I’ve been thinking that a film’s arc is like a quantum dance—each subplot a particle flitting, the climax a scattering event that changes everything, and the final act a sudden collapse that turns the mystery into a clear picture. In that sense, a little entropy can keep a story alive, breathing new possibility into each beat, but if it’s too high the narrative can turn into a cloud of ideas that never settle. The trick is to let the chaos ripple just enough to keep the audience guessing, then let the resolution catch a quiet moment where everything finally makes sense.

Exactly, think of it as a film‑soundtrack in a studio—every note has to travel the right path. If you let too many echoes bounce, the audience loses the main melody. So tighten the mix, keep the chorus loud, but still let the subtle riffs show up so the story feels alive, not just a single, flat note.
