technical aspects don't necessarily have story significance
Daniel Brown
it started the whole long continuous shot meme
it's pretty impressive since it's pretty long and just perfect
Parker Rivera
Shitty copy of the Boogie Nights opening shot
Camden Edwards
you mean hard boiled did
Bentley Campbell
It's significant because there's a ton of shit going on in it and is done perfectly, a lot of actors moving around and talking including shit being moved which brought a ton of potential mishaps

please never look at the comments of scenes from top rated imdb films on youtube ever, i mean just look at these super intelligent film students
David Cruz
The shot represents Karen's introduction into the mob life.
Liam Sanchez
reminder that this did the long shot better

it's an incredible shot and it's used perfectly well.
it makes the viewer viscerally feel the lure of the mafia lifestyle as we glide smoothly through a lavish room and get the preferential treatment. it makes us feel exactly what his gf feels at that moment, it's a perfect use of cinematography in that it makes us feel the precise way that Scorsese wants us to. on top of that it's just very impressive from a technical standpoint.
Nolan Green
Set the pacing of the film really well - notice how something happens every beat - he sees some friends, or exchanges a quip or two with his girl, or talks to the waiter
builds the world and more specifically the attitude of his life
If you're really interested, watch 8 1/2 or Quai des Orfèvres. They'll demonstrate the pacing I was talking about - there's something new in every shot, gives the movie world a lot of depth.
Connor Wright
The boogie nights opening is far from being impressive
Lucas Collins
my man!
kys!
also why. what did you not like about it?
I thought that slow but steady camera movement set the film up perfectly
it sort of felt porn-starish cuz of the playful carelessness of it
Parker Edwards

Cameron Morales
that everyframeapainting guy is great, he taught me how spielberg actually hides his outstanding tracking shots to great effect
i'd say that this counts as bragging but unlike children of men guy, scorsese makes it work probably because his movie is bragadoccio by theme
