There may be more than 3 acts in a play but the most common is that there are 3, these are marked by events that mark a before and after the play. for example in Titanic the first act It ends when Rose and Jack meet, then the second act begins and this same one ends at the moment they accuse Jack of the theft of Rose’s diamond since from that moment The ship begins to sink, and again there is a change of plot and tone in the movie.
