This is actually cinema's greatest battle

Описание: The Battle of Helm’s Deep isn’t just one of the greatest action sequences ever filmed — it’s a masterclass in cinematic storytelling and thematic depth. In this video, I break down how Peter Jackson and cinematographer Andrew Lesnie crafted The Battle of Helm’s Deep in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers — exploring the lighting, editing, camera psychology and the thematic weight that make it so immersive.
