Talk:Flashback (narrative)

message: : In Cold Case, each episode begins with a flashback scene establishing the year in which it is set.
I'm guessing that the main story is set in the present, and the flashback establishes the time of the original crime.  Yes?  —Tamfang (talk) 18:39, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

message: In my opinion they are totally overused, for me Lost ruined them completely till they became cliche. Hell, I couldnt even watch Crusoe for more than 5 minutes... the second I saw it was going to based heavily on flashbacks it was like *yawn*. 125.238.20.25 (talk) 09:37, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Your Flashbacks. 

message: I know the old adage about fixing it yourself, but does anyone else feel this page would really benefit from a good trim? At the moment it reads like a collection of examples from slightly odd sources, such as "Ice Age: The Meltdown". Wouldn't this be better simply as a shorter explaination of the term than a big collection of crufty examples? I'm going to try a prune, but won't be surprised if it's reverted.

thread_title:  Improvement? 

message: The Racconto article is a stub with very little on it. It would be better served to have that information included as an extra section in the Flashback article to explain the differences between the two. More laypeople know "Flashback" than "Racconto," so it would be more educationally beneficial to have them as a single article. Spidey104contribs 19:03, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge proposal 

message: Save for one attempt, every episode of the series had somebody or other winding up dead. Even the one time they didn't die, Jess told how so-and-so did it. What about including  the 12-season example of the flashback?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.42.156.69 (talk) 03:34, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Murder, She Wrote 

message: Quote: This technique is a hallmark of Kannada movie director Upendra whose futuristic flick Super (2010) is set in 2030 and contains multiple flashbacks ranging from 2010 to 2015 depicting a utopian India.
No references, smacks of marketing, I don't see how it is a relevant example. Some other examples are also a little weak but can all be justified as a 'type', a particular film noted for the use of flashback
or examples of early uses. There are literally thousands of films made in 2010 all over the world, I don't see the relevance of this, I think unless one is supplied. Can anyone second this by deleting and watching it isn't re-added?Filmmaker2011 (talk) 16:56, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  This kind of thing is not useful here? 

message: I think, some examples, like the Sinbad stories are rather a frame story than a flashback. Flashbacks contribute to the story, while the frame story just gives a frame to the "real" story.--Tocca (talk) 08:51, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Flashback vs. Frame story 

message: It's by no means a 'first' example, as there are some older examples mentioned in the article already, including the 1931 City Streets, but I think it stands out as it goes through the effort of explaining to the viewer what a flashback is just before employing the narrative device.
