Film Review: The Incredibles

Rewatching The Incredibles was a lot of fun and a great trip down memory lane, however this time I had to watch it whilst trying to identify the story vs the plot.

Which is an idea that compares the story; the who, what and where (within the film). Relates and compares to the plot; how, when and why. So, in short the plot leads the story and creates a film, as the plot dictates why things are happening to the characters and story aspects inside the film. 

In The Incredibles the story vs plot aspects merge like this: Syndrome (the antagonist) comes up with a process of killing off the superheroes and tricks the Incredibles family into getting on board. Depicting the company in a good light with the intention of working with super heroes to stop all crime in the city. For the plot reasons of Mr Incredible treating Syndrome poorly when he was a child. Because of this Syndrome tries to cause masses of mayhem and kidnap Mr Incredibles youngest child in order to raise it and make Mr Incredible feel as bad as he made Syndrome feel.
