One of My Favorite Movies

Of course, I have a few favorite movies too!  One in particular is "Limitless" directed by Neil Burger.  If you ever have the chance, take the time to watch it with the audio commentary he gives explaining the show.  Its very interesting, and I love this movie based on the cinematography that went into it.  In its own right, the way the film was captured tells its own story.

For example; in the commentary director Neil Burger explains what they call the "infinite zoom" which is used in the beginning of the movie and several times during the show to display the main character's lapses in memory while running through New York, NY on foot.  The visual impact of the "infinite zoom" is astounding.  It makes you as the viewer feel as if you are the main character.  It portrays his feelings of being indestructible, infinite, and basically feeling as if he could live his life forever without limits.

I like how that aspect of the film is able to create such an environment for its viewers.  There's nothing else like the feeling of being inside the story yourself.
