picspam: skins 2x10 (funeral scene)

Apr 14, 2009 00:02

picspammy's latest challenge being "scenes and sequences" here's the funeral scene from episode 2x10 of skins. it's the funeral scene, so there will clearly be spoilers!




i have so much love for this scene guys, it's unbelievable. honestly speaking, skins has quite possibly the best cinematography of any show i watch. couple that with the incredible music, the script, the characters and the plot and you've got this amazing show. and that's just this scene alone!



i've been thinking about what chris would have wanted me to say today. the advice he'd give me, which would be something like, "know what, babe? fuck it. these guys know all about me, tell them about someone else." so i thought i'd tell you about a hero of chris': a man called captain joe kittinger.



in 1960, climbing into a foil balloon, captain joe ascended 32 kilometres into the stratosphere. and then, armed only with a parachute, he jumped out. he fell for four minutes and thirty-six seconds, reaching seven hundred and forty miles per hour before opening his parachute five kilometres above the earth. it had never been done before, and it's never been done since. he did it just because he could. and that's why chris loved him.



because the thing about chris was-he said yes. he said yes to everything. he loved everyone. and he was the bravest boy-man-i knew. and that was... he flung himself out of a foil balloon every day. because he could. because he was. and that's why...



and that's why we loved him.
