Amour

This is the start of the scene, Georges finds his wife Anne sitting in a wheel chair all alone by herself when he comes home, from the dark lack of lighting it can already be seen that this scene is going to be very dark. The camera angle is also very awkward, we never get a shot at Anne's face, just her shadow, it really contributes to the mood of darkness and sadness.

Here we see Georges pushing Anne into the room, there's still a lack of lighting. The distance of the camera position is interesting. The camera was placed in the room therefore we see the Georges trying to help his wife in. The emotions that both characters display here in this shot is just amazing, without knowing anything we can tell that this is going to be a very dark and sad scene just by the two actor's emotions. Usually, a movie would cut and edit some things out like Georges sitting his wife down or opening a door, but the director chooses to leave these things out because he wants the audience to feel uncomfortable and he wants the scene to drag on as long as possible to have that effect. Another thing great about this scene is all the books in the background, the books represents a major theme in the story, it's a common interest of reading that both Georges and Anne shares. As long as Georges turn on the lights the mood shifts, we are used to the idea that if there is bright and warm lights then the scene will be happy and cheerful but that is not the case. Another comment must be made on the actor's faces because of the way they display their emotions, we can tell that sometime is wrong even with the warm lights. Georges looks at his wife Anne, and he just noticed that something is very wrong indeed. Georges tries to cheer his wife up by telling her a story, however she is not interested at all. This is where plot and theme comes into play, the plot and theme for these two main characters are very different. Georges wants to take care of his wife, therefore he needs to do whatever it takes to get it done. However for Anne the plot for her is that she wants to die, therefore he needs his husband Georges to stop taking care of her and let her go. Anne tells Georges about her plans and that she needs George to help her carry out her theme. It completely crushes Georges. The tone of the scene is now confirmed, it is indeed very sad and dark. <range type="comment" id="459323178_9">Georges and Anne both grows silent, here a close-up of Anne face is all we need.
