Montage of Movie Final Scenes

In this short video, The Last Thing You See: A Final Shot Montage, Zach Prewitt has created a montage of final movie scenes. The video connects final shots by theme, creating a seamless video of wonderful moments in what Prewitt calls, “A meditation on the beautiful, cathartic, and transcendent power of the final shot.”

The collection is divided into eight parts: Awakening/Creation, The Natural World, Youth, Love, The Journey, Triumph, Celebration, and Transcendence. It opens with scenes from The Tree of Life (2011) and Vanilla Sky (2001) and ends with scenes from 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and The Last Temptation of Christ (1988). Check it out.

The music for the montage is “Gathering Storm” by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. For a complete list of movies, check out YouTube.

    Full “Man of Steel” Trailer

    The new full trailer for Man of Steel (2013) has been released. From the trailer, you can see that the latest Superman movie takes us back to the origin story. Some have compared the look of the trailer to Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life (2011), but the music with the images make me think of Gladiator (2000), which starred Russell Crowe who just happens to play Jor-El in Man of Steel. Check it out.

    Man of Steel is directed by Zack Snider and stars Henry Cavill as Superman and Clark Kent. Others in the movie include Amy Adams as Lois Lane and Kevin Kostner as Jonathan Kent. General Zod from Superman II (1980) returns in this film and is played by Michael Shannon. Man of Steel is scheduled to be released on June 14, 2013, so you only have six months to wait for yet another reboot of a film about a classic superhero.
