Slow-motion is the voice with which what is past allows us to witness and understand its wonder. Since the earliest days of motion pictures, where a harder or softer crank guaranteed all sorts of high jinks, it's difficult to watch anything today without it! Michael Bay made a career out of it. Some of these shots showed us the power behind the kinema - the movement, some became the standard. Whether it was a look, a conjoined series of moments, everyday happenings, complex actions, openings or finales, they all expressed movement in an exquisite form.
