comparison of non linear film structure Pather Panchali and Taxi Driver

Ehren Penix
The film Pather Panchali has been hailed as a classic film by people the world over. ... Yet this film is inaccessible to most modern Americans due to its most innovative feature- its lack of strong narrative. In this paper, there will be an examination of the pros and cons of this type of film structure, along with a look at how two films with non-linear structure compare. ... The most common structure used today is the Three-Act structure. This structure is deeply ingrained in our American consciousness because we are immersed in it constantly.
