Holding Long and Cutting Short: 2 Brilliant Moments in Editing

[@GhostShakz]

No county for old men is such an amazing movie

[@skuzzyj]

Seriously, every time they bring up a scene, I'm reminded just how spectacular that adaptation was. If it isn't the Cohen brother's best work, it's definitely a very, very close second.

[@VoiceofKane3]

+SkuzzyJ What's number one? Fargo or The Big Lebowski?

[@TheEternalOuroboros]

i was bored.

[@Aeon2Flux]

+Brady Snyder Raising Arizona.

[@Gravitynaut]

+Brady Snyder Fargo is their best movie, at least for me. No Country is a masterpiece but Fargo is just so unique and yet just as thought provoking as Country. It's funny yet bleak, and the characters are some of the most memorable ever put to film. It's easily my favorite Coen Brothers and one of my favorite films, No Country falling just barely behind. The Big Lebowski is good for a surreal laugh too.

[@HDmexsComboCon]

The Hanging Scene from 12 Years a Slave was gut wrenching and tragically a masterpiece. It conveyed what it needed to and then made it better by staying on that shot for as long as it did.

[@bobunitone]

As was later on where it stays on a close up of his face for a long time. You really feel his horror.

[@HDmexsComboCon]

I am mentioning the spot that happened at 0:30. But I am aware of the scene you are mentioning too.

[@ssharkbait]

I was happy they did a little mention to 12 Years. The editing in that movie is fantastic.

[@atayookee]

Yes, I agree. That long shot was "too long." I was so uncomfortable watching it as someone who isn't a person-of-colour. A movie with a great long shot relative to what's going on is the ending and pieces of "Come and See," which is a Russian war film from the 80s. The long shots are very short in duration, but they carry a lot of weight because they jump back to the same image.

[@geogaddi6215]

no country for old man is just a masterpiece.

[@whoisbhauji]

Absolute. Is it that the original material is so good? Is it the casting, acting, editing, minimal music, desert landscape? So many experts have tried to explain why it's good... but somehow it seems beyond all the explanations.

[@arizonaarmadillo5829]

Hardly. It was humming along quite well for the longest time, but that ending was a bad joke. Almost as if the producer had thrown up his hands and told them, "Okay let's get this damn thing wrapped up. I don't care how you do it. We're out of money." When it won the Academy Award for Best Picture I almost put a brick through my screen.

[@luca_hc_gruber]

I think that was a bit too over analysed for my taste

[@NaijaCINE]

That's because the folks at CineFix are students of film, not just regular film watchers

[@MegamanStarforce2010]

+ Sulaymaan Dar Yes they would, in brilliant films like this. The level of thought is in fact the reason these films are so great.

[@NaijaCINE]

You might appreciate the 'pretentious analysis' if you ever were put in the position to actually create a film. It's like creating your own little universe; layers and layers of genius functioning in front of and behind the scenes that goes completely unnoticed by the common consumer, just like in everyday life; we don't realize the level of living complexity happening around us all the time, cause we're so used to it; we're not paying attention. We don't need to actually, but we can appreciate it when people point on the brilliance in the seemingly mundane; and that's what folks like CineFix do.

[@MegamanStarforce2010]

Sulaymaan Dar But *why* were they brilliant to watch? This is one of the many reasons why. You didn't notice, but these types of subtle editing tricks have a massive effect on what you're thinking while you're actually watching. This is merely describing these effects you didn't notice in detail.

[@audiovideo-w6o]

Great video, and I differ slightly on the interpretation of Chigurh's car crash. To me it's not solely about audience misdirection to illustrate the significance of chance, but also to criticize Chigurh's ideology as delusional. Throughout the film Chigurh is presented and referred to as something more inhuman than a regular bad guy, something more like a force of nature. It's also pretty clear that Chigurh buys into his own hype, having people call HIS coin toss for their survival while making it unmistakably clear that he believes it is fate rather than himself that is directing his actions. However, Chigurh himself is not above fate and Elizabeth tells him as much before he kills her. It's no coincidence that this scene comes right before his car crash. I don't think he survived to indicate that chance is the only reality but rather to avoid indicating that karma is the only reality. His survival indicates that evil has always existed and always will exist (to believe otherwise is vanity) but his random and serious injury (differing thematically from his earlier injuries in the film by being irrelevant to his amorality, hence the Coens making sure to indicate that he had the green light) indicates that fate does not protect its worshipers any more than its deniers.

[@timy9197]

Agreed. I couldn't have worded that better myself.

[@superkang7448]

Spot on.

[@DodderingOldMan]

Damn, I like that analysis.

[@Unpossible8888]

Precisely. Another small scene that highlighted Chigurh's all too human fallibility was the one where he missed a shot directed at a crow by the road. Hardly an unstoppable force of nature.

[@ulaytube9953]

[@mike92505]

Exorcist III was one of most underrated horror movies of all time. They didn't have to resort to the battle in the cell with the priests. The old catholic hospital scene was one of the most chilling ever. Totally caught me off guard with the late night. light duty personnel between changing shifts, and the false sense of security with the police officer, checking the hallways. Those little noises in the quiet, just enough to peak the interest of the nurse, was absolutely brilliant. Loved it, and loved Brad Dourif, one of his most iconic roles this side of LOTR.

[@beninglis8097]

That exorcist 3 scene they reference makes me feel ill. You are wound up and lured into a false sense of security so perfectly, then somewhere between letting your guard down and realising you are still on the hook... BAM!

[@michaelbloomer451]

Best jump scare in cinema

[@MrBeastknows]

Honestly, never see Ida but watching that scene for the first time, right as she opened the window I literally thought "welp, see ya downstairs then" lol. I had no suspicion, I knew basically right away. That usually happens for scenes like those, not sure how everyone else sees them.

[@MrBeastknows]

The No Country for Old Men scene was excellent when I first saw it. Maybe if I saw Ida and its scene before this video, maybe I would've been more affected.

[@Nevi234]

yeah as soon as I saw the window open and the camera linger, i knew it would happen. same for when i first saw that game of thrones episode. i'm guessing that was the point. i still think letting the shot linger is a good technique, as it lets the audience think about what's about to happen. Ida's a pretty good film.

[@bobunitone]

Ida is a spectacular little film. The compositions alone are enough to watch it.

[@07foxmulder]

Yeah, it was pretty obvious why the scene was fixed on the window.

[@MegamanStarforce2010]

That was the point really. Maybe people won't be as fast as you, but a shot lingers so it can give you a chance to anticipate what happens next. It could've not happened outright, but you 'expected' that it would, because that's what they wanted you to do. It wasn't a surprise, just something that's meant to slowly sink in.

[@Murilo5150]

The long cut at the end of Episode 24 of Evangelion is one of my favorite long cuts and one of the few drawn out scenes in animation. You don't quite understand the drama upon first viewing, but it makes much more sense on multiple viewings.

[@timalphadog2]

I need to watch No Country. Even tho I'm pretty sure it's been spoiled for me 10 times over.

[@ramairgto72]

Bruce Willis is dead. :D It's worth a watch, it's got some great "one liners" and great sittings. This movie really needs a part2.

[@MrJammybob1]

It's a fantastic film, beautiful in it's simplicity. Yet it's still a great thriller, alongside being a very interesting and thoughtful narrative. Seriously worth a watch if you love film.

[@johnsmith5669]

It's not so much a plot heavy movie, I'd say. Spoilers couldn't ruin the film because it's about symbolism, emotion, character, and dialogue. The same could arguably be said about any Coen Brothers' movie.

[@sidharthaa]

get ready for awesomeness to watch it!!!

[@BOKtober]

I assure you it hasnt been spoiled for you, you will be pretty much dumb founded but feel the need to watch it again. Such an amazing piece of film making and made even better by the use of ambient noises as the soundtrack which adds an awesome layer of realism and grit to the movie, its also very darkly humored

[@MrMomoitin]

watching CinFfix is like taking every film class at college but 100 times better. you learn more watching these and its free!

[@unemployicus]

"A story has two parts: its narrative, the story that is being told, and its narration, the way that its being told." Narration is what makes Kubrick's movies so great. There's a lot more to their meaning/a deeper meaning then what the characters are communicating through dialogue.

[@forformgamer]

I just cant get enough of the videos talking about the art form that's cinema. This is great!

[@jadelynnopal]

There's another meaning to the jump cut used in No Country. The end of a jump cut in a scene like that implies that you've already seen what was important in that scene. Let''s take another look at what happened. He walked out of the building and checked his shoes. Now, I don't know about you, but I find it an interesting turn of events to first walk out of a building and THEN check the bottoms of your shoes to see if there's something on them. Which raises the question of what he could be expecting to see when he checks down there. Using logic based on what was in the scene just prior to that one, it should be fairly obvious that the Coen Bros actually gave us an answer to that implied question.

[@lustgarten]

not a big deal, but cutting from him in one scene to another is a "cut" not a jump cut.

[@tylerh5990]

I really appreciate the over-analyzing. Seriously, from a film watchers perspective, it's on point. However, from an average movie goers perspective, the beauty of these intricacies goes mostly unnoticed. Thanks.

That shoe check was so fantastic. I almost jumped out of my seat in the theater.

[@coyotesong]

I've been a fan of the Coen bros since their first release, Blood Simple, which shares many qualities with No Country--taking place in Texas, moody, violent moments, intelligent. similar to other commenters, the first time i saw it i was like ok, good, but no big deal. I went back and was utterly blown away by its perfection. The conversation about the coin between Kelly McDonald and Javier Bardem was in my mind the critical essence of the film.

[@rigdigwus]

the first time i watched No Country for old men i thought it was a good movie and went on with it. But the more i see videos like this and rewatching it with all this new input i realise how good this movie actually is and i really learned to appreciate it for what it is and why i actually liked it in the first place.

[@amunra7173]

I always thought it was pretty obvious that the Bardem shoe check was a solid indicator that she'd been killed. He displays a specific amount of attention to his foot tracks throughout, from putting his feet up, to killing in his socks & removing them. So, that he checks his shoes, is all we need to know of that scene. It's brilliant execution of direction, literally. They literally direct you to make that connection. My personal favorite Coen film

[@bizmonkey007]

When it comes to the long shot, it's not just the editing, but the direction as well. The director, in key instances, is the one that makes the decision to hold the shot longer. Both work together in the editing room to ultimately shape the film.

[@SpecificallyDanielSwan]

These brilliant moments videos are so good. Like a film school that you don't pay for and attend in your underwear.

[@easilydistracted5192]

As a writer of prose I find knowing how to do pacing and cutting is just as important as in movies, it's just so rare to find KZbinrs actually going into prose rather than film, so I'd rather watch you since you're pretty much the best at film. The problem is, you don't want to be a bore, you don't want to follow an easy formula, you don't want to imitate and you don't want to take ten years finding your voice and mode. What do you do. When do you stop a scene. This video's just made that more complicated. Which is good.

[@rsm5173]

No county for old men is a typical coen brothers ending. Fargo, Burn After Reading, the Big Lebowski. All end without a typical story resolution. This is not to say it's a bad thing, I for one love it. I love it when average audiences get annoyed with is subversion of expectations.

If they showed the tub scene and then cut to her body on the street, we would've known the same info. If they showed the tub scene and then a regular duration window shot with her jumping, we would've known the same info.

[@montagproject]

Yes it's pretty obvious from this clip, because upfront You expect that there will be something special and unexpected in that scene, but believe me, in the movie it does surprise more, because we see Wanda as strong and cold, not a person that would think about suicide really.

Amazing video, as always. However, I always perceived the cut of Chigurh leaving the house as something more maningful that it seems. It is a way of showing the audience that he is checking the boots, hinting to the fact that he has probably killed Carla Jean Moss. Indeed, throughout the movie we have seen that Chigurh is really conscious about his boots after a killing, so in my opinion it is a way of implying that he is checking if they are still clean and untouched by Carla's blood.

For the moment when Anton check his boots while going out of the house, it actually has an importance: it tells us that the girl died. In the whole film, we can see that Anton wants his boots to be clean. So him checking if there is blood on his boots is a clue about the fact that he killed the girl.

[@jakeboos9860]

[@Divineshot]

Very informative.

[@AlejandroGonzalez-mk5dz]

The fact that he checks his boots confirms that he killed Llewelyn's wife as evidenced by the fact that when he killed Carson, he lifted his feet off the floor while on the phone with Llewelyn so as to avoid the blood - ironically, at that time, he was threatening Llewelyn about hunting down his wife thereby foreshadowing the final act. So when Chigurh leaves Carla's home, we've come full circle in the final phase of an inevitable event that has concluded the same way it began, with Chigurh making sure he didn't get any mess on his boots. The recycling of such a banal and habitual behavior of Chigurh's is a visual representation suggesting that his will is as ubiquitous and eventual as our most inane habits underlined by the long cut - it shows us just how psycho he really is. Beautiful cinema and epic story telling.

I don't know, man. Sometimes it seems that you people try to find too much in films. I mean, maybe it is just one of those long scenes that Coens like to put in their works. There's no need to search for the meaning all the time. Sometimes there isn't any.

nonsense

[@kevinmathewson4272]

In this case you're actually wrong. You're wrong because the scene really does produce the effect he's describing. It's not a hidden meaning, it's an effect. It's not "Interpret the flow of this shot as the following verbal meaning _____." It's not code on the back of a cereal box. It's an effect, and we all felt that effect when we watched the movie, so when he talks about it we all think "Yeah, that is correct, that is how it felt." The shot produces a certain effect, and he dissects why it produces that effect.

I dunno, everything in No Country felt extremely deliberate. There are many filmmakers, on the other hand, who overload their works with lengthy shots without recognizing their purpose or impact. If people just like to stick long shots in their films for the hell of it then it's pretty easy to recognize that they don't carry any weight.

I love the fact you brought up Edgar Wright's editing. It's genius of course, but also in that it provides an interesting way to tell stories AND to for visual comedy.

This makes me want to take a refresher movie class again. This was quite enjoyable

No Country For Old Men is a masterpiece

I love your channel, always a pleasure to watch and learn!

That long shot from Ida actually had another remarkable effect for me. I figured out what was about to happen a few seconds early, but that actually heightened the tension. When is it going to happen? How will it happen? Every second was a build-up to the inevitable.

I cannot believe 12 Years A Slave is not featured in this video. The way they hold on to shots to create tension in that movie is incredible.
