Movies are Complicated

I’m with Carmen–I never really thought about all the little details that go into making a film. Just like a book, every last detail is there for a reason. Each shot has a purpose and intention, and every detail about the shot corresponds with what the director is trying to create. I think it’s sort of amazing.
It did leave me wondering, as I’m sure we all wonder when we read book sometimes “did the author really MEAN for that detail to turn out like that?” “Did the director really INTEND the shot to work so well with the theme of heaven/hell, etc?” I guess we’ll never really know, but I feel better believing that every intricate detail was completely intentional. But even if it’s not–if the effect is there, accidentally or intentionally, I’m sold.
