I like how it's nearly two minutes of men standing absolutely motionless, with a completely stationary camera, with no score, no building tension, no close-ups

  Are you perhaps being sarcastic? Because it's a great scene. The whole movie's great on the same basis. It's classic film that has the authentic feel of the period, for those who weren't alive then, and lets people simply experience what's happening on the screen. The devices you mention are what makes most movies unwatchable. The over the top and increasingly forced devices used to essentially manipulate the viewer, lest there's any ambiguity as to what they "should" be feeling. No room for subtlety, just shove it down the viewer's throat. They're a great alternative to fine acting, directing and cinematography that's able to speak for itself.
