girl you just ruined the best part :( shame on you

@rudyr77 You don't always shoot a scene at the exact time of day the script calls for. This scene was a powerful scene and a setting sun is called "Magic Hour" which is wonderful looking on film. They probably used the look of magic hour to help add emotion.
-
Roger Deakin states that they're drinking beer in the setting Sun, but Morgan Freeman's character says it was 10:00 in the morning??? Hmmm.

@gotfinnegan Talk about being over sensitive... she was commenting on what was happening in the scene, not asking a question about what was happening; which also happens to coincide with the nature in which he is commenting on the scene. You hypocrite
-

it's funny how the girl interviewing roger interjects at 2:05 "so the guard lets tim robbins go?" and roger just ignores her. she would have known that the guard let tim robbins go if she had seen the film. you'd think the person interviewing would at least have seen it before conducting the interview. it's also so rude to interrupt one of the greatest living cinematographers as he's telling you about why he thinks this is the best shot in the movie. she's so clueless.

The assistant director got a tear in his eye during the beer/sun/roof moment. That was the very day everyone thought the film might be special. I would agree too, because they used Morgan's recorded voiceover live while filming. What a moment! PS - I was one of the 2 dudes looking upward on that crane shot.
