AgentPat said:There's also the scene in Crusade, right after the Clark and Kal-El struggle. Martha comforts an exhausted but reposed Clark on the cave floor. She holds his head and brushes his hair off his face as the camera dollies back and the scene fades out. I don't have that cap handy, but it's quite nice.
DITTO!! I'm really enjoying the photos in this thread.darkzombiemutt said:
Yup, that's it. It's not as "Pieta'-ish" as the other one, but it still has that deep, emotional feel. I dunno. Yeah, I'm reaching, but I do love that scene.triplet said:You mean this one?

The Incredible Hulk said:"Resurrection" - Martha and/or Clark are always shown near this window in the hospital. Lex and Lionel are usually never seen near it unless its with Clark.

I've always thought TPTB/SV delighted in the little "inside jokes" and meanings through out the series.
For example (and as pointed out by many others in this thread), there's the whole "messiah" connection thing going on. In the pictures above I think an obvious one pops out. In both pictures the cherub (little angel) is in the presence of those who know "the secret" (Ma, Pete, and of course Clark), and is clearly (to me anyway) acknowledging that fact ("Shhhhh, its a secret").
However, note in the first picture, the camera angle is such that the little angel appears to actually be facing directly at Ma and Pete. He (the angel) is addressing them directly ("Shhhhh").
In the second picture (and in the presence of the "messiah") the camera angle is such that the angel appears to be averting his gaze downward as though he is unworthy to look at Clark directly. But his message is still the same ("Shhhh, its still a secret").
OK there boyz and girlz, if you think that's a stretch, wait until my next post. (See below)

Well, I'm trying to see it, but it's like looking at one of those ink blot psych tests and only seeing butterflies. LOL Here's the enlarged version...Squatlow said:
I was away most of the weekend, but I'll see what else I can dig up if I get the chance today..
One came to mind this morning, but I don't have the cap handy. I can make it later if nobody else does before me. It's quick, so you have to be ready for it...The Incredible Hulk said:nice catches
Yeah, that's the scene. That's pretty good, but there's an even *better* one as the camera pulls around behind the ship and you see Clark in the background. That's the one I was thinking about. I'll cap it tonight.The Incredible Hulk said:this one?
