amazing long shot

There are many famous long shots in the history of film. This long shot is one of my top 5. It has simple movement and simple composition, but it is full of classics and full of flavor. I watched this scene a dozen times in a loop one day. I don't know why it has a strange attraction to me. It is said that this kind of composition should be relatively common now, and it may be wonderful that it is not only the moving woman who is moving away, but also the man who is still in the lower left corner. There is no movement, but there is a sense of interaction.
