The Montage from The Parallax View (video)
various

Posted on 12/26/2006 3:54:37 PM PST by EveningStar

This is the haunting montage from Alan J. Pakula's great paranoid political conspiracy thriller, The Parallax View (1974). In this scene, the protagonist, portrayed by Warren Beatty, is given a visual psycholical test by the Parallax Corporation - an organization that recruits and grooms assassins. The movie audience sees what Beatty sees. The combination of imagery and music is mesmerizing.

The music was composed by Michael Small.

Not classical music, but you might like it.

Look. I was ready to retire when I was 5 years old. 55 years later, I finally got permission. :)
