Abstract
Classical narrative cinema started creation in Hollywood in 1920. Compared to narrative films, non-linear narrative films have recently not only become more and more accepted among audiences and filmmakers but have inspired a great deal of exploration. The affiliation between characters and goals has generally become the main motivation to construct the story structure in narrative movies, which has an impact on editing and soundtrack in post-production. Fundamentally, in classical movies, narrative time and space develop the story plot and logic. However, Puzzle films refer to a narrower subset: complex cinema commonly has a specific structure, and it will offer unique presentation experience within ‘pervasive paradoxes’. They present impossible universe, despite the fact that are not performing physical impossibilities but principally including logical impracticalities, such as mutually special versions of events, twisting temporal lines and alternative paradoxes. Therefore, non-linear narrative storytelling demands a strict design of narrative complexity in impossible puzzle films.
