Chapter 61 Shattered

• Annie
• There are cinematic moments where time physically stops. The camera zooms in on the actor or actress's face in slow motion as we watch them crumble into a thousand pieces. This trick is typically used during the climax of the film, when the two main leads have the fight that tears them apart, leaving them to go their separate ways. As the audience, you can feel their pain, maybe you think "wow, that's horrible, I can't even imagine it" or maybe you're crying, an empathetic reaction to show them you understand how they feel, but you're feeling something. It's a perfect moment, the lead is heartbroken, sometimes they're standing in the rain, the water pouring down their face, hiding their tears.
• Yes, those moments are perfect, and they used to be my favorite part of the movie. I was never really one for a happy ending--It was the raw, human, emotion that I loved to see.
