The best flashback scene is in the animated film “Up”. The story starts out with a memorable emotional character flash back that is made up of short scenes with absolutely no verbal dialogue. I remember watching this film in a movie theater and this scene literally made people cry. The scene is just full of emotion and its just so powerful. We watch Carl’s life pass by in the first five minutes that are full of happy and sad moments.
The fact that this scene has no dialogue in it really helps the viewer take in what they are watching along with the emotions that it attempts to convey . The fact that an animated movie like this has the potential to make an audience cry demonstrates how well the flashback was executed. It also serves as information that the viewer needs for the rest of the movie while being a great beginning in itself.
