There are, however, a small number of movies that, through the presentation of alternate narrative paths, open the mind to thoughts of choice and possibility. Through the study of several key movies for which this concept is central, such as Sliding Doors, Run Lola Run, Inglourious Basterds, and Rashomon, Nitzan Ben Shaul examines the causes and implications of optional thinking and how these movies allow for more open and creative possibilities. 606 $aMotion pictures$xPhilosophy 606 $aMotion picture audiences$xPsychology 606 $aMotion pictures$xPsychological aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aMotion picture audiences$xPsychology. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a791.4301 700 $aBen-Shaul$b Nitzan S$01037465 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462526703321 996 $aCinema of choice$92458474 997 $aUNINA
