1 continuous shot?

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2015)

Why would anyone make a movie that looks like 1 continuous shot? Good question, my favorite continuous shot in film history (prior to this film) was the famous goodfellas scene where he enters the restraint through the back, but when I watched this film at the theaters I was amazed at how they used it to their advantage. Thogh, the cinematography of the film is very distracting at times it made the movie beautiful to view. The drum score behind the film made it even more extravagant, I loved the music so much I stayed in the theater during the credits just to listen to it. Ever since batman, Micheal Keating career has been going downhill, nowadays he is a washed up actor and the last film he made he directed himself (similarly to what he does in this film). Starring Edward Norton in his best performance since primal fear and American history X. I love Zach galfinakis, between two ferns is hilarious, and him being a comic made me nervous about watching him in a serious role, he owned this role, this movie made me appreciate Zach as an actor rather than a comic. Up until one point of the movie, no cuts were used, but almost at the end several edits were made and ruined the continuous feel of the movie, which made me appreciate it a little less. As much as I love what the director of photography did, I wouldn't like to see anymore films made this way.i hope this wins best cinematography, best screenplay and best actor at the Oscars, and as much as I'd love to see it win best picture, I know boyhood it the favorite at the moment. And I know for a fact that there's no chance it'll win best film editing.
