Talk of the gorgeous cinematography is exactly analogous to picking
up a novel and saying, "what wonderful use of the word 'asseverate'
or 'badinage' or 'quondam'." What smart sexy words and look how well
used! Or picking apart Mozart and saying, "lovely use of the 'A
note' or the "arpeggio". Certainly this kind of thing is done, but
in these cases it becomes that much more obvious that the admirer is
missing the point, which is the flow, the story, the totality and its
implications for our existence, our apprehension of beauty IN the
cosmos, not abstracted from it.
