The MAN can make mistakes too!!!!
Not that I watched Duel to pick out the mistakes Spielberg makes during a shoot (which are very few by the way), but I did watch the making of Duel before I watched the film the other night and Spielberg points out where he was sitting in the back seat of the car in one shot (depending on your aspect ratio mind you). This was a relief as a few weeks back while making a short film we noticed the boom in shot in the final edit (again depending on your aspect ratio). i also noticed during Duel while Dennis Weaver sits in the cafe the camera creeps round towards him and there is a mega shadow cast from the camera in the seat in front of Weaver. These things being noted.....what a first movie....even if it was for TV. It was brilliant, the tension was incredible, the acting was outstanding and what's more the directing was phenomenal. I loved it. And like at the end of Jaws I was so relieved that the truck took the plunge. It has to be noted that this film took 13 DAYS to film. Outstanding Mr Spielberg....next Sugarland Express!!!!!
