You've Got Mail - Screen Saver

Okay, in one scene, Tom is talking to Mag on the computer. He types something, hits send, and walks away. It shows her quickly, her responding, him walking around. this took probably a total of 15 seconds, but when he comes back to his computer the "flying stars" screen saver is on, there's no way one would come on that fast. Nothing big, but the director should be a little better at that.

kris writes:: If you will notice, the entire movie is time lapsed. Even in the beginning scenes where the two main characters are talking after the "caviar incident." You will notice the outfit changes when it flips back to each character. This is not a slip-up.; 5 of 5 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

AirProp3 writes:: I Agree with DaBear. It is supposed to be a time lapse. Also it could have been put on fast. You can make your screen saver to go on at any time from on second to six hours.; 4 of 4 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

andrewmccarthyfan writes:: It isn't supposed to be happening at the same exact time. It was probably close to the same time, but there could've been like 5 minutes in between or something.; 1 of 1 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

Sha writes:: Wow, with a movie that's all about people e-mailing, you sure are vague about when this slipup happens. The only time I can remember when Tom is walking around is after he gets her e-mail asking what had happened and why he didn't show up to their meeting. He hits a button, the computer says "goodbye," and he walks around a bit before comming back and writing her. What scene is the flying symbols?? What were they talking about?? I can't find this slipup.; 0 of 0 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

Shadow Lord writes:: This may not be a slip up. If he had the Hot Corners configured for his screen saver, it could have started that fast.; 1 of 5 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

Obeth writes:: What -- you've never seen Hitchcock's "Rope," the classic example of a "real time" movie? It is entirely possible to depict an accurate time lapse in film. Anything else should have some kind of explanation (even if it's merely hinted at obliquely).; 0 of 3 people found this comment helpful. Did you?
