Side note: I love all the camera work in the Truman Show--that goofy pencil sharpener shot is pretty fun, or the in-mirror shot at the beginning, or the boom at his 'moment of awakening' (queue music from powaqquatsi). Also that sped up homage to 2001's 360 docking procedure in Interstellar was brilliant IMO, or the rising shot where we follow his truck and smash into the rocket launch. Great mentions.

Usually when they pull up some obscure 1920s movie I'm like "okay, we get it, you have a film degree." But that shot from Wings was incredible! So dynamic and really just neat. Like a David Fincher CG shot but done practically. I'd love to see more stuff like that in any movie.

"Too mortified to continue to look on to the train wreck" is the perfect description for taxi driver. No movie has made me feel as uncomfortable and horrified.

one of the main topic of the movie is masculinity... maybe it has something to do with how the movie deals with that topic...

I feel like I just got out of a really engaging lecture in an awesome film class. You describe the feeling of the The Dark Knight shot so well. The viewer and Batman get a second of satisfaction before that shot, which starts the movie on a downward spiral of events that force Batman to take the fall for Two Face's crimes. It literally turns your expectations upside down.

It s abit unffair not to mention the epic rotation at the cemetary scene in the "the Good, the Bad and the Ugly", when tucko tries to find the grave. But we can't complain because you always do such amazing videos!! thank you so much!!!

You are doing a great service to those who commit their lives to the art of filmmaking and those said lesser-considered elements.

I enjoy profoundly simple, beautiful moments in films that I would have absolutely never noticed, nor known the value of, thanks to your videos. This is such a refreshing deep, meaningful movies channel, very much unlike the likes of "WatchMojo" or many of the other similar ones with "Top 10 movies that made actors quit" or whatever nonsense. Kudos to you for exposing the subtle genius of so many movie scenes, and preserving the meaningfulness of each element, keeping it alive for us to learn from. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I don't think it was mentioned in this video, but one of my favourite shots in history comes groom Abel Gance's Napoleon, in which the chaos of the French revolutionary parliament is shown by literally putting the camera on a pendulum and swinging it back and forth over a crowd of shouting men. It's a masterful shot from a great film.

I can't help but feel you kinda spoiled the truly breath taking WTF reveal of the camera movement in the Soy Cuba clip, when the camera pushes over the balcony, for anyone who has yet to see it (especially as you sped through it). Minor gripe aside, awesome video!

@THE.N1KO

The Coolest I agree with you, both films already formed their photographic style, turning Batman would have felt more surreal, and also, unexpected, although it must be said, turning the Joker was enough, after all, the scene was like the Joker even hung, He remained standing, face to face with Batman. Although I do not think it would feel so forced, taking into account for example the visual fear of each person in Batman Begins, where Batman looked like a monster, Crane's horse was firing fire from his snout, Crane threw bats from his mouth. This scene, and also some of The Dark Knight, that being much more realistic, give an air of surrealism, for example, when the Joker escapes from the police station in a patrol, the camera is still, stuck to the patrol, while that the car made movements with oscillation, the background was blurred, the Joker shaking his head in a fast camera, and with an overwhelming sound in the background, he felt quite surreal. Anyway, I agree.

@EmethMatthew

6 жыл бұрын

Yeah, while I get your point, all it makes me think of is the scene in Frozen from Olaf's perspective with his head upside down asking why they're hanging from the world like bats. While that has interesting parallels of its own, I wouldn't be surprised if Nolan tried it, but decided against it in editing because it'd take us out of the moment too much. The genius of the shot is feeling like we're suddenly seeing the Joker's perspective, but still as the audience and as Batman. We're gaining insight into his thought process but still not fully sympathizing with him. Seeing Batman upside down "hanging from the world like a bat" is super interesting, but not actually the point of the scene. Often storytelling, even through cinematography, is just as much about what you don't put in, to keep focused on what's important, than what you do put in, regardless of how cool it might be. If Ledger had lived and we got another movie with the Joker though, I'd definitely have wanted to see a shot from his perspective seeing Batman "hanging upside down from the world" as the Bat though. Definitely a cool idea.
