Shallow and superficial viewers with low IQ won't notice it.
Also I liked the movie a lot overall. -

2023-03-05 at 12:27 PM UTC in What are you thinking about....Watched the Michelle Yeoh movie last night, from last year. It got a bunch of awards and nominations already.
I's called like anything anywhere all the time or something. It was very good, very well made and executed.
However I did notice something that irked me and got me thinking.
There is an emotional scene where the main character and the secondary protagonist are having a meaningful moment and the lighting effect they chose to make it "surreal" was basically "flat planar orbiting changing colors", like a triangular "ring light" of LEDs where the light pattern travels along the edges of the triangle while changing colours.
During the scene you can very obviously see the reflections of these lights in both actors' eyes/glasses, like you can see the triangular LED light pulsing and nobody CGId it out.
There were other small production aspects I noticed but this one completely pulled me out of the movie.
This is the kind of critical "sweater unravelling" detail that an old time Hollywood director would even have dedicated a whole day to eliminating by getting on the lighting guy's ass, or if it wasn't possible then it would specifically be marked for fixing in post with CGI.
It would be like a baseline quality expectation, leaving it in would be considered exceptionally amateurish. But it's not fixed in this critically acclaimed and highly successful film.
There is something to he said for how production tools and processes have been made more accessible and opened up filmmaking to more people than ever, brought down the costs for making an amazing looking production etc. But the tools for convenience and accessibility can also enable and allow laziness. -

A green party guy is going to claim all kinds of this about the environment that suits his agenda "Welll green billy would say things like that wouldn't he"
An unemployed bridge guy is going to say "oh that bridge needs fixing"…"Well of course he fucking wound, he wants a job"
A conpiracy nut is going to say the US gov was behind 9/11 or they are covering up UFOs "Well a conspiracy nut would say that…" etc..
The point was…you don't believe the guy who has a vested interest in the "project" at hand.
I was clearly expecting too much of the NIS rabble…but no, dumb is as dumb does.

Well he would say that wouldn't he
"This bridge needs fixing says unemployed bridge construction expert"
Except your burn doesn't make any sense.
The construction worker wouldn't be saying the bridge is beyond repair if he wanted a job fixing the bridge.
If that was the case, he would say it is fixable. -
