ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Michael_Elliott Girls Taking Time Checks (1904) During the early 1900's Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company made a number of industrial films that allowed the public to see what went on inside their buildings. Needless to say, these films didn't contain any sort of plot but some might find them interesting.If you've stumbled across any of my reviews for this series then you'll probably read the exact same thing in each of them. The film starts off well enough as we see a line of women clocking in as they begin (or end) work. The only problem is that we see the exact same thing for over three minutes, which gets very boring after a while since we're just seeing the same thing over and over again. Had this simply lasted a minute like those films from the 1890s then it would have been much more entertaining but we pretty much see every worker go through the line.

boblipton One after another, woman after woman walks briskly but calmly by the stand where her time card is stored and takes it. There seems to be hundreds of them as this goes on for three minutes. When the last is gone, a man rushes in.This is one of the series of industrial films shot by Billy Bitzer at the Westinghouse plant in Pittsburgh. As you might expect from Bitzer, it is well composed and the movement is decent, but it's not particularly brilliant, despite the capper joke. It does illustrate, as do almost all the shorts in this series, the amazing industrial might that was building up in Pittsburgh, but except for the nascent feminist slant, showing these women as capable of making their own living and the laziness of men -- it is of only historical interest.
