Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme and Sandra Good as wood nymphs photographed by Charles Manson (with a color camera stolen from Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys) at Spahn Ranch and in a Californian redwood forest, period 1968.
If I had a nickel for every time a rechter deutscher Politiker has said "ich bin nicht queer, ich bin [homosexuell]", I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
First frame: Love the atmosphere. Usually, shots like this would be shown from a different angle, or positioning the house on the right side of the frame and leaving an open, inviting space in front of the door to make it seem welcoming. However, the opposite is done here. The cabin is positioned on the left, leaving almost no space in the front part. This isn't a nice place to be, you don't wanna join them. Also, its completely surrounded by trees, making it feel trapped; they're out in the wilderness, but still, they can't run away.
Second frame: Beautiful composition, production design and lighting.
Third frame: This entire sequence is creepy and disturbing. I love the way they reveal the corpse for the first time. This frame, in particular, is very interesting. Once the "plot twist" is revealed; you realize you're watching a very intimate moment for Shauna. It's not just a silly conversation between two friends. It's a deep part of her brain, full of grief, guilt, fear and the impossibility of letting go. The framing of the characters, using those leaves, give the viewer the sensation of spying on her, of watching something we definitely shouldn't be watching.
