Art of the Title

I'm not accusing them of anything here, but it's really unfortunate how similar the falling man is to the one in the opening title sequence of Mad Men - particularly in the shot where he falls away from the camera. Other than that the styles are totally different though, so let me repeat that I am in no way accusing them of anything. Just making an observation.

Actually, the Mad Men sequence cribs a number of its falling man shots from the end of David Fincher's "The Game." I was surprised at how similar they were.

 

Watch from 04:51 onwards -
