 According to the director's commentary of "Requiem for a Dream," the hip hop montage is used in film as a sample is used in hip hop, with a few moments of film or video, respectively, repeated throughout the work for effect.The technique is derived from the hip hop culture of the 1990s and jump cuts first pioneered in the French new wave.It was used earlier in Bob Fosse's "All That Jazz" and Paul Thomas Anderson's "Boogie Nights".
