Anyone from Chicago can tell you how perfect this shot is. I can think of few shots in all of cinema that use a real world location this well or to communicate so much.

@@ManishMathur5689 it’s not gentrification on this part though. This just shows the wealth divide in the city. How the government will trim and cut trees and grass in the rich neighborhoods but not the poor ones. Google Redlining.
I like how as the car goes from point A to point B it progressively gets more gentrified. He’s the alderman to an impoverished ward but lives on the outskirts of it where it’s basically the suburbs. Loved this movie and its subtle but not-so-subtle social commentary on politicians
If you look at the route on Google Maps, the guardrail and hedges at 2:42 are at about 701 E 47th, and the next building, a BMO bank, is at ~900 E 47th. The cut is very well done, but it's been spliced. Put another way, you never see the car cross Cottage Grove or Drexel Ave.
The dialogue in the car scene is great, but the fact that you can't see them through the windows bothers me. Also the actress in this scene doesn't have enough to do in the film.
The point of this scene isn’t the dialogue, it’s the scenery. If they showed the faces it would distract from the focus, which is how block to block the city gets more gentrified
Not only the economic and zoning disparity but also the honesty of the politician once he gets in the car and his contempt for the people who live on the ward.
I guess I am not a movie buff but I couldnt stand that shot. Riding on top of the outside of the car. I thought something was wrong with my TV and I wasnt paying attention to what was being said. Dumbest thing ever.
This was called one of the best shots of 2018? I wanted to try and find this shot because I thought it was one of the most incompetent directing choices I've ever seen. It's awkwardly framed, too close, and you can't even see through the tinted window.
@@ahmedhathoutt And that just seems odd to me. It's not how I'd shoot it, and I'm pretty sure we haven't seen this precise shot before because no good director has ever thought to do it in such an awkward way.

She was the highlight of this scene to me! Who is she? With an ass like that, of course she slept with a black guy! She needs to keep flashing that moneymaker. She'll shoot straight to the top just like Kim K. and J-Lo. Wow! Her acting was pretty good also.

Speechless. Peak filmmaking.

I like how during the car ride, the scenery got progressively greener.
And they also ran an All Way stop sign
gentrification
@@ManishMathur5689 what is that?

Simple yet effective, this is a superb scene.

What? I don’t see that but I live there so it don’t look gentrified it’s just more businesses.
love this scene and how its shot.
How did this film not get a single Oscar nomination
It sucked. And McQueen is overrated. His best film will always and forever be Shame. Fuck 12 Years a Slave too. Django Unchained all the way
Leo Nardo lmao shut the fuck up
Because the movie wasn't really that good as a whole.
Yeah. Pretty ridiculous Black Panther and Bohemian Rhapsody got that stupid shit and not this or Burning
@@friendlypup5650 Burning was so damn good
I still remember watching this scene thinking it was a fun and original way to show the real lives of these two characters.
Anyone else admire they beauty of UNBROKEN shots in movies?
I’m from Chicago. From a neighborhood like this one. This is accurate. Farrell crushes it.
Colin Farrell’s Irish accent is slightly slipping out for a character that is supposed to be “sixth generation Chicagoen” 😂
Interesting, I am not a native speaker, where can you notice his Irish accent?
@@loulouloulou2519 2:41
To me that sounds like the closest he got to an authentic South Side Chicago accent in the whole scene
I noticed it in the beginning.
I don't know, I'm pretty impressed by his Chicago R's.
They drove from Inglewood to Hyde Park.
I loved this scene, I fucking loved this scene
This scene reminded me of a video game
What GTA5! LOL!
It's not shot from a first person perspective. How is that even possible?
@@LeoNardo-mb9lf There are third person perspective games too, you know.
Lmfaooooooo this is so true
Amazing scene, actually genius as the scenery progressively shows the contrast of neighborhoods
That's a brave decision to eliminate the expressions of actors while they are delivering such awesome performances.
Molly Kunz needs to be in more movies.
It's a thin line between heaven and here
Colin didn't even try to hide his Irish accent in this one
The driver is black and is probably listing to this crazy ass conversation and thinking, this guy lol
This shot is not continuous. There is a cut at 2:42. The scene jumps from 701 E 47th St to 901 E 47th St.
False.
If you look at the route on Google Maps, the guardrail and hedges at 2:42 are at about 701 E 47th, and the next building, a BMO bank, is at ~900 E 47th.
The cut is very well done, but it's been spliced. Put another way, you never see the car cross Cottage Grove or Drexel Ave.
Very under rated movie
With a woman like this next yo you you will certainly and definitely make IT all the way to the top! Period!!!
Nah....that's cap
The dialogue in the car scene is great, but the fact that you can't see them through the windows bothers me. Also the actress in this scene doesn't have enough to do in the film.
She avoided the question
The point of this scene isn’t the dialogue, it’s the scenery. If they showed the faces it would distract from the focus, which is how block to block the city gets more gentrified
I'm still wondering why the "slept with a black guy" question is so important to white men?
@@rmjmoviereviews6876 in this context it was so that she could sleep with the opposition and then later use that evidence against him.
Molly Kunz I love you😍😍😍
hi for my next trip I am going to Denver 🤗
Literal wrong side of the tracks!
He's in WAY over his head.
To this day, I’m still confused what made him ask “have you ever done a black guy”?
pretty sure he was gonna ask his assistant to sleep with the other candidate in order to blackmail him or something
@@Ariel_emerald Damn, it all makes sense now.
@@UnreleasedUnderratedRnBgrooves her not answering the question made it clear that she has.
Can someone explain the point of shooting it that way? I try to associate it with leftism and rightism but it doesn't add up. Help.
It's to show the proximity of the poor run down neighbourhood to the gated wealthy community.
@@RiseDarthVader Chicago is like that! So realistic. One block Washington Park go two blocks and you're in Hyde Park.
Most people don't require an explanation as it speaks for itself
Not only the economic and zoning disparity but also the honesty of the politician once he gets in the car and his contempt for the people who live on the ward.
couldn't figure out the name of the film, any info?
Widows
¡Brutal!
I love it
Can anybody else hear screaming in this scene? Like there are shootings happening?
0:00 Is she threatened her?
hi i am going to Denver and I am going to Memphis Tennessee next month
This movie was very unfocused, too many subplots and they really didn’t tie together in the end
.....tmw he thanks the driver before he gets out
great shot, horrendous dialogue
2:00
Not really a tracking shot
I guess I am not a movie buff but I couldnt stand that shot. Riding on top of the outside of the car. I thought something was wrong with my TV and I wasnt paying attention to what was being said. Dumbest thing ever.
It's to show you the contrast of the wealth of the area, as you go from a poor neighbourhood to a gated green suburb for the rich like the politician.
Or Mormon? That’s Okay
You don't understand the purpose of the shot. Income disparity.

@@donventura2116 How is it bait? I'm an amateur director and I'm being completely serious.

The actress in this scene is just awful lol
I think she's brilliant!
Definitely disagree.
I think she’s a good actor portraying a bad actress, someone who is pretending to care but knows it’s just a business....
Speak for yourself.
She did good!
She was the highlight of this scene to me! Who is she? With an ass like that, of course she slept with a black guy! She needs to keep flashing that moneymaker. She'll shoot straight to the top just like Kim K. and J-Lo. Wow! Her acting was pretty good also.
Kinda corny and heavy-handed
