verysharpteeth:ladysaviours:enalgunlugar:Becket, this is Mako Mori.#I AM GONNA FUCKING DIE #THEIR FIRST MEETING MADE INTO THIS SWEEPING ENCOMPASSING THING IN THEIR SHARED MEMORIES #drifting in2 each other’s heartsBut look how they perceived each other too. This memory isn’t an exact one (memories rarely are). Raleigh’s perception of Mako was very close up and she’s this stunning, slightly sad, closed off thing framed by her umbrella like a halo. She looks exquisite and unapproachable in a way. Mako’s perception of Raleigh has him looking far more serious and sad than he actually looked when they met. The camera angle zooms in like she was suddenly really taking in who this guy was and he looks forbidding and far more warrior like than he ever does in real life. If you notice, that one frame makes him look more like Stacker than any other moment in that movie. If that was her perception, something about Raleigh ALREADY reminded her of the level of command her father had and not only is she the only one in the movie who sees that, but we realize it’s an internal thing on Raleigh’s part because he doesn’t ACT like Stacker, but he sure has the same grit. -- source link
