Why it works
The opening shot lasts to frame 597 before the real-world reveal at frame 598, making the initial journey a visual promise. A 719-frame time passage in shot 37 compresses years inside one recognizable place, while the return to flight in shots 59–60 pays off the repeated prop action without narration.
