I like movies, you like movies, we all like movies.
The development of film and the progression of the cinema over the past hundred years is nothing short of spectacular.
Film editor Jacob Swinney wanted to remind us of that with this beautiful 100 shot compilation of all his favourite scenes.
He writes:
“[This video is] a journey through the past 100 years of cinema–the most memorable shot from each year (in my opinion).
While many of these shots are the most recognizable in film history, others are equally iconic in their own right. For example, some shots pioneered a style or defined a genre, while others tested the boundaries of censorship and filmgoer expectations. If anything, I want this video to be a reminder as to why we all love cinema so much.”
Jacob has pulled scenes from classics like Birth of a Nation, Citizen Kane, Frankenstein, Scarface, Snow White, The Wizard of Oz, It’s a Wonderful Life and A Streetcar Names Desire. The Dark Knight, Avatar, Inception, The Tree of Life, The Avengers, Gravity,
Boyhood and Mad Max: Fury Road make the cut as more contemporary triumphs.
