Megamind : Non - Linear Narrative

Film Review: Megamind

Megamind uses many non-linear narrative devices while telling its story these include Flashbacks, Forth wall Breaks and stream of consciousness.

Forth wall break

The movie starts with Megamind monologing to the audience about the situation he is in as he's falling to what is assumed to be his death. his monolog is to the audience breaking the 4th wall.

Flashback

after his monolog he start to describe how he got to earth and the events that transpired to get to this point. meaning most of the movie is actually a flash back. Even within this flashback we are told about past events of another person having yet another flashback of another character.

Stream of consciousness

For large segments of the movie the character is speaking in the format of his stream of consciousness. This is one of the storytelling devices of non-linear storytelling. This is most prevent when we catch up to the start of the movie and where with his consciousness as he comes up with a way out of his death predicament.

Chronicle Method

as the movie is the character telling stories of how thing took place the storytelling of the movie is Linear as we follow the story in a straight line as he tells us the story of the events and move on to the point where the story ends and the action continues.
