Todorov's theory - Maleficent

Todorov's Equilibrium and disequilibrium theory applies to the film Maleficent. In the opening scenes, an equilibrium is represent. There is peace and maleficent has her wings and is happy. At 0:15, it mentions a "vain and greedy king", which suggests that a disequilibrium may happen. From 1:35 onwards, it shows Maleficent flying around and greeting many of the other inhabitants of the land. They all greet her in a friendly manner.

These shots are helping to the appearance of an equilibrium.

In the next clip, the equilibrium is disturbed. This is what Todrov refers to as the disequilibrium. At 3:00, Maleficent awakes to find that her wings have been stolen from her. This is a disruption from her previously peaceful life. The disequilibrium also comes in the form of Maleficent turning from good to evil.

Between that clip and this clip, Maleficent transformed from a good character to an evil, villainous character. In this clip, she recognises that a disorder has occurred, and reveals that she is wants to fix it. 

At 1:40, she stands over sleeping beauty and confesses that she does not expect to be forgiven for what she did because it is unforgivable. She also shows some intentions of bringing back her equilibrium, as she swears that sleeping beauty will be protected where she lies. 

Then, there is the final scene, in which equilibrium is restored. Maleficent has had her wings returned to her and sleeping beauty has been awakened. Maleficent has changed her ways and returned to her kingdom, which is now happy and peaceful as it was before.
