The New World
The creators of this film subscribe to the following views:
- Dialog is not necessary. It can be adequately substituted by long takes of the actors looking intently at each other.
- Moviegoers enjoy looking at static scenes of trees or rivers, so they should appear often and last for 20 to 30 seconds.
- A good film is not required to convey a sense of place, or time flow, or continuity. It is OK for the heroine to be taken hostage, only to join the hero again (many kilometers away) in the next scene.
- No film can ever be too long.
Rating: Avoid.
