"And the climactic moment in Coppola's film where the Senator is changed back to a white man from a black man is very moving. The camera follow the Senator in a single shot as the world itself turns from nightime to daylight on what looks like an outdoor location. I don't know how Coppola did it, whether it was done inside the camera or in the lab, but it's exquisitely done. "
I just recently re-watched that moment, and if you look closely, there is an edit at the exact moment of the change from night to day. But I agree, it's a very moving, emotionally complex moment, exquisitely done.
If you'll excuse my redundancy, here is another link to our very recent "This Week on Broadway" podcast with our special guest Petula Clark, live on the phone from Geneva :-) Of course, we talk a bit about FINIAN'S RAINBOW, among other things. |
