This is a great scene that would probably be impossible today.  40 seconds, no words, no camera movement, no zooms, no close-ups, just a woman reacting to her husband’s treatment of their dog (which we don’t see) and her apprehension about what’s to come of their life and marriage since he’s been cheating on her.  40 seconds is like, what, 80 jumpcuts in a Michael Bay film?

I found out in the commentary that this entire cityscape was created on the studio backlot, and that the far end buildings were smaller with midgets walking in front of them in order to give the illusion of perspective in a larger space.  I imagine this would all have been made with computers today.
