Todorov's Theory
Blood Diamond
State of equilibrium- the state of equilibrium is the family's of Africa are under attack by the rebels who kill many family's and take the children to become child soldiers to fight against the soldiers who are trying to stop the rebels from growing and becoming more powerful, and some of the men are taking to be diamond miners.
Disruption by event- a fisherman was picking his son up from school after finishing his work. as they are walking back they see the rebels coming to attack their home town and the people within it. they then start running back to their village to be confronted by many deaths and fighting happening.
Recognition of disruption- the fisherman tries to get his wife and kids away from the village to survive. however he is beaten up by one of the rebels and tells his wife and kids to run. the fisherman is then made to become a diamond miner along with many other men. further in he is reunited with his wife, then he finds out his son was taken by the rebels and made to become a soldier.
Attempt to repair damage- he joins team with a ex-mercenary smuggler after he finds out the fisherman hid a very large diamond. in return of giving him this they will attempt to find his son.
A return of reformation of a new equilibrium- the fisherman then finds his son after lots of fighting, and is reunited as a whole family. they then live happily ever after with the money from the diamond that he pawned to a diamond dealer in the UK.
