#the equalizer 1985#gif log#william zabka#Edward Woodward#Scott McCall#Robert McCall#I nearly posted this on the wrong blog#I don't think anyone would've been displeased but they would've been hella confused#I want commentary on this scene from everyone#why was it shot this way? i.e. we rarely ever see them connect with the wood#It always cuts away no matter the angle before edward woodward connects#there's some shots where william zabka does actually get the wood but they're mostly seen throw the window#like there's a perfectly lovely shot of Scott bringing the axe down but it cuts away right before it hits to show the same shot#from inside the cabin#and I wanna know why because it was a perfectly fine angle that they had#Like was edward woodward just acting like he was chopping wood and not actually chopping wood?#was it for safety reasons?#Also what is this scene trying to convey? because they spend like 90% of their time chopping wood watching the other and it's...weird#like are they pissed at each other again or are they bonding or are they competing?#I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be their first ever father-son bonding trip but it's just such a weird choice#Also this scene is broken up through a good section of the episode to break up#the absolute terror the girl and her boyfriend are going through#and it's just once again such an interesting choice#I know there's interviews and what not but I wanna know why#why these two kids are running for their lives and then oh lets cut back to angry father-son wood chopping#It feels like a metaphor or some sort of symbolism but I'm just like...weird choice#and they do have this habit of cutting and making editing choices I don't like in this show#mostly that I'm like 90% sure they cut a lot of stuff that would've been important character development#or just father-son bonding#and I guess I just want all of the william zabka scenes that they probably cut
