Propp Theory

When looking at The Red Curtain trilogy, the propp theory fits perfectly to all of Luhrmanns films. I have used Strictly Ballroom as the example when looking into narratives in my dissertation. Scott Hastings is the hero, Barry Fife as the villian, Rico as the donor, Doug Hastings as the dispatcher and finally Fran as the princess/reward.

As you can see this theory fits perfectly within Strictly Ballroom, and the other film narratives can fit within this theory.
