BAND OF BROTHERS: EPISODE ONE + my favorite closeup shots

[blistering-typhoons]

UM HEY- HEY- THIS SURE IS A SCENE

[triglycercule]

sleep deprived dust can't recognize what's dream and what's real when he goes in and out of consciousness so i think dust is allowed to be incredibly reckless when he's awake but thinks he's in a dream. he will kill whoever passes by him (or attempt to. for him it's an instict to shoot bones anyways.) he will drink 4 bottles of alcohol just because he thinks its just a lucid dream. have incredibly loud conversations with phantom paps because he's asleep so nobody will hear him talk. or just have loud ass breakdowns because again he thinks he's asleep!!! nobody's gonna know what he gets up to in his dreams. and until someone (probably phantom paps) tells him that he's not asleep and this is reality he won't realize until he's done something really reckless

horror is seconds away from exploding dust's skull open with his magic while dust is trying to strangle him and FINALLY phantom paps tells him he's awake and dust snaps out of it. killer is walking around the house with bones sticking out of him like pins on a sewing pattern (casually too. another day in the life for him) and he just asks dust what that was about. dust just gets off of horror and shrugs his shoulders with an idk. and then walks away. this is the 6th time its happened this month

thinking abt how in the bible the holy spirit is represented by a dove, an animal that is pure white and represents . purity. And innocence

thinking about how in angel's egg the girl is. well. a little girl (and innocent kid) and is also near pure white in skin tone and hair and is also followed by feathers whenever she runs

warning for a massive ramble in the tags major spoilers for the whole movie if you want to venture in there lmao

Let’s talk about “I’m Okay.”

Because I really want to talk about it:

To start, I am fully in support of the change from the metal spiders to Hera’s throne (I can explain why in a different post, but not this one because this one is dedicated to a specific part)

What I really want to talk about is Walker Scobell’s delivery of the “I’m okay” lines.

Even more specifically, his facial expressions and why their subtlety was perfect….

“It’s okay”

The first thing he says is not actually “I’m okay.” He says, “it’s okay.”

Because this is when Annabeth is second guessing the plan. She’s watching the gold encase Percy and it’s at the point where it’s clearly fully covering his legs that she tells him to move.

And he tells her “it’s okay.” It’s okay that this was the plan they made, it’s okay that this was logically the best one they had, and it’s okay that she’s standing there and not trying to help him.

And he’s not saying “you’ll be okay” because he knows she will be. To him, it’s a no-brainer. He’s telling her that it’s okay that sometimes hard decisions have to be made.

While we don’t see him say that line, we can hear the tone of his voice, which is gentle and reassuring. We can also see his face afterwards. As you can see, the gold only just starting to encroach on his face and it hasn’t fully covered his upper body. When he’s telling Annabeth “it’s okay,” we can see from where his eyes are that he’s looking right at her. His eyes are reflecting light but they’re not watering yet, his eyebrows are slightly raised, and he’s still trying to smile (as seen in the corners of his mouth)

In terms of conveying emotion, raising one’s eyebrows is used to both ask for the attention of whoever you’re talking to and also to provide emphasis. Percy is making sure Annabeth is looking at his face (and not the gold) and he’s emphasizing the words as he says them.

“I’m okay” - 1

After the first “it’s okay,” Percy switches to saying “I’m okay”

This first one is still him comforting Annabeth. If you think about it, the last time Annabeth watched one of her friends being transformed into something else, it was Thalia and she was gravely injured. Percy is assuring her that he’s okay. He’s not in pain, he’s not suffering, he’s okay.

We can see this in the way he’s still looking at her (direction and angle of his eyes) and way he purposefully pulls the corners of his mouth up after he says it. He’s still trying to smile for her sake.

However, we can now start to see some negative emotion in there. See how the inner corners of his eyebrows are slightly pushed downwards??? That’s an indication of sadness. He’s trying to be reassuring and smile but part of him is still sad that this is how it’s ending for him. We can also see it in the way he’s tearing up more now.

“I’m okay” - 2

This is when we see his expression changing more overtly. The first thing we can see is that he’s no longer attempting to make eye contact with Annabeth. This is when it changes to him saying it to reassure himself

He’s still kind of trying to reassure her but he’s now recognizing that he needs to hear it too. It’s at this point where he actually doesn’t close his mouth between lines; it stays partially opened.

While the slightly open mouth is another indicator of fear, part of me wonders if it’s for his breathing.

When Hephaestus frees Percy from the trap, it leaves Percy gasping for air, rapidly taking deep, gulping breaths. This insinuates that, while he’s fully encased in the gold, Percy can’t breathe.

While we don’t know exactly how the mechanics of the golden throne work, it’s quite possible that, by the time Percy was repeating “I’m okay,” he was starting to feel it getting harder to breathe.

On the other hand, him having his mouth open to assumedly help him breathe easier could also be due to the fact that now he’s starting to realize just how scared he is. He’s almost entirely covered and it’s finally sunk in that this is about to be It for him and there’s no doubt that his heart would be racing, which also increases one’s breathing.

“I’m okay” - 3

The 3rd “I’m okay” is softer than the other ones and furthermore, Percy’s stopped trying to maintain eye contact with Annabeth. Now, his eyes are moving around and have an almost “far away” look in them.

By the time we get to this point, his face, which is the last place to be covered in the gold, is nearly covered. If he’s trying to move anything except his eyes and mouth, he can’t. This is when it’s fully setting in that he’s going to “die” and he’s scared.

Even though he asked Annabeth to come back for him after the quest, he had no way of knowing what would happen while he was trapped. Just because Hera survived it, doesn’t mean he automatically could too. She’s a goddess. So there’s still a chance that he’s never walking away from this trap, even if Annabeth frees him later.

We can see his eyes watering more clearly and one more time, we see his eyes momentarily shift to Annabeth before they move away again. He can’t help but look at her. Part of me is wondering if that isn’t for reassuring her but for needing her to reaffirm what he’s saying (such as nodding or something like that). Something to help him believe it.

Now, we don’t see his face becomes fully covered because it cuts back to Annabeth but we do see split seconds beforehand, which is where the most emotion (in my opinion) comes through, almost seemingly involuntarily.

So far, he’s been decent at keeping a relatively calm face. He’s been tearing up a bit and there’s been some small eyebrow movement, but otherwise, his gaze aversion has been one of the only significant things.

However, just seconds before he’s fully sealed in the gold, we get this almost unconcealed look of fear. His eyes are wider, his eyebrows pull in tight, his nostrils flare and he pauses for longer before he says “I’m okay again” because he knows he’s not and it’s terrifying.

He’s frozen before he can say it another time.

I cannot emphasize enough how much I love Walker Scobell in this role.

Congrats if you made it this far.
