I’m not sure about you, but I believe that the first 10-20 minutes of a movie give away the rest of the story. It is the same with a book and the first few pages. I could watch the first 20 minutes of Spider Man, with out knowing the story already, and be satisfied with out watching the rest of the movie. The movie opens with Peter Parker, a nerdy kid who can barely defend himself against all his enemies. It also reveals Norman Osborne, a brilliant doctor who’s life’s work is about to go down hill. Combine those two characters with a mutated spider bite and super human serum, and you get a perfect hero vs. villain story. This is all within the first 30 minutes of the movie. As you can see, it is not hard to picture what will come next. Another Perfect Example would be William Shakespeare’s Macbeth. In the beginning of the book, two major plot summaries are revealed. Deception and Cruelty are shown in the second which scene. The witches reveal that Macbeth will one day become king, but he will also become unloyal and deceiving to do so. Whether it is a book or movie, the beginning will always reveal what will come next.
