I've never understand the hatred of prologues. Shakespeare used prologues! Film and TV use prologues! Fucking Star Wars uses prologues! Sometimes you've just gotta *clenches fist* set the scene with a thematically divergent POV or narrative voice to show what's what up front.

You also need to be careful with film analogies I think b/c visual "flash" (in the hands of a good director) can carry you a lot farther than the equivalent in text w/o any character stuff.

Like if you tried to do the beginning of "Saving Private Ryan" in text, which is like ~20 min of spectacle, I think you'd probably lose the audience.
