Gonna Need a Montage

The montage has been a highly used cinematic technique. The montage is usually used for training scene for sports films to show the audience the person or persons improvement from a humiliating defeat early in the film from the main antagonists. The television show South Park made a parody of this method in the season six episode entitled Asspen when stan goes through some supposedly rigorous training in order to beat the antagonist of the episode in a skiing contest, throughout the sequence to the song "Gonna Need A Montage". Though in the final race of the episode stan's skill is still roughly the same as it has been throughout the episode, but with the help of the "hot nerdy girl" stan is able to win the race despite being incredibly far behind. Another example of the use of the montage method would of corse be the Rocky movies in which rocky always appears to be the underdog and losses early in the film and goes through numerous training sequences and usually ends up winning, aside from the first movie.  so these are some examples of the montage technique.
