![]() This cinematic narrative technique originated in theatre, where the stage is surrounded by three walls, with the audience being the fourth - by breaking that wall, actors blurred the line between fiction and reality, letting the viewers in on the joke or implying the story, its plot, and implications extend beyond the stage. Either way, it's a welcome and clever way to include the viewers in the story and bring them along for an exciting ride. In sci-fi films, the technique is often used for comedic effect or to add a meta element to the narrative. Breaking the fourth wall where a character admits the fictional nature of their surroundings and addresses the audience directly becomes more and more common in movies of all genres.
