Plot points are linear links that make up the chain of traditional Aristotelian 3-act dramatic Structure. This classic Structure worked well in Hollywood for almost a century now. Although young movie makers are forcing the limits of this Structure, plot points still rule the day as the tent poles that hold up of the circus of our dreams. Here are the plot points of Blue (1993), a part of the Kieslowski trilogy, as I see them.
