Power to the people movie windows#
Krings, who also did the editing on Ross’s 28 Hotels Rooms, said that although making sure that everything looked real and worked on the set was of prime importance, they also took advantage of a time when the school bus got stuck in traffic on the freeway to ad-lib a scene where they projected images of the landscape along the highway on the windows to give the feeling that the bus was moving while Ben delivered his ad-lib speech.Ĭinematographer Stéphane Fontaine, who has earned three César Awards for his work on Rust and Bone, A Prophet and The Beat That My Heart Skipped, shot Captain Fantastic using the Arri Alexa with Leica Summicron-C Lenses and Leica Summilux-C Lenses. However, the deer scene was filmed with a trained deer named Leland, “who did not do one thing he was trained to do” said Ross, except when he laid down to die, which according to editor Joseph Krings, he did beautifully. Ross explained that he wanted to make it clear from the beginning that this was not a road film comedy and he wanted it to be as real as possible. Although one understands that to live off the land you must kill and eat game, the line in the credits that said “no animals were killed or harmed in the making of this film” was somewhat suspect. The film opens with a brutal, and almost barbaric, scene of a deer being hunted and killed as a rite of passage for the oldest son Bo (played by British actor George Mackay). When his wife dies, his ideas about how he is raising the kids are challenged both from within and without the family, which leads to a story that is both heart-wrenching and comic at the same time. I wanted a story that makes you question what you are doing and provokes many points of view with no clear heroes or villains,” said writer/director Matt Ross.Ĭaptain Fantastic is the story of a devoted man raising his six children off-the-grid. I did not want to do that with this film. “Big Hollywood movies tell you what to think and feel.
