Talk:Thunderclap (The Good Dinosaur)/@comment-11472367-20160604121131/@comment-28855125-20160626184342

If we look at the four types of conflicts in literature, I would have to disagree with the assumption that either the forces of nature or Thunderclap/raptors/etc are the main antagonist in this film. Instead, I think it is more appropriate to say that it is a conflict of 'man vs self', as the story revolves around Arlo's internal struggles much more than any external ones. Although the storm is a seemingly huge antagonistic force in the movie, I would like to point out that it isn't the storm itself that is stopping Arlo...but his own fears of it. Just for a quick example, The Day After Tomorrow is a movie that clearly shows a 'man vs nature' narrative, but the storm in The Good Dinosaur movie does not have that sort of impact.
