greenfoxtree:emprsmile:我在。#every time lwj makes these tiny love confessions to wwx. every time lwj does these acts of love to wwx#wwx thinks he doesnt deserve to accept this love. like lwj could NEVER love me bc im unloveable so this must be a dream#AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE CINEMATOGRAPHY DOES IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE SERIES#THESE SCENES ARE SHOT 1) IN A VERY DREAMLIKE MANNER AS IN HAIR BLOWING IN THE WIND SLOW MOTION LWJ’S FACE LIT LIKE IN A PHOTOSHOOT#2) IN A WAY WHERE THE CINEMATOGRAPHY LITERALLY CUTS WWX OUT OF THE NARRATIVE AND ONLY FOCUSES ON LWJ BY USING POV SHOTS#as in in wwx’s perspective he separates himself from the wangxian narrative bc he thinks he doesnt deserve to BE in the narrative#and as the story progresses especially after his ressurection#the cinematography of wangxian when it’s shot in wwx’s perspective gets more and more realistic#no hair blowing no slow motion and realistic lighting sort of#and they stop using pov shots bc wwx is gradually learning to insert himself into the narrative of his own love story#and starting to realise this is not a dream. this is his reality#AND THIS LINE FROM EP 33 THE ‘IT FEELS LIKE A DREAM’ ‘YOU’RE AWAKE’ LINE CAPTURES THIS ASPECT OF THEIR LOVE SO WELL#THIS IS WWX SAYING THIS IS MERELY A DREAM#AND THIS IS LWJ YELLING WITH EVERY FIBRE OF HIS BEING BUT WITH SUCH A SOFT VOICE THAT NO THIS IS NOT A DREAM THIS IS REAL#I AM GIVING YOU ALL THE LOVE THAT I CAN GIVE AND I WANT YOU TO ACCEPT IT NOT BC I WANT YOU TO LOVE ME BACK BUT BC YOU DESERVE ALL MY LOVE#wwx learns this gradually learns to ground wangxian and himself in reality#and learns to accept that he deserves to be in the narrative of his own love story#and this is shown in the last shot of the series. do NOT think that this is in lwj’s pov bc everything in this shot is abt wwx’s pov#this shot is absolutely a shot of wangxian in wwx’s persective bc it conveys what wwx is feeling#yet without including lwj in the shot.#this is him crossing the threshold fully realising that he deserves love that he deserves to be loved by lwj#this is him realising that he’s awake.#相逢是梦还是真 (tags via op @emprsmile) -- source link
