Johnny Berchtold as Randy Bradley in The Passenger.

Reference and process under the cut.

I’m in love with the framing in this shot. It’s a perfect example of a character’s position within their surroundings reflecting the story that’s being told. The three lines of the car windshield/window converge on Randy’s head, making it look like he’s pinned in place - which he is, by his own paralysing fear of making decisions. In this scene he’s talking around the traumatic incident that made him that way.

If you want to get really deep into it, the point behind his head where those three lines would converge is in line with his frontal lobe, the part of the brain that’s used in decision-making and executive function (taking action based on decisions). The framing implies a fracture in that part of his mind.

To this day one of the moments in Saw that always makes me laugh is Adam finding the Billy doll laughing and saying "What the fuck?!" in the most incredulous tone before beating Billy to death with a baseball bat.

It's especially funny in light of Leigh Whannell explaining that the only reason Billy is in the movie is that James Wan just really loves creepy dolls.

"It's either a clown, or a doll, or a clown doll. I rang him and I pitched him the idea for the scene with the jaw trap. I'm like, 'It's going to be great, we've got this fucking woman and she wakes up strapped to this chair and she's got this steel trap on her face and there's a timer on it and when it goes off it's going to split her face open. And she has to find the key and it's hidden in someone's stomach, but she manages to get it off just in time.' "And James is like, 'That's great! Put a creepy doll in there, it's perfect.'"

today im thinking about william easton kicking a billy doll in the original saw vi script
