The pines

The look. In melodrama, the shot that holds the gaze is allowing us to see the repressed unconcious. Not freudian demons come to haunt us, but revelations of the truth. Clarity comes in an instant. The character sees everything, and so do we. Sometimes fleeting, as in East Of Eden and sometimes painfully long and intense, as in Birth.

Hey there Pete,
Long time no see. Hope things are going well. Yes, I have your 6 ft under too. Will be great to catch up sometime.
