That was great! I love being able to just watch the awesome pretty parts of a bunch of movies.
You know, I sometimes wonder if part of film narrative anymore is just finding a framework to be able to showcase visuals like that. Sure, there are good movies out there that could have been shot Dogma 95, but I think the best movies are the ones that really harness the power of the film image. Why does seeing some actor I don't even recognize jumping through the air, arms outstretched, in a context I know nothing about, still manage to affect me so?
