in this scene, his expression before and after he passes Sam is basically the same.  If I had to put a label on it, I might call it acceptance - perhaps not only of his fate, but of "Sam being Sam."   (Of course, as one Seanwise-centric fan has pointed out, Sam </B><I><B>does </B></I><B>turn out to be right in the end.)</B></div> <div>  <A NAME="justafeeling5_top"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></div> <div> <IMG SRC="937204e0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="334" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="938204e0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="334" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="9391e4e0.jpg" border=0 width="798" height="334" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="9391e4e0.jpg" border=0 width="798" height="334" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="93b204e0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="334" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="93c204e0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="334" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="93d204e0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="334" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="93e20510.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="337" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="93f20500.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="336" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="940204e0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="334" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="941204e0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="334" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="942204e0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="334" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="943204e0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="334" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="944204d0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="333" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="945204e0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="334" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="946204e0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="334" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="948204d0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="333" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="9491e4f0.jpg" border=0 width="798" height="335" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="94a1e4d0.jpg" border=0 width="798" height="333" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="94b204f0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="335" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="94c204d0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="333" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="94d1e4d0.jpg" border=0 width="798" height="333" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="94e204d0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="333" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="94f204e0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="334" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="9501e4e0.jpg" border=0 width="798" height="334" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="951204d0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="333" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="952204e0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="334" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="953204f0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="335" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="9541e4f0.jpg" border=0 width="798" height="335" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="955204f0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="335" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <B>One more geeky comment before we leave this scene.  The permanent crease beneath Elijah's eye is very visible here, and we can tell from it that the film frames haven't been flipped.  But his brooch is facing the "wrong" way.  So brooch direction isn't an infallible indication of whether a shot has been reversed.</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="142" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 66 ><NOBR><div> <A HREF="#justafeeling5_top" TITLE="Just a Feeling 5"><U><IMG SRC="02e7d3c0.jpg" border=0 width="125" height="60" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 66 ><NOBR><div> <A HREF="id44.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Just a Feeling 4"><U><IMG SRC="0bc7d3c0.jpg" border=0 width="125" height="60" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
