A Man Who Has Nothing In Particular To Recommend Him Discusses All Sorts of Subjects at Random as Though He Knew Everything

Happy Birthday, Wolfie

All movies have exposition. It’s easier in books. You just write it down. In movies, you end up with some character reading a phone book now and again. If you’re trying to explain things to your film audience, look to the theater, so you can explain complex things in a film engagingly. The seams don’t show. Like this:

Happy Birthday, Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart. Sorry we didn’t get you anything.
