Also, I saw Hacksaw Ridge a few weeks ago. I don’t know how many people saw it. But it’s a violent, gritty war film. There are definitely parts where deaths are glossed over. They happen and then the camera cuts away from them and never returns. Those are fast deaths. Then there are some other deaths that are more dramatic. The camera lingers, and by extension, the audience’s attention lingers. Since the film slows down for a moment or two, so does the editing. There are not twenty cuts in the middle of these slower death scenes.
It’s just basic filmmaking.
