Impressive but distracting
BenedictSTAFFMOD 发布于 2020 年 01 月 16 日 5:29上午
The problem with this style of cinema is that it is massively distracting. I spent more time wondering about the production methods, hidden cuts, and how the environment they were stumbling through was mapped out than I did involved in the story. I feel it could have been a better film without the self-imposed constraints. They could still have done long takes in places where appropriate. I'd put this in the same category as Gravity: An incredible feat of film-making at the cost of storytelling.

I still haven't seen Gravity. I had a friend who was gushing about it on facebook when it was released as if it were the greatest film ever made. I'm not a fan of these "gimmick" films that seek to employ a technique that overshadows film storytelling.

The gimmick "single take shot" is not original watch the opening of Kubrick's Paths Of Glory.

I thought it was pretty good but overrated. Some of the issues I had with it were similar to the issues I had with Gravity. Both films being intended to convey realism through the use of technical gimmicks. But that intended realism felt compromised in both films by some far fetched action movie style elements that feel really out of place. The part when the trip wire goes off and completely buries the protagonist in rock yet he's perfectly fine. Arnie or John Mclane might be ok but a normal dude in the real world gets all that shit landing on his head, he's gonna be dead or pretty badly injured.
Another part was when the planes are having that dogfight and the German plane gets shot down and out of all those expansive fields it manages to crash land exactly in our heroes laps in order to give us a good look at the big blockbuster movie explosion as our heroes dive out of the way... just in time.
The whole long take thing was impressive but not as impressive as I was expecting it would be. Seen as there is very little of our heroes going through actual war. The majority of it was them walking through fields and trenches. When they did come into danger it would be one or two enemy soldiers at a time. I'm actually more impressed by the shorter but more eventful one shot takes seen in films like Children of Men.
And did the film really have much to say?

I never said "original gimmick." It's a gimmick, nonetheless.
