cinematography is the key

Rating: 8/10 (5 December 2008)

in its context, the movie is indeed slapstick humor. with jack black in it, you'd expect his twisted style to spice it up.
to transcend yourself needs meticulous thinking, in depth perception and simply an open mind on how it is made.
cinematography is the key.
look intuitively. figure out the various angles and perspectives each frame was done. the colors have vibrancy and a deeper meaning. the character positioning. each visual composition. and many more subtle clues and conspicuous marks.
this should give you insight.
