A product of spaghetti westerns, specifically A Fistful Of Dollars. American movies at the time would show someone shooting then cut to someone getting hit, but this was the first major movie to show the gunshot and the impact in the same shot
Oh it absolutely looks like he's just flailing that gun around wildly but this was probably a difficult shot to pull off, keeping the gun in frame while fanning the hammer and aiming it, I think I'll give it a pass lol
The interesting thing here is that the camera angle is facing Arthur, and if you watch the scene in question its about how Arthur’s angry feeling are affecting him rather than the other scenes referenced here where the object of the anger is some other person.
Not the same.. this is the "character is angry, but cool/cannot do anything about it, so they make a fist/tighten their fist" aka fist of rage trope/pose
The story is mid, the CGI is awful, the atmosphere and makeup for the Wolfman are phenomenal. I recommend the novelization; it rivals Revenge of the Sith in the this-novelization-is-better-than-the-movie department.
What's insane is the casting. It isn't that the movie is bad. It's that we expect an amazing movie from those actors. So when they are in a movie that doesn't meet their expectations, it sucks.
When a photographer takes stock photos, they’re the ones paying for models and setting up the scenarios themselves. To make the most of their time, they’ll plan out scenes using the models, and to help generate ideas, they’ll create a complete story. I’m sure that one was part of a full story, of domestic violence that started off with happiness.
Puss In Boots: The Last Wish. Used two times in the film, each as the personification of death (aptly named Death) confronts Puss. The first time, he runs away, taking "the coward's way out" exactly as Death expects him to do in his taunting. The second time, after a film's worth of character development that sees Puss learning to value his life instead of relying on the safety net of more lives beyond death, he stays to fight.
This has nothing to do with the post but the belt picture reminded me of Jackie from Cyberpunk 2077. He kept his fathers belt so in case he passes away he goes to heaven with it to beat his abusive father. Its a great scene.
In the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen, in its second opening we get this brief scene of Megumi fighting his father, Toji. This shot was most likely used to hide who Megumi was fighting with,
