Some may enjoy the immersive experience of watching a lengthy film\u200d in \u200cone sitting, while others may appreciate the chance to pause and reflect on what they have seen so far.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the inclusion of intermissions in \u2064Martin Scorsese&#8217;s\u200c &#8220;Killers of the Flower Moon&#8221; is a testament to the\u2062 evolving\u200b nature of cinema and the cinema-going experience.
