What the name of the movie with the famous action long take where there are no kids being born anymore and they have to save the last pregnant woman?
The one's from True Detective 1 and 2 are both awesome as well.

I second the True Detective season 1 cut through the housing project
And even the cuts are kind of disguised to give the impression of a single shot.
Rope is usually referred to as a "substandard" Hitchcock movie, but I always thought it was pretty great. Not in his "first tier masterpiece" status for sure (Shadow of a Doubt, Vertigo, Psycho, North by Northwest, Rear Window, Notorious, Rebecca) but I think it's solidly in the second tier of his really good movies.
One complete scene with the camera's rolling start to finish.........watch that youtube video I linked.
In filmmaking, a long take is a shot lasting much longer than the conventional editing pace either of the film itself or of films in general. Significant camera movement and elaborate blocking are often elements in long takes, but not necessarily so.
Like OP's clip, all in one shot without stopping or cutting away then back. The walk on the beach surrounded by extras, the horses getting shot, the song then the walk to the railing and looking back at the entirety of the beach, all one shot. Seems tough considering the distance traveled and the amount of extras/props/automobiles included.
