Why it works
The 0:00–0:38 battlefield tableau gives a clear conflict before the story rewinds to its causes. Portrait banners, coloured territories, and map moves make a dense cast traceable; the 5:34–5:50 replayed passage shows a compact arrangement of rulers. The measured two broad shots contain 27 detected graphic changes, so the tiny cut rate understates the visual activity.
