18 Genius Pieces Of Movie Exposition

Tell it like it is...

The Green Hornet (2011)

The Exposition: James Reid: “Think Britt. You can figure this out my son with your brains.” 
 
Kato: “It's almost like time slows down.” 
 
James Reid: “That's right. Think, slowly.” 
 
Britt Reid: “OK, two years ago Scanlon decides to run for DA. He goes on the platform that he's cleaning up the streets of LA, which is impossible so he asks the media to slant the news and you go along with it like everybody else?”
 
James Reid: “No, I refused.”
 
Britt Reid: “Shit, so what does he do? Scanlon decides to go really dirty. He makes a pact with a criminal and Chudnofsky kills your reporter."
 
James Reid: “I didn't want any more bloodshed so I stopped reporting on crime."
 
Lenore Case: “To be honest, the last few years this paper has dipped in quality and ambition.” 
 
Britt Reid: “Now Scanlon can hold up his part of the deal and keep the media under control and Chudnofsky can do whatever he wants. But Chudnofsky had a different plan. He wanted to take over all the different gangs of LA so that's when you decided to cut the strings.” 
 
James Reid: “I couldn't look myself in the mirror. I hated every word I said to you that morning Britt.” 
 
Britt Reid: “So you start reporting on crime again and now Scanlon is a dead man unless he proves he's in control. He has no choice but to organise a secret meeting with you and then he kills you himself. In the end, you stood up for what's right dad.” 
 
The Short Version: Britt finally figures out that DA Scanlon killed his father. 
 
Why It's Genius: Just as you start to believe that maybe The Green Hornet has picked up some of Kato's ability to see everything that's happening in a split second, the bubble is burst when Scanlon says: “I can see by that stupid expression you've had on your face for the past five minutes that you're trying to piece this together.”

      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!

      i def agree about harry potter and lord of the rings, but i found Serenity to be a great one, finding out the history of the alliance and the war in an actual history class then Wham! straight into Rivers situation and her escape, which once again turns out to be exposition as well
