Impressions of a Life Cinematic

“We didn’t have a stick of furniture. We would have picnics in the living room. We ate when we felt like it. Stayed up all night when we wanted. We vowed never to fall into routine, to go to bed or wake up at the same time. We lived on that mattress.”

So I just finished watching The Social Network with commentary by David Fincher. I’m always surprised by the fact that every time I watch this film or about how it was made, I always get a new insight into how it all worked. You get a real sense that there was a lot of thought into making this film, which I guess isn’t that surprising all things considered. Listening to Fincher’s commentary has further cemented my love and appreciation towards him. He is such a meticulous, intelligent and eloquent individual who always has something interesting to say. His commentary tracks are the ones I always find myself listening to, he is such so amazing.

“Now, my friend Tarsem [Singh] did me an incredible solid and we cut him loose— Brad was gonna be in a bunch of different places over the Christmas holidays. So we sort of sent him an Araflex and he flew to all these places. Originally, we were gonna go to ten other locations. So in I think in four days, he shot us all the material we could ever want on, what I call, ‘The Razor’s Edge’ montage. If you gotta get somebody to do second unit, you might as well get somebody who can shoot better than any DP or director that I know of. We would watch it and go, ‘My God, it’s so beautiful’.” - David Fincher, Benjamin Button commentary
