 </B><B>Sean's concerned here, certainly, but he's not shocked or startled.  </B><B>Somehow, I think if I overheard some people plotting to kill my brother, my first reaction wouldn't be to calmly go shoot all three of them while they're in the bathroom.  Perhaps all that the "sheltering" accomplished was to keep Sean from learning how to be </B><I><B>smart </B></I><B>in situations like this. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The cinematographer was in charge of this scene, and it shows.  The grainy picture and the yellow-shifted coloring make it seem more like watching a memory.  Like a good camera operator should, he knows just how to shoot Elijah's face, putting the planes and curves to good use especially in the close-ups.  One thing I find interesting is that in the long shots, Sean seems more like a "normal guy" tending bar.  But when the camera pulls in, he's anything but; that's when we see the thought process that he keeps so carefully under control.  </B></div> <bR> <div> 1</div> <div> <IMG SRC="9bace8e0.jpg" border=0 width="718" height="398" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> 2</div> <div> <IMG SRC="9bbce8a0.jpg" border=0 width="718" height="394" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> 3</div> <div> <IMG SRC="9bcce8b0.jpg" border=0 width="718" height="395" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> 4</div> <div> <IMG SRC="9bdce8c0.jpg" border=0 width="718" height="396" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> 5</div> <div> <IMG SRC="9bece8b0.jpg" border=0 width="718" height="395" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> 6</div> <div> <IMG SRC="9bfce8a0.jpg" border=0 width="718" height="394" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> 7</div> <div> <IMG SRC="9c0ce8b0.jpg" border=0 width="718" height="395" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> 8</div> <div> <IMG SRC="9c1ce8c0.jpg" border=0 width="718" height="396" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> 9</div> <div> <IMG SRC="9c2cc8b0.jpg" border=0 width="716" height="395" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> 10</div> <div> <IMG SRC="9c3ce8b0.jpg" border=0 width="718" height="395" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> 11</div> <div> <IMG SRC="9c4ce8b0.jpg" border=0 width="718" height="395" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> 12</div> <div> <IMG SRC="9c5ce8b0.jpg" border=0 width="718" height="395" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> 13</div> <div> <IMG SRC="9c6ce8a0.jpg" border=0 width="718" height="394" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> 14</div> <div> <IMG SRC="9c7cd880.jpg" border=0 width="717" height="392" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> 15</div> <div> <IMG SRC="9c8ce8b0.jpg" border=0 width="718" height="395" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> 16</div> <div> <IMG SRC="9c9ce8b0.jpg" border=0 width="718" height="395" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="172" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 66 ><NOBR><div> <A HREF="id82_m.htm" TITLE="Ash Wednesday Flashback"><U><IMG SRC="1647d3c0.jpg" border=0 width="125" height="60" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 71 ><NOBR><div> <A HREF="id83.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Flashback 2"><U><IMG SRC="1657d3c0.jpg" border=0 width="125" height="60" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
