Analysis

Plot Structure (The Eyes of Laura Mars) applies the Two Approaches framework, reading the film in the better-tools-insufficient quadrant — Laura's post-midpoint approach (act inside the love, accept the gun, exercise her own judgment when it counts) is the sound play given what she knows, and the world has structured the sound play as the trap. Backbeats (The Eyes of Laura Mars) narrates the film in 40 turns anchored to the framework's rivets, with structural summaries.
