#it’s quite self evident that in the void the doctor’s conspicuous absence leaves behind jack comes to fill it

[thefiresofpompeii]

holy blocking batman. on the nose? sure. a shot that seems to have been composed specifically so a dropout former film student like me can exclaim ‘wow this is cinematic’ and probably talk circles about the symbolism… jack with his back turned to the camera, a statuesque silhouette towering over the cowering gwen — on her knees before something of a an idol, a demigod, an impossible hero, some christ figure risen from the dead but at the cost of the corpse lying prostrate like a sacrifice beside him. somebody to take her by the hand and lead her to a transfigured world in which nothing will ever be the same.

arriving like an angel of death after defying it — come with me and leave of the land of the living behind. come with me too, gwen cooper, your turn
