No - it seems like lately many films have been in the lower right quadrant. I think it shifts over time. Brief Encounter came out in 1945 – but it’s a British film, and many overseas/European stories seem to be in that same area.
To me it seems like everything was in the lower right (Obtaining, Future) during the 20th century, particularly in the middle. Then, at the turn of the century, everything moved to the upper left (Understanding, Past). Now it seems like everything is in the lower right (Learning, Present). You could say that the 70s were in the Upper Right (Doing, Progress), but that seemed brief.
It’s an interesting to think of. As far as similar storyforms … Collateral is the EXACT SAME storyform as Finding Nemo, so this similarity seems small in comparison!
