Summary

This quote suggests that movies and novels differ in their approach to handling time. Movies need to manage time efficiently as they focus on connecting scenes in the present timeline to create a coherent story. On the other hand, novels do not necessarily prioritize this seamless continuity of time. They have more flexibility to explore various temporal elements such as flashbacks, nonlinear narratives, or different time periods. Novels can delve deeper into character development and explore different perspectives, while movies often prioritize the concise progression of events in a linear fashion.
