Dallas Buyers Club

Date night this week....

Movie night..... Dallas Buyers Club.

This had some of the best film editing I have ever seen. It reminded me of some of our storytelling lectures, where we were encouraged to look at how 'film' storytelling can time jump.

Unlike in a theatrical play, a character climbing stairs, doesn't need to step on every single tread. We can cut from a character climbing a couple of stairs and then cut immediately to them arriving at the top - and the viewer still knows and believes that they have ascended the entire flight of stairs..

Well the lead protagonist in this film manages to get to and from Europe and do business deals in 10 seconds....

Brilliant acting - in fact I googled whether or not the actors were really HIV positive - they were so convincing...
