Part Three.
Part Three of my Generation Kill picspam, episode three, Screwby.
Some things:
→ This is one of my favourite episodes. As such this picspam is long and some scenes are almost complete, as opposed to just pretty caps or awesome moments.
→ That opening shot is just gorgeous, the way the light just floods in and it makes it seem serene and hopeful in a way that is then totally shot to pieces by the events of the episode.
→ I love how many profile shots they use in this show. I also adore the use of negative space, just all this sky or sand. They make you very aware of how isolated these men are.
→ Again, loving the humvees. Oh and I love Nate smiling at Brad's lube description.
→ When I finished watching the whole series for the first time Ray was my humanising character, the one I connected with, whatever you want to call it but now I'm so much more aware of Poke, Jon imbues him with such humanity and emotion from early on and I can't believe I didn't notice it the first time around.
→ Whomever designed Marine/Army/Airforce camouflage/uniforms was clearly very concerned with how attractive they'd appear on film, because seriously the MOPP suits against the skyline and alongside the humvees just look so damn pretty.
→ I love Espera's little grin behind Evan.
→ Did I mention I love how the humvees look against the horizon?
→ Q-Tip! Wilson Bethel is so adorable and so pretty.
→ Oh Encino Man! I love how utterly dumb he looks here 'uh, danger close?, the what now?'
→ That's Lovell right? I feel so bad that I'm on rewatch 12 and there are still moments where I can't identify people! *facepalm*
→ This was the moment I loved Doc when he got all up in Encino Man's grill. He was saying exactly what I was thinking.
→ Started warming to Nate more as he became more active and started standing up to Encino Man and being all fierce.
→ The shot with the hula girl is one of my absolute favourites. I love the injection of colour, the blur of the Marines out the window, it's just perfect.
→ Those shots of Billy are just beautiful.
→ The moments after the camel incident, when you get everyone's reaction shots is just perfect. Doc's outrage, Nate's resignation, Q-Tip is pissed off and disgusted and then Colbert comes over and looks almost confused like he can't quite make the connection between the order he passed on (the change in the ROE) and the outcome.
→ I really enjoy the fact that Walt refers to Trombley as 'boy'.
Walt: But you know what's even more fucked up? Trombley only shot two bursts maybe seven rounds. I mean, we're bumping down a dirt road, his targets are like 200 meters out and he hits exactly what the fuck he's shooting at? I mean, fuck, man, the boy is a cold-on deadeye killer.
Person: Yeah, no shit. That's 'cause he's a psycho. But at least he's our psycho.
