When Harry Met Sally begins with the characters hating each other and ends with them in love; Star Wars begins with a boy dreaming of space adventure and ends with him choosing faith over technology; Independence Day begins with its protagonists being disrespected and ends with them being respected—these opening states predict the ending states in nearly all well-structured films.

Evidence Quote

If you see a movie like When Harry Met Sally, they actually say they hate each other at the beginning...We know at the end they're going to end up together
