I think Dr. Burke and Lanie should hang out.
They’re perfect at the game called: “WAKE THE FUCK UP, BECKETT!”
I just love how Rob Bowman likes to “play” with the lights. Angles and lights. I already said it about “Kick The Ballistics” which he directed too. He’s amazing.
I was thrilled to see how awesome is the scene in the Hudson River, after Castle got him and Beckett out of the sinking car. Bowman just uses the natural lighting coming from the reflex on the river to create almost a magical aura around Kate and Rick. As if those golden lights were warming them, enlightening the scene. It’s amazing.
And the scene that Sofia is going to kill them both? That super clean space, super bright as a hospital. It’s senseless and fearless just like Sofia. Those big white lights crossing the whole ceiling as if they could break through the almost palpable tension into the room.
I love how he “plays” with shadows and textures that the lights can provide him. From “gold” to super clean. From dark to red and brown. He creates feelings using colors, as when you smell that great scent of a fresh baked pie and you remember sundays morning on your grandma’s home. He brings us something we couldn’t feel with just simple images, so he uses all the shadows and colors he can.
When they’re at the precinct, a familiar place, the color is warm, the footage is comforting, already known angles and places. When they move to the CIA base, he uses cold colors, everything have shades of blue and grey and the angles are new, lots of close ups.
I don’t know, maybe I’m just talking bull here. But I like to think he’s playing with our minds as he plays with the colors and textures.
This painting of Jack Vettriano reminds me of Castle and Beckett on The Blue Butterfly.
Things I learn watching Castle
I’m a soon-to-be PR. I’m studying for that, at least.
Ya know, Public Relations.
I was watching “Dial M for Mayor” last night and a line from Castle got me. He’s having a discussion with Beckett about exposing the mayor or not willing to have his coat analyzed by CSU.
He asks her to not do it because the press is going to crash him and his whole political career would be gone. She says she has to do it and when they prove that he is innocent everything will get back on its place. And he answers her:
“Kate, this is politics. Perception is reality. The truth would not matter.”
Ok, besides my fangirling thing about this scene. They calling each other for their first names and everything. What Rick says it goes totally like we study in PR course.
Yeah, it doesn’t matter if the guy is right or wrong. The fact that he was even considered is the point. Public opinion, as we call, isn’t paying attention when the story is solved but gives so much audience to the scandal.
“I always knew he wasn’t that honest.”
“Well, I have a neighbor who works with the sister of a friend of a guy who works for him. She said he’s suspicious.”
When something not-so-good-but-not-proven-yet comes out, everybody knows everything about the person. Everybody has an strong opinion, as they say. They’re working with the perception of a person. With who they think he is and not who he is by fact.
We’re humans. A race that was born to be judgmental, critical without knowing truly, without understanding the evidences or waiting for the real statement.
So we work with first impressions. We’re trained to change this opinions by using some powerful arguments and changing the focus of the mess.
I love being able to connect the dots between my favorite show and my college. It’s was great!
Getting people confused.
