He’s never in a hurry—we only see him running once in the entire film. Instead, Stan moves with measured precision and in a couple places, notably the highway ambush and the attack on the Triskelion at the end, the scenes cut between Captain America frantically running from point A to B while the Winter Soldier casually strolls to his destination, stopping only to kick people into jet engines. That contrast is subtle but it makes the Winter Soldier seem more in control—he’s already there while everyone else scrambles to catch up. ... The framing of the Winter Soldier is very deliberate throughout the film. He’s never revealed straight on in full frame. Instead he comes in at angles or is glimpsed through fire and smoke—our first-ever look at him is as a distant, shadowy blur. The effect is unsettling—you never know where he is or where he’s coming from, which unnerves the audience as much as it does the heroes. And he is always preceded by violence. He doesn’t show up and then start shit—shit is already started by the time he emerges. Violence is a harbinger for /him/; he is not a harbinger of violence. It’s a subtle difference but it serves to highlight that he is not the product of violence but its cause, once again emphasizing his control over the action on screen.]]> !captainamerica movies meta https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:71c084fd489f/ 2014-07-16T02:23:50+00:00 http://cinesnark.com/2014/04/23/captain-america-ruined-superman-for-me/ epaulettesThe Winter Soldier understands the difference between a morally compromised character and morally compromising a character. Cap’s whole world from Bucky to SHIELD to his past so-called heroic deeds have all been corrupted, but he himself remains true to the character we’ve come to know both through the comics and his previous appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They show us a good man who remains good until the end, no matter what happens to or around him. That’s where The Winter Soldier derives its conflict, from a character of black and white morality trying to live in our shades-of-grey reality. The theme of The Winter Soldier in short: Let’s crank the moral ambiguity to eleven and see how Cap handles it. They essentially create a situation in which Cap HAS to cling to his moral code because it’s quite literally all he has left in a world he doesn’t especially want to live in anymore.]]> !captainamerica movies meta via:thatspotonthe_t https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:1c579a59eba2/ 2010-09-14T08:31:31+00:00 http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=67502 epaulettes tomhardy interviews movies !inception https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:a72fe72d8db6/ 2010-08-09T05:19:20+00:00 http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2010/jul/04/tom-hardy-actor-film-inception epaulettes tomhardy interviews movies articles !inception https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:d4833a3dfb36/ 2010-08-07T09:02:48+00:00 http://clothesonfilm.com/inception-jeffrey-kurland-costume-qa/14317/ epaulettes fashion articles movies !inception https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:b7c56d12d582/ 2010-08-07T08:57:27+00:00 http://www.chud.com/articles/articles/24477/1/NEVER-WAKE-UP-THE-MEANING-AND-SECRET-OF-INCEPTION/Page1.html epaulettes movies meta articles !inception https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:c905efa07852/ 2010-08-06T07:42:54+00:00 http://www.salon.com/entertainment/movies/film_salon/2010/07/19/inception_explainer/index.html epaulettes movies articles meta !inception https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:7f6ae0f28be2/ 2010-08-06T01:44:02+00:00 http://lazenby.tumblr.com/post/891007064/in-praise-of-inception epaulettes meta articles movies !inception https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:85190d14ba96/ 2010-07-28T19:55:57+00:00 http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/07/the-neuroscience-of-inception epaulettes movies articles !inception https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:6daf96b5e6ed/ 2010-07-24T18:31:25+00:00 http://community.livejournal.com/inception_kink/756.html?thread=1357300#t1357300 epaulettes:DDD ]]> movies arthur/eames !inception https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:2c235f15ac2b/ 2010-07-24T14:43:39+00:00 http://articles.latimes.com/2010/apr/04/entertainment/la-ca-inception4-2010apr04 epaulettesmovies articles !inception https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:59ea3618525d/ 2010-07-23T00:06:29+00:00 http://www.granta.com/Online-Only/Cinemas-Invisible-Art epaulettes writing movies https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:279380a0c2b8/ 2010-07-04T08:12:41+00:00 http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/the-last-airbender-its-like-tai-chi-meets-racism/Content?oid=4381522 epaulettes movies lol awesome !avatar https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:010e378a286a/ 2010-01-22T21:40:37+00:00 http://www.graphic-exchange.com/exellence/prologue.htm epaulettes movies awesome art !sherlockholmes https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:2acde6311b5e/ 2009-10-26T22:37:40+00:00 http://community.livejournal.com/wednesdaydreams/10445.html epaulettes picspam movies tv !merlin https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:74f6bb3c525b/ 2009-08-13T20:42:03+00:00 http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/article/32-new-fantastic-reimagined-posters-from-turner-classic-movies epaulettes art movies https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:89ab648c7c6c/ 2009-08-12T01:30:05+00:00 http://geektyrant.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/3d863a08d8ab4651_94cbbc9affc3af24_o.jpg epaulettes art awesome movies graphs https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:357021a3e312/ 2009-08-08T04:45:11+00:00 http://wellknowwhenwegetthere.blogspot.com/2009/08/sincerely-john-hughes.html epaulettesmovies johnhughes writing https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:9d15ad8d3deb/ 2009-07-13T15:34:05+00:00 http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/article/tcms-summer-under-the-stars-posters-are-phenomenal epaulettes movies art https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:7f7aba4a8b08/ 2009-04-16T23:55:38+00:00 http://www.postmodernbarney.com/2009/04/uncomfortable-plot-summaries/ epaulettes haha articles movies tv https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:b428d5e55bba/ 2008-11-23T09:37:53+00:00 http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2008/11/slideshow_of_twilight.html epaulettesmeta fandom movies !twilight https://pinboard.in/u:epaulettes/b:f6ce4612dbc9/
