Idk why but I just love this shot of the movie. While David is the focus still walking on the carousel, I just love the Marko, Paul, and Dwayne walking along side him in the frame.
Honestly A Clockwork Orange has one of the best opening scenes in cinematic history. Likewise with the novel, it’s the opening monologue. It’s ominous, yet tells you everything about what you should expect. Malcom McDowell’s impromptu ‘cheers’ to the audience as he raises that glass of Moloko Plus and very subtly nods his head. He’s piercing through your soul, saying “hold onto your seats, your life is about to change.”
GUYS HOW WOULD S3 START? It wouldn't feel right it not opening with just Aziraphale and Crowley but I don't know what other point they could start at. Like it would be during: some point before the beginning but just after Before.
I finally drew the Bridge scene because it broke me since I first watched it xd. Plus, it inspired me to write a nearly 100k word long story about it. I drew a scene that mirrored it so I couldn't resist.
This scene is so powerful in so many ways. It definitely speaks without words. It's so soft and wholesome too, so I'm really glad I could draw it.

I haven’t watched Episode 1 all the way through yet, but OMG the opening scene! 😍
Right after the newsclip intro, we are led into a tightly-choreographed ensemble-driven, slice-of-life scene that straightaway conveys what a moment in Jim’s late night chicken rice restaurant is like.
The scene is a whopping two minutes long UNCUT, the dialogue is snappy, the actors dart in and out for their bits, and the camera pans, stops and pulls away to wherever the action is. It’s pacy, a little breathless and doesn’t just show us what it wants to tell us, it wraps us up in the hectic vibrancy of a night in Jim’s place of work and makes us feel like we’re there too.
And the music – oh the MUSIC! It thrums and swells, keeping time with the action, building to a climax when we see Jim step out into the street for a breather, with a makeshift altar and offerings in the foreground, whereupon it’s quelled briefly and we share in Jim’s quiet moment of peace.
The colors are rich and oaky, and the look and feel is cinematic. It’s become a bit of a cliché to say a locale is as much of a character in a show as the actors are (e.g., Sex and the City, Call Me by Your Name, I Told Sunset About You) but when it’s true it’s true, and it’s true here.
The overall evokes – I don’t know, a sense of longing and nostalgia? For this wonderful place humming with warmth, life and love.
A thing of beauty, just this opening scene; so beautiful it catches in your throat and aches in your heart. 💖
Director Aof is starting off strong and GMMTV is amping up the quality on this one! 😍
