I enjoyed very much your video, can I ask you what software did you use to make it?

[StefanMiklos]

@MrCassavius

I used Final Cut Pro 7.

Fantastico tribute to one of the best films of the 70's. Love the fragmented montage around 230 and the superimposed shots at 345. Harry Cauls inner world comes out beautifully in this vid. Guild, paranoia and stark architecture galore. Kudos and faved.

@zerokomma

The superimposed is not in the film. It is a blend of the bleeding toilet bowl and a stopped reel-to-reel machine from Caul's workshop.

Great job. One of my all time fave lead actor performances and the film is in my top ten all time.

@StefanMiklos WONDERFUL VIDEO, thanks !

@allyourmoney Agreed and another is," We know that you know Mr. Caul. For your own sake don't get involved any further. We'll be listening to you."

"I'm not afraid of death. But I am afraid of murder." One of the best lines of all time.

Very underappreciated film....

Spoiler alert. Watch this AFTER you see the movie.

With the obvious exception of the bleeding toilet scene, this film would have been even more sensational in B&W; it definitely lends itself to it. Great post.
