One of the things that I like about a movie is if it makes me think about who/what the camera is. Is it a character? A god? Part of some piece of architecture?

One of the things that I like about a movie is if it makes me think about who/what the camera is. Is it a character? A god? Part of some piece of architecture? ...etc. Does it control time/linearity, or does time control it? The idea of implicitly giving it a pair of eyes a few inches apart kind of ruins that for me. Why fake biology if you're ever going to make a jump cut? Most of our visual grammar depends on things actual eyes can't do.
