    >>>He discovers that they were responsible for the death of his fiancee.

    Surely that would be the inciting incident then.

    After discovering his family are responsible for his fianc?’s death…

    Sullen IT manager: I think there may be a better way to describe this guy. The characteristic (sullen) is usually something that can help represent the character’s internal arc in the story (selfish -> compassionate / sad -> happy) so think how you could use this to your advantage. By telling us he’s an IT Manager, we can assume that this comes into play somehow i.e. he uses his knowledge of technology to take down his family. If it has no bearing on the story then maybe make his profession something that could come into play.

    Hope this helps.

    After his prizefighter abandons him, an oldfashioned trainer takes on a stubborn woman to train her for a championship challenge.

    It’s been a while since I’ve seen the film but does’t he eventually agree to train her because she keeps badgering him and eventually, with some persuasion from Morgan Freeman (who’s been giving her pointers on the side), he gives in? Not sure how that works as an inciting incident though…?

    He has no interest in training her because she’s a woman. Without specifying that his prizefighter is male I think an important aspect of the story is lost.

    I agree that Clint Eastwood’s the main character although a case could be made for a dual protagonist given how intertwined their stories are.

    Tricky one!

    What's the guy's goal??What's the inciting incident? Is this the entire film summed up or just the set up? Check out the formula tab for formatting guidance.

    What’s the guy’s goal??What’s the inciting incident?

    Is this the entire film summed up or just the set up? Check out the formula tab for formatting guidance. At the moment this sounds like the set up because you’re telling us what’s already happened rather than telling us what the protagonist is going to try and make happen.

    How does the fact that he’s suicidal play into the story?

    Hope this helps.
