two that come to my mind would be the plane flying over the sand dunes in the English Patient (very stunning with the musical score) and Emma Thompson's bottom of her skirt moving over the grass through the english garden in Howard's End.
I think this is an interesting question. How many movies are specially produced with the beginning in mind. A good movie is often judged by how expertly one is hooked into the story. It's an art form. Would you ever toggle a desert guy smearing mud on a burn victim with a plane shot flying over dunes? It makes no sense until you see the entire story. That makes great cinematography that they did it that way with emotional ties of how far this character goes with the side-by-side scene flips.
Okay, it might be boring. But I only have my opinion. I find it fascinating.
give me the cinema range, sweety pie, so I don't get called boring again. that hurt. i cried for two days straight.
just kidding...diversity rules! i'm still going to give my period piece flicks and the artsy fartsy dramatic love films a voice around here, just for kicks.
now you can! check out the hollywood cover of vanity fair to see scarlett. talk about ballsy! thank god for photoshop (ability to blur any bumps or deficiencies not that either actress probably had any)
