So they used two takes of the same scene back to back.
I’m amazed
…and insulted.

Lucas/Chew/Hirsch did the same thing more than a few times in 1977, IIRC.

I don’t think it’s insulting really. It’s just editing. The whole thing is a trick. Some tricks are better than others.

That there’s a big Zapruder-like YouTube video “exposing” it seems odd, to me. “They’re trying to fool you, but we see through their attempts!” Of course they’re trying to fool you. They’re filmmakers.

That said, I don’t really like the sequence. But re-using shots isn’t why I dislike it.

Nailed it. There’s quite a few things wrong here but none of them have to do with clever editing tricks that some Youtube geniuses think they’ve exposed.
