Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan, and the rise of the choppy fight scene. - By Dennis Lim - Slate Magazine
I couldn't agree more with this article's suggestion that current editing of action movies makes a real mess of fight scenes.
All hail Steven Spielberg, whose direction (and whoever does his editting) is like a beacon of clarity.
That was what I hated about the first movie (Batman Begins) I couldn't see what the hell Batman was doing. I'm not saying that he should do the Van Damme thing of having the shots of the same roundhouse kick from three different angles but it would have been nice to the Keysi Fighting System a bit more clearly.
ReplyDeleteThat should be "nice to SEE the Keysi ..."
