I love this scene. Franz must have faith of a religious quality in 
cause and effect.  Franz doesn't have to actually 'connect the 
fragments', he can assume that the connections do exist and not 
exert himself by engaging in observation.  Of course he could have 
seen a synopsis of the film before viewing it.
