    In these films, shots last only seconds, and there are regular barrages of rapid-fire cuts.

I'm not a fan of a ton of consecutive quick cuts like the author talks about. A long shot, if done currently, is a beautiful thing. By "if done correctly", I really mean "have you seen Children of Men and/or The Russian Ark"? If so, that's what I'm talking about.

This seems like an interesting idea, though I'm having trouble picturing how a movie like that would work. Unfortunately I haven't seen that Speed Racer movie so that reference was lost upon me.
