I agree. The story fits the bill in regards to “filmmaking 101”
To quote the talented movie expert Mike Stoklasa:
“You see, in most movies the audience needs a character to connect with. Typically, this character is something called a protagonist. So in addition to being like an everyday lad, usually the protagonist is someone that’s down in their luck, in a bad place in their lives, or someone where everything just doesn’t always go perfectly for them.
Eventually they’ll be confronted with some kind of obstacle or struggle that they got to deal with, and if we like them, we hope they succeed! The drama in the film is the result of us rooting for them against opposition.
Eventually our protagonist will find themselves in the lowest point, where it seems like all is lost. But eventually, they’ll pull through and conquer whatever force opposes them.
It’s satisfying when our hero gets ahead from where they started off at. They make like a change. This is called an “arc.” Often, too, they’ll get the girl at the end as icing on the cake.”
