Thanks!

Notice we have at least TWO other friends here at the very beginning--

A Mr JGL at .06 to .07, and--

a Mr JF at .23 to .26 (but that one is easy)--

All very clever!

;D

Post by: Front-Ranger on September 29, 2011, 09:36:23 am: I spotted Aron Ralston walking through the Blue John slot canyon and little Danny Torrance running through the maze at the Overlook Hotel! It's surprising that there weren't scenes from The King's Speech, since there were several tracking shots emphasizing the king's (Colin Firth's) back and shoulders.

Title: Re: "I'm walkin' here!"
Post by: Sason on October 01, 2011, 10:45:06 am: Chrissi, it's a compilation of a large amount of film clips, all of them showing people from behind walking ahead in various settings.

Heath as the Joker is one of them.

Sorry, Chrissi--

It's a VERY clever compilation of hundreds of film clips, each no more than a few seconds long, of shots of the backs of people walking away from the camera--and the editing cleverly keeps the rhythm, the mood and sometimes the words of the lyrics of the song "Twenty Five Miles" ("Walkin!") by Edwin Starr, and of the feeling of motion away, seemingly infinitely.

Some of the clips, again no more than a few seconds long, are interesting puzzles--until you realize you are seeing Heath as the Joker, or James Franco as Aron Ralston, or Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Inception FROM THE BACK, walking--sometimes edited as if the stride is continuing from clip to clip. Again, VERY clever!

Here's the song--I hope this isn't copyrighted also!

[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi0nFlUeN0o[/youtube]

C'mon feet, start movin'
Got to get me there, owww

Hey hey, uh huh, huh, huh, huh, oh
Uh huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, yeah, oh

Twenty-five miles from home, girl
My feet are hurtin' mighty bad
Now I've been walkin' for three days
And two lonely nights
You know that I'm mighty mad, huh

But I got a woman waitin' for me
That's gonna make this trip worthwhile
You see she's got the kind
Of lovin' and a kissin'
A make a man go stone wild

So I got to keep on walkin', mmm hmm, huh
I got to walk on, oh ho ho
I-I-I-I-I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride

I got fifteen miles to go now
And I can hear my baby callin' my name
It's as if as though I'm standin' at her front door
I can hear her that doggone plain

Now I'll be so glad to see my baby
And hold her in my arms one more time, huh
Now when I kiss her lips
I'll turn a back over flip
And I'll forget about these feet of mine

I got to keep on walkin', hey
I got to walk on, let me tell ya y'all
I-I-I-I-I'm so tired, huh
But I just can't lose my stride

Owww

C'mon feet don't fail me now
I got ten more miles to go
I got nine, eight, seven, six, six, six
I got five more miles to go now
Over the hill just around the bend, huh

Although my feet are tired
I can't lose my stride
I got to get to my baby again
I got to keep on walkin', mmm hmm, hey
I got to walk on

Wait, let me tell ya y'all

I-I-I-I-I'm so tired, huh
But I just can't lose my stride

Walkin' yeah, huh
I got to walk on
Let me tell ya y'all
I see my baby just across the fence...

I bet there are film buffs out there who are deciphering them as we speak and will pride themselves on identifying all or almost all of them.

It got really worse in March 2009, when "Music videos for major label artists on YouTube have been unavailable in Germany since the end of March 2009 as GEMA sought to raise its fee charged to Youtube to 12[3] euro cents per streamed video.

Yup. That's what I found when searching youtube for a not-cencored version of the video. :)

I haven't seen this classic, BTW. So, delayed movie releases, cencored youtube, or whatever evil, there's still enough stuff out there for me to watch. :laugh:
And I'll start soon. Tonight my daughter and I will have another movie night together. We'll finally see 127 Hours (half a year after Brokies on BM talked about it, lol). I'm so happy that I now have someone in the family who is willing to watch movies in the OV with me. She wants the English subtitles on, but that's okay. Bless the girl and her English skills.

JGL
James Franco (no wonder, I saw 127 Hours two days ago)
Heath (of course)
Matt Damon (another favorite of mine)
Jack Nickelson only because of the axe, and he was mentioned on this thread
The woman from Jurassic Parc at 1.08
some people from Jurassic Parc (Jeff Goldblum, the woman again) at 1.46
Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne from Matrix at 1.24
Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator at 2.13

I think I recognized, not sure though
Brad Pitt at 0.32
John Travolta at 1.09
Will Smith at 2.09 (the ears)
A scene from the new Start Trek movie at 2.11
A scene from Das Boot at 2.44
Tom Cruise in the Nazi movie (Walküre?) at 2.50

There were several shots I would have liked to see more of. Just a glimpse of a second from a movie, and I'm interested in it. Strange.
