             Describe how Proppian methodology is fitting and state how spheres of action are utilised within the film Mission Impossible 2
            
             Vladimir Propp invented Proppian methodology in 1928 and he called it "The morphology of the folk tale." He believed that's each piece of story based text had a formula. He said that each story had 32 phases that they went through, and there were always 8 particular characters featured in each: The Hero

He boards a flight with Dimitrei, his supposed helper, to take the disease to America, and suddenly a state of disequilibria is set as, Dimitrei "the false hero" is unmasked to be "villain" after he stages the death of Dr Nekhorvich, and the crashing of the plane leaving him and his "helpers" Willis and Hugh to escape with the $35 million dollar deadly disease, part of their prominent major scheme. "A member of the family/community is harmed" and "false hero is unmasked" Propp's theory continues to prove accurate.
             We are then introduced to the real hero Ethan Hunt. The "hero" is firstly displayed in an inhumanly dangerous situation. He is struggling with a hot sandy surface of a cliff face without any aid. In one part he fall...
