Jump Cuts- Why Used?

The directors that use jump cuts. use them for the pure purpose of distracting the audience from reality. Making you compare to reality. Making you see how much the film industry has control of the audience. Like in the movie Breathless, when the couple were having an intense scene, out of no where Michel gets out of the car and lifts a lady’s dress up. I personally view jump cuts as a great usage of advertisement because they give you more than you expect to take in and analyze for your self. Making you think and question the connection of the random shot to the story line of the film.
