Is Filmmaking Bullshit?
Generally, I’m a huge fan of cinema. Then, tonight, I stumbled upon this incredibly captivating amateur video of a camera on a sushi restaurant conveyor belt. No acting, no editing, no production, and yet a remarkably revealing piece. Maybe we’re all just voyeurs who consume anything we’re presented with.
I really get caught up in the relativity of the piece. Are the people moving, or the camera? Yes, we know the actual answer, but functionally either could be true.
I like the part at the beginning where the guy is eating his noodles with chop sticks. It would have been really great if they got DeNiro to play him.
