Beginning, Middle, End


A movie that has a good beginning, middle, and end is Apocalypto. The beginning of the movie already starts intense. Jaguar Paw and his family are captured. He has to protect his family from the dangers of incoming raiders. The raiders capture Jaguar Paw’s father, Flint Sky, and kill him. Jaguar Paw’s wife , Seven, whom is really pregnant, and his son , Turtle Run escape but are trapped in a deep vertical cave.
In every scene the direct has the audience on its feet. The middle of the movie occurs when Jaguar Paw is promised his freedom if he escapes the court.  Jaguar Paw manages to escape but he is injured in the process. The guys that captured Jaguar Paw go after him. Jaguar Paw has the advantage at this point because he goes back to his old village in search of his family.
At the ending of the movie, Jaguar reunites with his family. His wife has given birth to their newborn son. There are conquistador ships coming. Seven wants to greet them but Jaguar Paw is hesitant and tells them that they should go back to the forest and start a new life.
