As in the Paul Haggis films Crash and The Next Three Days, this film's graph shows a brief introduction of the story moving into the future followed by a deep flashback that begins the storytelling again from some significant point in the past. The bulk of the movie is set in the past, moving through time to get back to–and cross–the Starting Point and then the Flashback Point, with the film eventually ending a brief time beyond where the story was suspended when the flashback occurred.
This method of storytelling in the past for the majority of a film’s running time, with a set-up and a wrap-up above the Starting Point on the graph is distinct, and more than merely the use of flashback. It is a form of story, a structure that I saw emerging on the graphs each night as I was watching for patterns.
