passingknightly 1917movie The long shot from “The Vast of Night” (2019) dir. Andrew Patterson you know what I really love though is how when you stop to consider it as a piece of planning and execution you're like oh yeah that's some filmcraft right there but in the moment it doesn't *stick out* as a showpiece it's very cool but it's Part Of Things part of the smooth strange mesmerizing way the camera has been moving or stilling all along so that it was actually the narrative effect of linking these two characters in geography & time as they wait out these five minutes that most took my breath away and that really IS movie-making! The Vast of Night
