xkcd Movie Graphs

By Miss Cellania in Film on Nov 2, 2009 at 8:57 am

Randall Munroe of xkcd has posted intricate movie graphs that help explain the sequence of characters for those who have trouble figuring out what went on over a long narrative. The most helpful is the largest graph, which deals with the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Grouping of lines shows which characters are together over time. There are also graphs for the original Star Wars trilogy, Jurassic Park, 12 Angry Men, and Primer. Only a small portion of the LOTR graph is shown here. Link -via reddit

There is an error in the LOTR chart, Saruman and Wormtongue did not die in the flooding of Isengard but in the Shire at the end of the book…

I would love to see more movies done this way. Some movies have such complicted plot lines with different characters a chart would be nice.

@Kaz

I believe this time line is referring to the movies which Saruman did die at Isengard (in the Special Edition).

Now let’s see a chart following the red plaid overnight cases from “What’s Up Doc?”

From what I remember, the Primer graph seems quite accurate.

nifrek – that is exactly what I thought when I saw the Primer graphic.
