I loved the way they treated the whole world as a set. There's at least one sequence that seems to travel around the globe in 60 seconds. Very cool, very magical. Movies always seem to mess with geography anyway.
Hadn't noticed that about the stunts, but it makes sense now that you mention it. The sequence at the end of stunts from old silent movies is just jaw-dropping. Those people were crazy! And the amazing stuff they were able to accomplish that way! And of course the title of the movie seems to be the name of a stunt, although of course also a biblical allusion.
holyoutlaw is interested in seeing the movie, so I'm probably going to see it again with him next week.

2. All the stunts are "real"
So it's production itself harkens to a pre-digitalized/pre-special effects cinema (or something like that).
