It felt like somebody was trying to say "look at this cool tracking shot." From a technical standpoint, was it impressive? Yes. (Albiet not half as much so as a couple of the long shots in "Children of Men"). But dramatically, I didn't feel like it revealed anything. Nothing was happening, so more it was like, "okay, sit back, enjoy the tracking shot." Also, unlike the "Goodfellas" shot, it wasn't anybody's point of view. When the camera swirls around the singing soldiers, that's completely disconnected with the character's experience. There's no connection between what he's doing and what we're seeing, except insomuch as they're happening in the same location. No. The purpose of the shot was to convey hopelessness. Notice this beach is also the last thing Robbie will see before he dies. So, no. Its not pointless. At all. It only adds impact to the end of the film. |
