| The dialogue is, instead, almost entirely expositional, and the film is often confusing and generally fails to proffer believable motivations for the characters' behaviors. |
| While this is assumed for expositional ease in the model, whether or not it holds in practice is an empirical question. |
| We keep it simple for expositional purposes and trust the reader to see that the points made are robust with respect to such elaborations. |
| When the audience sees such things on the screen, it will derive from these images the equivalent of the words in the novel, or of the expositional dialogue of the stage. |
| Several expositional scenes are played out not with actors, but instead with text boxes and silhouette portraits of the characters, as we would see in an adventure game. |
| Flashback as memory therefore serves a more complex function here than mere expositional review. |
