18 Genius Pieces Of Movie Exposition

Tell it like it is...

Mad Max III: Beyond Thunderdome (1985)

The Exposition: "I'm looking behind us now, across the count of time, down the long haul, into history back. I sees the end what were the start. It's pox-eclipse, full of pain! And out of it were birthed crackling dust and fearsome time. It were full-on winter and Mr. Dead chasing them all.
 
But one he couldn't catch. That were Captain Walker. He gathers up a gang, takes to the air and flies to the sky! So they left their homes, said bidey-bye to the high-scrapers and what were left of the knowing they left behind. Some say the wind just stoppered.
 
Others reckon it were a gang called Turbulence. And after the wreck some had been jumped by Mr. Dead but some had got the luck, and it leads them here.
 
One look and they's got the hots for it. They word it Planet Earth. And they says, 'We don't need the knowing. We can live here.' Time counts and keeps counting.
 
They gets missing what they had.
 
They get so lonely for the high-scrapers and the video.
 
And they does the pictures so they'd 'member all the knowing that they lost. 'Member this? Tomorrow-morrow Land! 'Member this? The River of Light! 'Member this? Skyraft! 'Member this? Captain Walker! 'Member this? Mrs. Walker!
 
Then Captain Walker picked them of an age and good for a long haul. They counted 20 and that were them. The great leaving.
 
Rescue party departed at first light led by Flight Captain G.L. Walker. May God have mercy on our souls. They said bidey-bye to them what they'd birthed. And from the nothing they looked back and Captain Walker hollered, 'Wait, one of us will come.'"
 
The Short Version: The survivors of a plane crash left their children at an oasis in the desert while they went to search for civilisation. 
 
Why It's Genius: Mad Max III gets across its story of a group of kids who survived a plane crash only to be left stranded at a waterhole by making it just that - a story.
 
Their leader re-enacts it using scenes that have been drawn on the rock walls, framing them using a stick implement. Think of that wooden oblong as a crude form of TV.

      Im shocked that the Harry Potter Deathly Hallows part 1 animation about the 3 brothers/ Deathly Hallows is not there! that is awsome and could be a short film in its own right!

      I can not believe Back to the Future part 2 is't included. The Doc, a black board, a piece of chalk and an alternate 1985...classic!

      No it hasn't. No Indianapolis speech from Jaws? One of the greatest of them all.

      Ermmmmmmm freakshows - where on earth is the Prologue from the Lord of the Rings? The first 5 minutes of that is just stunning and sets up the trilogy perfectly! I also agree with Azazeal - The Tale of the Three Brothers is just a beautiful piece of cinema too!
