Episodic Structure In The Film Eve's Bayou '
I watched Eve's Bayou, it was the only movie I could get my hands on since I am not in the United States. I've watched it before but it was different watching it with a purpose and a structured thought process.
2. What type of dramatic structure does the film have - linear, episodic or thematic? Pick out any 2 successive scenes you think prove your opinion - analyze the transition from them to show how what links them is a contextual idea, an episodic shift from one storyline to another, or a direct logical cause and effect relationship.

Eve was talking to her sister Cesily about how she saw her father and Mrs Maddie (another woman) having sex in the shed while her mother, family and friends were inside the house. Eve was clearly distraught and emotional, telling her sister what she saw and Cisely stops her and says no that's not what you saw or what happened. The camera then pans from them and goes back in time to the incident. It's almost as if paned and move in a lazy Susan type of motion. In this scene Cisely explains to her sister Eve that what she actually saw was drunken harmless motions between their father and Mrs Maddie looking and dropping a bottle of wine.
The second scene that I proves this is a linear structured film is when Eve is with her father at work who is a local doctor. While he is attending to a patient in bed, ve watches the female patient act sick but peculiar with her father. Watching the film you know she is seriously flirting with him but Eve's character is young and naive and doesn't see the obvious flirting but knows something up. As they are about to leave the woman asks can the doctor give her something for her pain, he stops and walks over to the door and just before he closes it he tells Eve to go wait
