Luca Guadagnino Says No Movie Should Have ‘90 Takes’ Per Scene: ‘Why Do You Have To Torture People?’

1. Maybe you should just act better the first time /s

2. Outside of any of Kubrick’s movies, is this really an issue?

3. If people just knew how to emote. And throw a pie or two for god sake.

4. Wouldn’t this also include all the different camera shots too?

   Modern editing likes to bounce around a lot to make it seem more interesting or exciting. Unless shooting with multiple cameras, you have to do the same thing again and again.

5. *stares in Kubrick*

6. They’re there to work, and the director decides what the feel of the movie is going to be. If the shot wasn’t right, he can certainly keep trying until it is. This is a stupid take

7. Two takes frakes has entered the chat.

8. Can they do less cuts? You do not feel a punch by super zooming / panning camera. Id much rather watch in a single explosive take then 60 edits for 30 seconds.

9. Poor baby. Wait till he finds out how many repetitive tasks minimum wage earners have to do per day for decades and are not paid millions of dollars for it.

10. I mean, he’s right. If you need 90 tries, you’re probably doing something massively wrong.
