But I'm growing tired of the current popular trend in filmmaking that jumps from one time period to another. I understand the validity of the tool to control the viewers understand of the character, but as the one watching the film, it can be a little tedious to constantly adjust my perspective and try to remember all of the corresponding details of the constantly changing time frames. When used in films, it should be done very sparingly. This is really a vehicle best used in books where the reader can pause and absorb the information at their own pace.
