great, picolas can now beat me.

anyway, gamblor du jour, here's the eyes wide shut caps i promised you. i don't think i can describe them as well as p did:

Quote from: Pit's just sum energetic doggy and table top orgy-thons. i wouldn't call it titillating, but it goes a long way in improving the mood of the film, and the whole mansion sequence.

due to the apparent explicit nature of the caps i've decided to make links of the caps. but i'm confused over the rating boards in america can ruin a movie like eyes wide shut. they're just making love a lá the kubrick way. but they don't do anything about the violence in movies. it's just sickening to me. anyway, i will stop preaching... here they are:

orgy 1 . orgy 2 . orgy 3 . orgy 4 . orgy 5 . orgy 6

you think the reason it took so long to shoot is because maybe kubrick spent the most time on the orgy shots? the dirty lil bastard...

these three following caps are from "the pianist". i find these shots in the movie very haunting and the viewer can only see a bit of the destruction because of the big wall that's there. this happens after some of the jews fights back at the nazi's but after a while they have to give up because the whole ghetto is on fire.

I'm at work, so I don't have access to a DVD player for CAPs. I did find these though.

I'm going to have to say that long shot at the beginning of I Am Cuba when the camera follows the woman and all that. Not necessarily because of any 'emotional impact' or anything like that, but because I think it's amazing to think how it could have been pulled off without the use of Steadicam crap. One of cinema's greatest mysteries unsolved....
