Review of Manhatta

Manhatta (1921)
7/10
highrise construction work
16 March 2021
It's an 11 minute silent short of Manhattan cityscape. It talks a lot about building and skyscrapers. Along with a variety of city life, it does follow some construction. It's missing the 1st POV on walking the steel beams. I don't know how heavy was the camera but they could have given it to a construction worker so that he could film high up. I need that sense of vertigo. I guess they do have to hand crank the camera but construction workers are really coordinated. They do obviously film from some rooftops or high windows to get the high vantage point. It's not the same thing. The construction of each film frame looks very artistic. This looks really good. I just need the high beam walk for it to be perfect.
