That's odd, the movie definitely didn't feel like a mess in any way when I watched it.

I think that's a normal reaction, tho, when looking at something that is almost completely experimental and...

I don't think it is even remotely like that. I mean, that may sound like a humorous comment, but it really doesn't hold up to examination.

I mean, if they have any talent whatsoever, they do. Many Scorsese and Spielberg films are full of bravura shots. Was it absolutely necessary for Goodfellas to have a 10-minute handheld tracking shot...

Exactly, and tbh we could use a lot more experimental filmmaking, particularly of the big-budget type, but that's hardly likely to come from the studios.

The one that Coppola made is the good one, there's only one version.

Having said that, it is experimental filmmaking, so it isn't for everyone :shrug:
