``Snake Eyes'' long takes and split screen, just the excitement and madness that is unique to Brian De Palma

De Palma's famous split screen

Furthermore, one of the methods used to develop the story is De Palma's traditional technique, ``split screen''.

He says he has been using this technique since his early work "Dionysus in '69." Although viewers may have different opinions or opinions, it is certainly an extremely effective way to "show simultaneously" conflicting events or decisive moments that occur in parallel.

"Snake Eyes" Split Screen

To begin with, if you were to simply arrange the plot of this film in chronological order, it would be hard to say that it is full of substance. It is at times like these that De Palma, a specialist in "telling through images," shines. His innovative and bold technique destroys and reconstructs the story, drawing us into a world of dazzling excitement and madness.

It is a well-known fact that his characteristic of ``telling stories through images'' stems from his obsession with Hitchcock's works. Furthermore, it is really interesting that this work even has the influence of `` Rashomon '' (1950). When De Palma constructs a kaleidoscope-like subjective world in which each perspective has a different vision, he creates a strange work that is far from Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece.
