Hi Jean,

I really do appreciate your analysis but I?m just not sure you can generate this degree of analysis on the basis of the logline alone.

Also, I?m not sure that you?re taking into account recent changes in the logline.
Two people are having differences and they need to resolve them quickly before they can effectively battle a third party who is taking advantage of their conflict to push his own agenda ? burying the process. So the dramatic questions arising from the logline – for me – are – do they resolve their differences in time to confront the corporation and what is the final outcome?

Talking about antagonists and protagonists. Each plot line has its own antagonists and protagonists. The husband and wife conflict is the relationship plot which has its own protagonist and antagonist. The action plot also has a protagonist and antagonist. In fact, there?s more than one antagonist in the action plot.

Plus, parties in support of the protagonist later emerge to be antagonists. It?s not over-complicated ? it?s the nature of the spy genre which is all about deception and betrayal. There?s always plenty of switching sides and double-crossing.

Having said all that, I do find your 3 possible outcomes fascinating. I think number 2 comes closest but it?s too straight-forward. The story actually has a double-twist ending and involves the idea of ?Character is Fate in the denouement.

Talking about Notorious, I referred to that film in the context of my project being a suspense thriller like Notorious. And, the fact that Notorious has a strong relationship plot and my project cultivates the same purpose. I?m not trying to copy or borrow from any of those films. They are a source of inspiration.
