Believe it or not, some of the traditionally inspiring feel-good movies are actually pretty depressing, whether it’s the suicide at the heart of It’s a Wonderful Life, the homicide in Pay it Forward, or the Holocaust in Life Is Beautiful. Those titles convey the ultimately cheery, optimistic message of the films, but there’s a lot of darkness that needs to be overcome in order to reach that point. Joyride (while thankfully lacking any suicides or genocide) is of a similar bent, with the same type of title to boot....

Since Sam Mendes’ 2019 military drama 1917, the “one-shot technique” has been a hot topic of discussion. This method involves directors filming the entire movie in one continuous shot, or at least making it appear that way, as can be perfectly seen in 2014’s Best Picture-winner Birdman, where each scene was shot fifteen to twenty times then stitched together to make it look like one take. It is an ingenious but difficult method, and pays off greatly when done well, as seen by the fact that the director of Birdman, Alejandro González Iñárritu broke cinematic boundaries with the film and won an Oscar for his work (along with the great cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki)....

And when the time came, the Avengers were not ready. Avengers: Infinity War saw the team of superheroes, ultimately, lose their battle with Thanos with a fateful snap of a finger....
