Macaframa is awesome. All those movies are.
Anyways, lots of bikes are designed to be low and have more seatpost exposed. Outside of that, that is just the bike they were riding for that movie. Its a trick movie. Not a "which bike fits best and is most comfortable" movie. I wouldn't try to analyze it.
