I'm really sorry, but after reading the comment that was written by 'peterstrauss' I really felt like smashing my head against a wall just because it was written in such ignorance. True: it's not a movie the mass is used to see, but that's really not a reason to discard it as 'BAD'. Or however you Americans say it. It's merely a reason to open your eyes to see another level of movie making. Not every movie has to be a copy of another movie. And there are a lot of them around. Her other movie he commented on (Thirteen) isn't a bad movie. It just shows another world in movie making. Lords of Dogtown and Thirteen are beautiful movies and I really have respect for the way they were made.
And by the way, 'peterstrauss':
The camera moves and editing on both weren't choppy; they were meant to be like that. No movie is made with a director that doesn't know what he or she is doing! It's just the way people look at it and instantly make a opinion about it. While you think of it as choppy other peeps think of it as art. Making movies isn't about giving the big public what they want, it's about giving them something to think and (usually) learn about.
Well; excuse my bad English in some parts, but I really thought this had to be said. If movies were all alike there wouldn't be any reason anymore to watch and make them.
