In Ghost Dog, there's a moment when Forrest Whitaker walks down a populated city street. As he passes each person, they coincidentally happen to turn away from him or get distracted by something else, so not one person sees him walk by. He is effectively invisible. My favorite subtle moment in The Usual Suspects occurs towards the end of the film, during Agent Kujan's interrogation of Verbal Kint. In one shot, Chazz Palmintieri walks behind Kevin Spacey, who is seated in a chair with the camera trained on his face in profile. While Palmintieri is in front of him, Spacey's face is completely blank. When Palmintieri steps behind him, the tiniest, barest hint of a smile appears in Spacey's eyes. By the time Palmintieri is in front of him again, his face is blank again.

BiggerBoat posted:Raising Arizona is full of little things and subtle moments. It's even one of the main themes of the film: "it's a hard world for little things."

quote:The Usual Suspects One of my favorite subtle movie moments in all of movie history is this: There is a scene in which Kujan is interrogating Kint, and Kujan briefly steps behind Kint as he's pacing to the other side of the room. While Kujan is moving behind him, Kint gets the teeniest tiniest glimmer of a smile in his eyes, and by the time Kujan is standing where Kint's face is visible to him, the smile is gone. Kevin Spacey is incredible.

I might be making something out of nothing, but I watched Locke the other night, and in the opening scene you can see Locke's license plate begins with something like AD10, which looks like, "A dio" i.e., "Addio," which in Italian has an air of finality that "Adios" and "Adieu" do not. It's something you would say to someone if you were leaving them for the last time. Which is what happens later on when he's fired and his marriage dissolves over the phone.
