Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Movie is an experimental 12-minute short film from 1958 made by Bruce Conner. Conner did not shoot any original footage, instead assembling a series of stock footage clips to make a montage. While there is no story as such, the film seems to be making a point regarding the glorification of violence and war, the overlap between military aggression and sexuality, and the futility of man's achievements. While the first part of the film shows more exciting imagery—racing cars, cowboys chasing Indians, a charging elephant—the latter portion of the film shows darker and more disturbing injury, such as a dead elephant being butchered, corpses of soldiers killed in war, the Hindenburg explosion, and nuclear bomb explosions.Conner would go on to make several more artistic film collages over his career (ex: REPORT, using footage of JFK assassination, proto-Music Videos for Devo, David Bryne and Toni Basil) . A Movie was selected by the National Film Registry in 1994.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| A Movie / int_4af55b78 | comment |
Credits Gag: The title card "End of Part Four" pops up in the first minute of the film. The End pops up for the first time less than a minute and a half into the film, and reappears several times after. The title and Conner's name also pop up several times, including once when "MOVIE" is reversed. | |

Match Cut | |
| A Movie / int_ed503b22 | comment |
Match Cut: A montage in the earlier part of the film shows several clips of things in motion, with match cuts from clip to clip. The Cavalry chasing Indians cuts to a car driving at high speed, which cuts to a charging elephant, which cuts to race cars racing (and crashing). | |
