Oblivion - I'm curious about your issues with the Heston interview and walk-out. From what I saw, Moore kept asking Heston if he wanted to apologize to the parents of Kayla (from Flint, MI) and to the survivors of Columbine. Since Heston never held a "big gun rally" in Flint, MI, he didn't feel any need to apologize - but it also seemed as if the Alzheimer's may have been bothering him a bit. You could see some uncertainty on his face and it seemed like he was trying to remember what gun rally Moore was talking about. It was embarassing for him that he couldn't remember the rally, and it was very insidious of Moore (IMHO) to keep hounding him because of the glimmer of uncertainty, trying to make him think he did owe them an apology.

In the end, it looked like Heston figured out that - in his opinion - he hadn't done anything wrong, yet Moore kept saying over and over "Don't you feel you owe them an apology? Do you want to apologize to them for your actions?" In the face of such badgering, Heston just decided to get up and leave the interview rather than saying (or doing) something he might later regret.

I'm not sure what you are talking about when you say the walk-out had to be filmed in two takes. I can't imagine Heston actually coming back for a second take after Moore insistent requests for an apology. When Heston got up, he walks towards the cameraman. He approaches the cameraman, then the film cuts to a scene of Heston walking away from the cameraman. To me, it just looked like Heston got up and walked out, going right by the cameraman in the process. The footage of him going by the cameraman may have been too "close-up" to use. Then we see Heston walking away.

To my admittedly untrained eye, it looks like Heston just got up and walked out and the camera followed him all the way. The part where he actually passes the camera may have been cut because he was too close for a clear shot, or the camera may have actually had to be moved for him to pass, which would have given us footage of the floor, ceiling or wall.

I also have no idea what you are talking about in regards to the optical sound tracks. I would really like better explanations of these points so that I can understand them better.
