the things you dont tell your friends

 "She Shoulda Said No!"

So in this film stuff happens, so much stuff, and it is insane, but none of that matters. The protag's brother at some point in the film hangs himself. There is a moment of perfect acting in this scene that took me away. The brother is hanging in the garage, long dead from the way the shot frames it, 

he was hanging in the garage

long dead from the frame of it

She approaches the garage and there isn't an immediate reaction

There is no immediate reaction.

She just sees it. As if it were a meadow, or a curious bug flittering past.

Her head leans almost imperceptibly, she is now looking at it quizzically, like there is some knowing to the seeing but there is a disconnect. Like watching a hard drive spin, this is the machine at work, trying to employ a solution to the wonder of what is seen, because the conclusion musn't be the conclusion. There is now a part of the brain that knows what it has seen, and has placed all senses and systems to the job of defying this conclusion with any available evidence, the same frenzy in the mind that causes fresh amputees to clutching the lost limb in the place where it should be. All this happens on her face and subsequently in your mind in less than 2 seconds of screen time. 

*i made that up because I don't know what else to call the phenomena
