I could say so much

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2001)

I could say so much about how great this movie is but will instead recommend that anyone with an interest in film watch one of the greatest scenes ever: the carbon freezing scene. Everything is perfect in that scene from the patience Kershner has to let the emotion build, to the incredible use of music, to the cinematography. It is a scene where almost no dialogue is spoken and yet more emotion is conveyed from each character present than perhaps any other scene ever put on film. For a director to achieve such an effect with no dialogue is the mark of a truly great directing. Every film student should study it frame by frame. There is no way George Lucas could have filmed that scene and thank god he didn't try.
