Whomever was involved in the editing...


...should never work again.

I turned this off, half way through.

Looking back, I'm still shocked at how much rage I still have when I remember the cut-always to one of the extras standing in the background of a scene.

Ughhh

"Let's blow up a pic of an extra 10x, then have the 2 seconds of footage they were in play backward and forward on a loop until we induce suicide!"

I mean, it's one of those things that isn't just annoying, but stays with you for days with questions like, "Jesus, did people really sit in a editing room and vote that this was a good idea? After that awful choice, did they have to debate how many times the stupid and pointless loop of an extra doing NOTHING would play?"

Basically the most noteworthy thing about the film is that it was responsible for the most boring animated "GIFs" of all time.

I forgot to add, for some reason Netflix suggests this for me constantly, so every time I see it it ruins my whole day, lol.

Art, W. Art.

It's very helpful in making out where they are, and letting it soak in rather, than it playing out for 3 seconds, or one single photo staying up.

You must have serious mental health issues if some documentary's editing puts you in a rage tantrum.
