great effects and editing

Rating: 10/10 (13 November 2005)

Among the many good things about this movie are the perfectly fabulous special effects and editing, notably of the fight scenes. Normally I do not like to watch fighting, but this movie takes you to the insides of what happens to all the people, not just the pugilists.
And I am wondering, as an editor myself, exactly what was used to make the noises of the punches. Perhaps it's best not to know. At any rate, the sound track was terrific, including of course the special music, the music we hear but to which we pay no attention.
Other aspects of the movie have already been commented on very well and at length.
