Quote from: billy rubin on May 12, 2023, 07:49:07 PMi cant think of any good films right away. im not a film wstcher. after about half an hour i have to get up and go do something.

therr was a thriller movie called hannah a few years ago.

the script was flawed, but it had a 3 minute continuous shot done of eric banna with a steady cam that was spectacular. very well done, and clearly carefully crafted by the directpr.

then there was the continuous film 1917. about 5 continuous sequences spliced together. worth seeing just for several of the scenes in it

If continuous shots impress you, I am sure you are aware of Hitchcock's film Rope, which was made to look like the recording of the events in real time, without any edits.

Icarus

I watched a Netflix movie titled;True Spirit. It is the story of a 16 year old girl who sailed here boat around the world single handed. For me, as an experienced sailor, the movie was definitely a Grabber.

Jessica Watson, the kid sailor, is another of the crazy Aussies who believe that they can do anything dangerous, and they sometimes do. The movie is a well done account of Jessica's real life adventure.
