Excellent point….👍🏾

What a great video...really enjoyable and inteneresting. Great movies, great analysis.

Thing is so many people think they need to have crazy camera moves to be ‘cool’. I look at comic books/manga for an example. They tell so much story in one frame. It’s all about framing and composition etc

Great video

I dont see wrong the scene from the interview. The unnecessary movement makes the scene a lot funnier

I love your beautiful review. I hope you had a chance to watch it again. I saw it twice in the cinema & I now stream it every now and then. Also I do hope that you watch Aftersun. Paul Mescal’s performance in the series called Normal People is really good too 😊

That 2nd cop was a little slow getting out the vehicle.

It’s a masterpiece!

Had no idea what this is about, but quite the hype around it. Solid review! Gotta seek it out somehow.

Thank you for your direct, sincere and enthusiastic review of this wonderful film. (F.y.i.: Andrew Haigh's last name rhymes with "vague" -- long "a" and hard "g." You got the first part right. And I believe that Paul Mescal's last name is pronounced "MESS-cull," though you're in good company in getting it wrong! Thank you.)

Can’t wait to see this - I love the four main actors!

I enjoyed having a Maurice/Brideshead Revisited turn into American Psycho... it's not as much to be analyzed as just enjoyed for the over the top revelry of narcissism that it is. Oliver went from his sexual want of Felix to be determined he would be discarded as a seasonal pet once he had seen the grandeur of Saltburn, which beyond being the site of the action becomes a character itself.

Great review! 🍿

But why? For the shot about The Interview with kids playing guitars, I disagree. In my perspective, we see a concert of kids playing guitars with too much movements for the cameras to create an ambiance of live concert, "party" and finally when they reveal the audience there's a discomfort. It makes sense to me. Anyway, everything can be done. I think it's just a question of opinions, tastes and creativity.

truly excellent! learned a lot!

In an era of b-movies, blockbusters and franchise sagas Saltburn is that masterpiece we didn’t know we needed. The plot and development reminded me of Parasite, the final scene Boogie Nights. E. Fennell utilised Keoghan’s unique acting features like Lanthimos did. The film displays the harshness and utter violence the average multiplex goer wouldn’t expect - and yet it made it to the wide distribution. This for me is the film of the year.

great insight thanks Mr GS

reminds me of sports. everyone says go faster. but noone teaches you to stop

I don’t agree. Cinema is definitely a combination of great acting and great camera moves/framing. Cinema is a moving medium. Leaving a 17 min scene static is just plain lazy or the actors were not able to concentrate with crew members moving around. Looks like the actors got the better of Steve, or Steve never saw Kurosawa, Coppola, Speilberg or Scot.

Wonderful review I can't wait to watch the movie!

You put where is my mind piano in the background Cool

It must hav taken a lot of work to put this together. This is six years ago, why didnt you continue. Larry

The complaint around 2:10 that the camera is moving around likely all the shots and stops required to film 3 children pretending to play guitar for 1-2 minutes of film.

If you like this and think this style is something, you should check out the work of Yasujiro Ozu. Japanese director who died in 1963. He was a master of mise-en-scène without moving the camera. He made about 50 movies or so and by the end of his career wasn’t moving the camera at all. I guess Tokyo Story is considered his masterpiece, but every film of his I have seen has been a revelation. He was a master for sure without moving the camera. I can only wonder if McQueen was a disciple of Ozu’s films. One of my favorites is Called Good Morning from 1959.

good video

Thank you for your angle I disagree with your statement at 1:21. I feel like it's meant to make you feel uncomfortable. 2. The reason about that scene had nine camera angles which I agree is too many but there were four characters instead of two. 3. The blue sheets it also is a color of sorrow in paintings and many different art forms that change the color not because of emotional change but that he opened a curtain to the outside world. A change for sure but maybe positive in the mind of the character. I don't believe your opinion is wrong. I am looking at it from a different view now with your interpretation.

I think should not dictate how people choose their camera movement. It is the style of the individual. Whether it is necessary should be decided by the director, not us. Sometimes the editor wants many angles to edit. Anyway, if I were a director, I would prefer slow long takes.

❤

Fassbender's bedclothes looked green to me. I need to adjust my monitor.

The Rosamund Pike clips have convinced me to see it. Great comedic acting.

Thank you for discussing this with us. My dad was a TV director and he used to discuss filmology, camera works and the science behind shots and scenes. After he passed, I miss knowing and talking about stuff like this.

A discussion of not moving a camera without so much as a nod to Jim Jarmusch... shame, shame, shame...

It made me realize that I like boarding school movies. I never went to one, so I like the formality of it all.

The camera moves in "The Interview" are in on the joke. North Korea's dreary authoritarianism juxtaposed against happily enthused children, the dynamic camera reflecting the energy and joy of the kids.

17 min static shot and they're getting nowhere. That's where I fall asleep and 17 min is quite a reasonable nap. Thanks.

Still waiting for a single photo of Steve McQueen in this video.

i dont understand the unnecessary call out for different camera movement/direction style, by comparison ure only fixating on the fact that steve mcqueen is better and the style is superior {i love mcqueen btw} i think u shudve been more critical in choosing which clips to compare, rest amazing video

Ok pretentious little prick😅😅

Do Spike Lee next

depends on what you want to achieve. the scene in the interview for example is so absurd and over the top like north korean propaganda. its perfectly fitting. if the scene hast to be dynamic like a spoken fight, more cameraangles are often the way to go. ther is no one size fits all

I love it! Very well said and it's great to learn more about the camera in these scenes.

Yeah, the camera on the little guitarists had to move so wildly to mask the fact that none of these kids could actually play the guitar.

I think it's all about the context of the scene and Whether a static shot would fit better than a moving one, or vice versa.

Hannigan the Traveling Salesman asks, “What if Steve McQueen had directed Steve McQueen? Could he tame _that_ famously fast-driving, fast-living icon of the silver screen? No _woman_ ever could that’s for certain. Cash or credit!”

One of my favorite movies - great video essay

Fascinating video essay, sir

i think he's moving the camera to make it less obvious that the kids are not moving their hands in anything like real playing.

621 subscribers? how is that eveb possible? thanks for this great essay. its 622 now.

Kubrick? He wrote the book.

When does Lighting McQueen show up
