SafeSearchOff Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I think generally they made some good choices, but I really think they completely robbed Children of Men on best cinematography and best editing, the way that movie was shot was incredible.Any further insight?

Technically, Children of Men was stunning to watch, but for sheer visual interest and beauty, Pan's Labyrinth walks all over it, and that's why I think it won. As far as editing, I cannot say, as I have not seen The Departed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeSearchOff Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 What about that last 30 minutes of children of men? That one camera following clive owen was incredibly well done, the whole way that scene was shot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever seen Russian Ark? The ENTIRE MOVIE, like 90 minutes I believe, is one continuous camera shot, with I don't know how many different sets and something like 800 actors. You cannot take your eyes of the screen, it is so fluid and beautiful. And it didn't win anything. Like I said, I loved Children of Men, but you have to look at the movie as a whole vs. bit by bit. Did you see Pan's Labyrinth by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeSearchOff Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 No, but I DID hear it was phenomenal, I really hope I can get a chance to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imagelessdude Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I think its an outrage that Borat didn't win best adapted screenplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
