thread is shit

it is evocative only

it terms of actually packing information into the frame and using the shot to carry meaning and move the narrative, it's pretty lame

Good man. You understand.

For packing meaning into a shot, I'll go with the final shot of Miami Vice. The one at 3:16 or so.

>sideways movement and obscured view imply the momentum and instability of Crockett's life
>he turns and walks away from the camera. It steadies. we're afforded our first clear view of him in a while.
>he's just another man pushing on through the night, through the shadows around him
>he's so dark you can barely tell who he is. In line with the movie's repeated mentions of knowing someone as a form of loving them. All they want is to be known
>workers step out as Crockett gets closer
>light from the doorway mirrors light from Isabella's car window, the first time Crockett saw her clearly
>therefore Crockett is pushing towards Isabella
>cut to black just as Crockett reaches the light, just before his shadow breaks away from theirs
>either Crockett will never reach the light, will never find Isabella...
>or maybe he will, just like he said

Great fucking movie. Always deserved a sequel.

Is Shawshank the most overrated movie ever?
>>
>>63691698

not really

the viewers that voted for it and elevate it are the problem..it's a good movie

but it's not a great movie....given historical perspective
>>
>>63691767
>not an overrated movie, because viewers have rated it too highly
>>
>>63691830

YOU viewers have

you fucking navel gazing self important millenial fucksticks

grown ups know better

titanic you contrarian fagslave
>>
>>63692010
my point was that it is weird to deny that it's the most overrated movie ever and then point to a fact which supports the claim that it is overrated

i think it's a fun movie, but definitely overrated
