Weird, Blurry, Blown Out, Dutch Angle, Hand-Held Black and White


Why? Plus, it looks like standard-definition video that hasn't been set right.

Strange stuff, especially since Walter Hill made so many excellent Westerns, both movies and TV.

It's a choice that's very distracting.

Not something I would want to watch ... but what is "Dutch Angle"?

You know, Wikipedia is copyright free ...

The Dutch angle, also known as Dutch tilt, canted angle, or oblique angle, is a type of camera shot which involves setting the camera at an angle on its roll axis so that the shot is composed with vertical lines at an angle to the side of the frame, or so that the horizon line of the shot is not parallel with the bottom of the camera frame.[1] This produces a viewpoint akin to tilting one's head to the side.[1] In cinematography, the Dutch angle is one of many cinematic techniques often used to portray psychological uneasiness or tension in the subject being filmed.[2] The Dutch tilt is strongly associated with the German movie scene during the expressionist movement, which used the Dutch angle extensively.[1][3]

I realize that. But, because you couldn't do your own Internet search, I posted the link for you.

When you use a term of technology or art that few are familiar with you should define it, like with acronyms.

Just say you don't know how to look up stuff on the Internet. That's what the Internet is for.

The internet is not for you to give me homework - you are making a comment presumably so other people can understand something you want to express ... then don't wuss out and be lazy. In terms of efficiency, it is better for you who presumably also know that this means and do not have to look it up to say it, or to distribute that to your readers and make it have to be done "n" times.

Nap nap time. Grab your bottle and suck on it, since you're still a baby.

Behold, MovieChat users, the whiniest poster there is on here...

Yeah, you don't have anything to offer anyone with such a denial of your own incompetence and inability to take a little criticism without lashing out hatefully. You know, lashing out in hate is a signal that the person you are lashing out at is right and you know it.

Poor baby. :-)

Makes as much sense of the rest of the BS you've come up with.

So funny.
