![]() ![]() ![]() and just as important to see (if possible) on a big screen the first time. It's almost as much of a jolt as the narrow-to-wide cut at the beginning of "Road Warrior". And BARRROOOOMMMM!!!! that huge bike roars into life and the camera pulls back as we see them ride away. I love to put this on for people who have never seen it and have no idea of what they're in for - the careful arrangements, compositions and camerawork of the opening sequence, as the King and his Queen tarry a while in the (probably enchanted) woods, in the lovely golden sunlight, then dress themselves, he girds on his armor, he mounts his mighty steed (shot composed so that we see only his torso, the steed being out of shot at the bottom), she mounts side-saddle on the pillion. But even when i watch it and say -Yup, too long!- i can never decide what to cut. ![]()
