Best Commercial Ever, period. - Page 4

So which dolly-out/zoom-in shot from which movie is referenced?

And anyone who's seen the old special-effects show at Universal Studios would recognize the fall from Vertigo instantly.

There's a super-long opening tracking shot... Rope? Or maybe Notorious. I dunno, Hitch liked the tracking shots.

Also, the key is Notorious.

I watched the opening and I thought the long pullback from a subject was straight Scorsese. It was just a little slower than his usual back/forward stuff.

Yeah, I think (as I was trying to snidely imply) that's the source of the uncertainty...he reused he tricks. A lot. So the fall was probably a combination of at least 2 of the above-mentioned options.

Have you seen Jimmy Stewart's Rear Window fall? It's very similar to the fall in this commercial. I've seen it tons of times because it's so funny.

The long tracking shot is also a reverse of the long tracking of the key in Ingrid's hand from Notorious. Could be, I'm wracking my brain, I know there are other long tracking shots like that, To Catch a Theif has the long tracking during the chase at the begining.

The key, how the hell could I miss the key reference? (b!tch slap up side the head)

OK, so I don't know my Scorsese as well as Hitch. There's a still of an actor (De Nero?) above the hitch archives. Is that a still from a Scorsese film?

OH! NOTORIOUS! That was a dumb miss on my part.

Now *I* don't want to be at work either... I want to cut a side-by-side referential comparison.

I think I will do it, actually - I need some Final Cut practice anyway.

That would be neat to see.
I sign up for the viewing of LSPE's comparison cut.
