Meandering and romanticizing American poverty. Long pan shots of beautiful landscapes with ambient music == atmosphere although it seems that this is such a common trend in cinema nowadays, but it comes off as rather lazy film-making to meMeandering and romanticizing American poverty. Long pan shots of beautiful landscapes with ambient music == atmosphere although it seems that this is such a common trend in cinema nowadays, but it comes off as rather lazy film-making to me reminiscent of a film-student’s idea of what is “artistic” rather than being particularly deliberate.… Expand
