Close readings of film stills I,Robot
Well I chose the film stills Of I,Robot, the one where he is in a interrogation room with the robot. In this still Will smith looks like hes strong, he seems as if hes trying to portray this masculine guy making him not look weak in front of the robot. The last thing he needs is letting the robot know hes weak. Also the robot shows no fear to him, he seems calm as if he knows what Will smith is capable of doing. The other still i chose was the one where Will and sunny are shaking hands. Making it look as if they were ending the war that they were having. But in the picture will still looks worried as if he knows this hand shake only means so much. The thing about this Still is that will looks at sunny all beaten and sweaty while sunny the robot which he is a robot he looks perfectly fine. This shows that humans do looks weak but sunny isnt doing much about it but shaking his hand coming to a peace. Maybe he has a plan to something but for now they just leave things settled. The thing about looking at these stills compared to looking at the movie scene while just watching it is that you dont get a sense of what is actually happening in the film. like yeah they might be in a interrogation room but the closer you look the better details you see as in the emotions etc. same as in the hand shake in the film its peace but if you study in the still you can just imagine many things what it can mean just by the body language and the facial expression.
