Global warming is barely a big deal at all compared to the trajectory we used to be on. We'll have to do a lot of environmental engineering projects along certain shorelines and it will be a little warmer and wetter in some places, big fucking deal.

i can see it.. fairly Epic

It's possibly the most literally epic thing ever put to screen. A cosmic struggle between the forces of good and evil with the ugliness of humanity caught in between, incarnated on Earth as a three-way Mexican standoff in the middle of a desert cemetery in the American West, amidst the senseless carnage of one of humanity's perennial civil wars. The participants are encompassed on all sides by the souls of the dead, awaiting the outcome of the contest. Ennio Morricone's operatic score heightens this almost religious sense that in this trifling showdown over a stash of buried gold is somehow caught up the fate of the entire human race. In the dramatic resolution to the stand-off, ugly humanity ultimately sides with good over evil, even if just for its own preservation. Evil is vanquished. Humanity nonetheless clings to its abiding greed. The films ends with the avatar of good slipping the noose around a deserving humanity's neck, only to spare it at the very last moment, its reasons for this act of divine mercy remaining forever enigmatic as it rides off to merge with the horizon.

that has to be the most effort put into lip sync ever

It was. They actually had to play the music in slow motion, and they filmed at 12fps instead of 24fps, because it was literally impossible for the puppeteers and hydraulic operators to move quickly enough to get the lips to sync.

Scenes with Moranis and the plant at the same time required Moranis to actually move and sing in slow motion in real life.

The Duel of the Fates is unironically one of the greatest sequences in cinema history, for similar reasons as the Mexican stand-off at the end of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, which I rank it right up beside. The combination of epic allegory, evocative musical score, powerful sound design, and otherworldly visuals come together to create what is arguably the purest and most potent demonstration of space opera ever put to screen. It's right up there with Luke's final approach to the exhaust port in A New Hope, Luke swinging across the bottomless pit with the princess, and Luke's final rage-filled assault on Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi.

The influence of Leone is itself palpably recognizable particularly in this series of shots right here, but like the work of all great rip-off artists is executed so masterfully that it can only be praised as brilliant homage:

This was your worst post ever. Just so you know. Usually, you are a good poster. But this post? This is pretty bad.

Let me break it down for you:

You said part of TPM is one of the greatest sequences in cinema history.

I had to look up what you were talking about because it is so not regarded as a great sequence. GBU face off, yes is great. But your post was the opposite. In fact, I would go so far as to say your post is the duel of the fates of GBS.

I think you probably like TPM. And that is pretty sad.

If my earlier posts were so good and on point, maybe that's an indication that you should reconsider your purely reflexive dismissal, rather than an indication that I suddenly and inexplicably have no idea what I'm talking about?

In terms of pure cinematic craft, the Duel of the Fates is on par with the Mexican stand-off in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. The framing, the editing, the use of color, of sound, of music, the tempo of the action, the rhythm of the choreography, the mythopoetic and thematic undercurrents--everything is about it is sublimely well-executed. Just because something goes against the received opinion of the self-proclaimed critical intellegentsia and legions of butthurt fanboys on the Internet doesn't make it any less true. That said, the Duel of the Fates is actually quite commonly regarded as a great scene in an otherwise disappointing movie, so I don't know where you're getting the idea that it isn't.

I don't want to derail this thread, though.

edit: If we're taking about Fritz Lang, this is of course the obvious contender:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0D4fHieW8o

It's another sequence whose power is derived almost entirely through the power of images, editing, and music.
