Hi fellow redditors!
I was also in that thread!

Edit: Thanks for the gold, kind user.

The driving sequence is the greatest sequence in the film, and one of the greatest in all of cinema.
>>84227929
why though?
>>84228015
What it does for the pacing of the film and its own feeling. One of the most "human" and emotional scenes in film. No words and yet it conveys everything.
>>84228015
To contrast the rest of the movie, idiot.

>the pacing of the film
You mean making an already overlong and slow movie slower?
>>84228649
he just needed a few more minutes to make it feature lenght
>>84228208
I'm sure you're joking because the rest of the movie is slow too.
>>84228015
what you don't get it?
>>84228096
the best explanation I can come up with is that it contrasts well against the next scene which is serene and they're surrounded by nature, maybe to show why the character loves that place. but that explanation is just functional, it doesn't explain why there is nothing happening in the scene.
I have never heard anyone articulate why they like that scene. are you awed by your morning commute? is that also "emotional" for you? is it something going on with the character? or is it the actually driving footage that you like?
i've heard that tarkovsky put that scene in to drive away plebs basically, although don't know if that's true. but that seems like a perfectly valid interpretation of that scene as any

>Meaningless buzzwords
>>84226214
Proof that /film/ is shit aswell
Soderbergh's version was a straight up better film. Only plebs will disagree.
>>84226214
It's a visual allegory of his travel through space you fucking pleb scum.

Mundane and routine?
