Thomas says, “Three months. Feels like twice as long,” obviously thinking dirty thoughts about how much he missed James in his bed.
And the shot we get of James at that precise moment is one where a giant COCKatoo is basically rising out of his head because they’ve positioned him right in front of the painting.
And that COCKatoo is huge, glowing white against the dark background and standing there erect upright like a rod.:P
I can’t…They’re killing me with their dick jokes.:D
Don’t tell me that’s not deliberate. Everything in a frame is there for a reason.
And if something is visually rising from your head, it means it’s what’s on your mind.
At least, that’s usually how cinematic language works.
(Also, this is the only moment in this scene in which James is standing in front of this particular painting. The rest of the scene he was filmed from a different angle.)
Just wondering what the corresponding painting on the other wall means – that painting of that peacock with its magnificent tail…That Thomas started strutting about like a peacock the moment James appeared in his life, putting on his best wigs and dusting off his Adam-and-Eve Bible quotes for him? Yeah, thought as much.:)
