Summary/Abstract: How can a movie think about the flow of time? On the infinite complexity of causality; decisions, accidents, "ifs", sometimes moments when we are not aware, in short how does cinema think about the chaotic uncertainty of time? The main purpose of this paper will be to think about a pure thought of a ‘‘whole’’ regarding the conception of chaos, which transcends social roles and hundreds of factors establishing our identities, and then try to trace these ideas in cinema. While cinema is showing the uncertainties in our lives, it will create other qualitative leaps. That is precisely why cinema is not a collection of images that does not have any material weight. A film carries the latent powers of “thinking” that is waiting to be transformed into infinite things. This paper will discuss the question above in the context of cinema’s montage element.
