Salzmank Yeah, I agree. People tend to comment on how the sex the sister and her boyfriend have in the opening scene happens impossibly fast, but what they don't take into consideration is that it's all stylized. In a sense, the onscreen events presented to us is a hyper version of reality. Although it's a single take, there is still a compression of time occurring. And again, it's all to lend the scene a mythic quality. It's as if the events we are watching is the version of the story that has been passed around the town over the years.There's really nothing about that opening scene that is realistic. It's all myth-building. A superb way to think about it (connecting it with The Fog, perhaps), and I completely agree.
