Narrative structures in film have evolved from linear, classical Hollywood paradigms to embrace more complex and fragmented forms. Early cinema largely adhered to cause-and-effect linearity.

Contemporary cinema often employs multiple perspectives, unreliable narrators, and sophisticated temporal manipulation, challenging audience expectations and reflecting postmodern sensibilities.

Both are awesome in their own ways! 🎬🧠
