i just can’t get over how great this scene is, its really a masterpiece of how to compose an action sequence, the editing, and especially the song track 🥵

when the the hero tries to hide in the cafe at around 1 minute mark and the waiter starts loudly yelling at him, which attracts the attention of the chasers? a little bit of a cliche of the main protagonist attempting to hide, when another character loudly starts confronting him, inevitably drawing the attention of the people looking for the protagonist… like why would the waiter start shouting at him, when he simply wanted a coffee

well, turns out that the waiter is actually another customer whose seat he sat taken, meaning the escalating voice and irritatin on his side are completely explainable

nolan doesn’t have his own style per se, like a visual or compositional style like that of wes anderson or edgar wright, but nolan’s work differentiate themselves by taking at first glance primite sequences and filming them so masterfully that a simple run-down-the-alley creates more tension and anticipation than all superhero movies ever released
