youtu.be/_pdIRHq1BGc (1 minute scene) NO SPOILER AT ALL.
I started watching The Haunting Of Hill House for the first time yesterday and when I saw this scene i had to rewind and watch it again.
Without any information of specific dialogue about this you learn that the guy is estranged from his wife about something he did or said. And all of this is from the sub-text of camera work. The camera focus on his hand on the steering wheel with his alliance, the dialogue is about her waiting for him to say something specific…
If you compare this to almost any recent show (especially the Netflix one), the dialogue would probably sounds like :
- Hey wify, I know that we’re not speaking right now because of [this thing he did] but…
When art start becoming about everyone instead of anyone we lost something…
