Evaluation of Scene
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S0hKD7WnZ8
This scene is really simple and is the ending to the movie Like Crazy. Just to set up somebackground information, this couple have been in love for 5 years but because of a mishap with her passport, she got sent back to her country and couldn't see this guy she loved. They tried to make it work long distance. Eventually, they went on with their own lives but still talking to each other every now and then. She ends up leaving her dream job and boyfriend at the end to be with this man and he breaks up with his gf. This scene is a depiction of their first night together. First, I love that it's set in one space. It's a shower scene that is a 2-shot close up of the the couple. What matters most in this scene is the expressions in their faces.
The rushing water mixed in with the uneasiness of the scene creates a tension in the audience. It seems both parties of people are deep in thought. Then the flashbacks occur. A second of the past flashes before their eyes ever so slightly. When the music starts playing, it creates a melancholy atmosphere. Being this is how the movie ended, it really allows the audience to interpret what they want. This scene was nothing more than a shower and six seconds worth of flashbacks. So you have to pay close attention to every other detail, such as their faces, the shakiness of the camera work and even the way they used to look at each other versus they way they did in that scene.
