Unique assassination

I have seen many movies of the assassination genre. Although the final ending of this film is clichéd, the narrative is very innovative. How to turn a 20-minute story into a 120-minute movie? Tell this story six times.
The first perspective: The TV station gave a big panorama, the most public perspective, that is, the information that ordinary people can see and obtain.
Second perspective: The president’s bodyguard is a close-up of the president, adding some privacy, but it is still concealed by appearances. It stops abruptly at the end of the story, leaving some suspense
. Some explanations were given to the terrorists from the side, but it was very vague and left many unsolved mysteries.
The fourth perspective: ordinary witnesses, although ordinary, he examined the process of the story from all angles, fully connecting the main characters from the first few perspectives, and paving the way for the subsequent story. But when I return to the head, I find that this character is not necessary at all. The director has to intersperse with humanity scenes, such as the conversation with his wife, which seems a bit superfluous.
Fifth perspective: President, this can be regarded as a behind-the-scenes story. What people see is actually not true. There is a story behind the story, which also leaves an impression of the audience.
Sixth perspective: It should be regarded as all of the characters Appearance, from the terrorist’s mastermind, to the implementation process, and the somewhat far-fetched ending, and also gives an explanation for the suspense left in the first few perspectives, but everywhere it shows that the enchantment is high, if not the final Because the terrorists’ luck is too bad, otherwise there will be no chance for the people’s hero to appear.
Although the story is very general, this way of telling the story tightly grasps the hearts of the audience, so that everyone's thinking is always carried away by the story in the picture.
From a different perspective, to tell the story again, each time there are some gimmicks, allowing the audience to gain something, but leaving a lot of suspense, this unique narrative method is now more and more used in movies.
