Anyway, I quite liked it too. It's nitpicking, but I remember someone asking the makers of the media used used if it was possible to shoot continuously for that length of time and they said no - so it's widely assumed the fade to black moments hide the edits. Unless of course you did watch the remake in which case it's possible it IS a single shot.
It's a neat gimmick, but unnecessary in the long run as it didn't add anything to the film particularly. For single shot, technical genius, one need look no further than the sublime and sweeping Russian Ark from Aleksandr Sokurov. |
Yes, the original. I haven't seen the remake, either.
Yeah, the whole 'one shot' thing was a bit pointless in a way, besides being momentarily impressive. Maybe it added a degree of urgency. Not much else, though.
