So here I am smack in the middle of The Parallax View (1974) with Warren Beatty when they hit me with this amazing montage sequence. It was really unexpected and quite brilliant - and more importantly, it changed my entire perception of the film.

This clip won’t spoil the movie for you, but you’ll appreciate it a lot more on a big TV screen. What’s happening here: the subject (Beatty) is being shown imagery to gauge his emotional/physical reaction to certain types of stimuli. I was mesmerized for the duration.

If you like political thrillers/conspiracy films, rent this one.
