FAVORITE YOUTUBE VIDEOS: Thought of You by Ryan Woodward -
I lay motionless in bed I thought of you and where you'd gone and let the world spin madly on
let me just tell you briefly about these amazing camera shots and their symbolism:
shot #1: Thor and Loki as kids are equal with their father almost out of reach for the both of them (his face is out of the shot) - though they are standing next to each other, still Odin is the one separating them.
shot #2: Odin still separates them,they still are inferior, even though they both have grown to match him (you see Odin fully). However while Loki faces him (yearning to live up to his father’s expectations), it is him Odin shows his back, while his left shoulder is pointed to Thor his true son and only heir, who is not able to look at his father due to his conflict towards him. The brothers now start to turn their backs on each other: the beginning of their paths parting.

Image analysis 101. Very good.
I’ve reblogged this before and will again.
I recently watched this extremely complex, nuanced film with family and it was beyond infuriating because they just barely paid attention and predictably vilified everything Loki did, even the things that weren’t malicious in intent. I actually had to leave the room for a moment to control my temper, lol.
The only one who didn’t do this was my Godson who is, interestingly, a reserved, quiet, extremely intelligent person. Even more fascinatingly neither did his little brother, who often feels overshadowed by him.
Anyway.
Accidentally posted above comments to my personal haha. I meant to say all that on this blog.
