Elephant (Gus Van Sant) - Steadicam 1

[FilmsByFerguson]

Gus Van Sant and his cinematographer prove to be maverick cameramen all throughout Van Sant's "death" trilogy ("Gerry," "Elephant," "Last Days"). "Elephant" itself is a very audience-dividing film, but it is undeniable how beautifully shot it is, and this scene exemplifies that wonderfully. I myself am in high school and I wish that my daily commutes through the hallways at MY school were as abstract as this.

[HoboHero13]

I bet after they got this shotthey were like "yes!!"

[vanquisher25]

Not everything in life has an action sequence, or should for that matter.

[vanquisher25]

I didn't said anything negative about this movie. We are just making an exercise for school about it, and I gave some tips for people in my class. So please don't post negative comments fefore you even know what I said.

[chandru1103]

I believe it was simply put as "boring" I think that would be negative.

[vanquisher25]

Well, I said boring because we were working on the exercise for more then a hour and It ain't really a exercise that you'd like to do for hours :P

[neuweiwit]

[kaykid2]

Hard to go wrong w/ moonlight sonata

[o0xst]

I watched it, 4x speed through all the artsy scenes...enjoyed it.

[Levinitus]

one of the most beautiful scenes ever

[riazomonero]

There needs to be a modern high school movie that portrays school life down to the tee.

I dont think many have done that at all, everybody has had their experiences, but they are hardly ever recreated on the screen realistically.

[baronvondeckblog]

the high school experiances are different for each person

[joey218cc]

edit FUCK OFFF u prick

[Zmaj73]

the big idea, i guess:

the life of high school kids is artificial. it looks just like a dream.

obviously beautiful and not so obviously creepy.

this scene says more about why those kids became killers than any other scene in the film.

[systemofadownguy]

I agree with you for the most part. But I think the word "explain"is inappropriate, I do no think they were were trying to or even could explain why they did it. It simply is. Which is why it's brilliant.

[joey218cc]

how is that amazing camera work lol walking bwhind a person with a cam LOl

[editwulf]

joey218cc that just shows how little you fucken know, genius.

[kkorova]

probably the best scene from the movie

[RedRibbon17]

You had me at "Hey."

[jjho8]

beautiful shot!!!!!

[jamiswallis]

Amazing camera work, but as a film it is altogether shit--looking at peoples backs for 85% of it. Get on with the fucking story Gus.

[BorisCollage]

The implications are 85% of the story. Gus set this up as a visual story more than anything else. The reversal shots set the tone of "vulnerability"...which is apt to highlight amongst confused and confident high school kids.

[servilesinner]

I especially love the creative way they shot him passing the girls and catching her glance. It worked out so well and flowed so smoothly (of course the slow motion helps).

[cehoblogger]

mi director preferido THE BEST ARTIST EVER

[raefyagiz]

the piano sonata No. 14 in c-sharp minor

[JarTas]

[mistershinobi]

[gropsch]

G.Van Sant is a great artist.
