Association, 2017)
