Elegant use of cinematography should look effortless and not distract viewers from the story (or cover up the fact that the story is thin).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-74116505179492568542013-07-26T08:20:46.085-05:002013-07-26T08:20:46.085-05:00I think Ryan Gosling is a good looking guy, but lo...I think Ryan Gosling is a good looking guy, but long takes do not serve him well.

I agree that cinematography should serve the story, not just simply an indulgence that serves no purpose. Cinema is not fine art and shouldn't be treated as such. Pretentious sounds right, both the actor and the director, I'd say they belong to each other.<br /><br />Besides, I can't stand Ryan Gosling's smug face so the long takes and close-up on his face is NEVER a good thing in my book, ahah. ruthhttp://flixchatter.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-19689525708573062062013-07-23T14:38:34.447-05:002013-07-23T14:38:34.447-05:00No kidding!
