Standard Hollywood narrative movies prescribe linear narratives
that cue the viewer to expect predictable outcomes and adopt a
closed state of mind. There are, however, a small number of movies
that, through the presentation of alternate narrative paths, open
the mind to thoughts of choice and possibility. Through the study
of several key movies for which this concept is central, such as
Sliding Doors, Run Lola Run, Inglourious Basterds, and Rashomon,
Nitzan Ben Shaul examines the causes and implications of optional
thinking and how these movies allow for more open and creative
possibilities. This book examines the methods by which standard
narrative movies close down thinking processes and deliver easy
pleasures to the viewer whilst demonstrating that this is not the
only possibility and that optional thinking can be both stimulating
and rewarding.
