Films that layer many plots and relationships on top of one another, such as Love Actually, push our brains to breaking point, a new study suggests. Scientists say that 'hyperlink films' such as the Hugh Grant hit as well as grittier titles such as Crash and Babel that follow a number of stories in parallel throughout, require a lot of brain power to understand due to the number of emotional relationships that the viewer needs to keep track of. Hyperlink films reflect patterns that can be seen in social networks, but the number of storylines they can feature is restricted due to the limitations of the human brain.
