I had the pleasure of working on "Oppenheimer" for 4 days (costume fitting and 3 shooting days) in LA. 1 of the highlights of my life, an incredibly organized and collaborative spirit production.

I also know a couple people (roommate, colleague/previous co-worker and previous co-worker) that worked with Fincher (lead actor, actor and electrician), the stories that I heard about Fincher 👌🤣🎥.

When your interviewee points out several times that it's a very good question, you've got to be doing something right.

I like he said he could cut time. Here is how: put the movie in DJ software, isolate the vocals and rematch them with the video, cut the film, absent of the soundtrack. Then with the DJ software, isolate the soundtrack and add the audio to your newly cut movie.

Film Courage, I like the extra effort on the editting. 👍👍👍

The Prestige is one of the great films of the last 50 years. Captivating, intricate plot, multiple great actors in Bale, Jackman, Caine, Scarlett, Rebecca Hall, Bowie, gorgeous cinematography, the deep psychology of illusion vs. human credulity, the period details, the big questions like Does Real Magic Exist ?, it’s got it all.

I see the IMDb/rotten tomatoes ratings are 7 or 8 of 10. Pearls B4, swine.??No one thought Casablanca or Blade Runner or the Godfather was anything special at the time, either.

Inception is the best work of Nolan hands down!

[JaydenMomos]

Se7en is the best Fincher film and Benjamin Button comes close second

[catchywatchy]

I didn't even know single guest this film courage brings in.. atleast they should put the titles of films they worked just for us to know they aren't talking trash..

[Enfield]

If anything more should’ve been added felt like a waste of emily blunt and florence pugh
