The scene I have decided to depict is from the movie "Seven Pounds" starring Will Smith and Woody Harrelson. Scene starts out with a normal conversation with Ben Thomas (Will Smith) calling Ezra Turner (Harrelson) to order some meat. You can notice the colors in the background of each character. Smiths character looks like he is at the beach, with colorful surroundings and exotic animals like the jellyfish, while Harrelson's character is coped up in a cubicle and a dark surrounding. The colors could show how there lives are and the meaning of the scene. Smith's character is being very rude and trying to ask degrading questions to Ezra. Think his colorful setting could be ironic for what he is doing, being rude and very unpleasant. While Ezra seems to be very nice and polite. Even though he is blind his eye are as blue as the ocean. When I think of the color blue, I think of purity and respectfulness. The questions Ben Thomas is asking is alarming though, they are questions that will show Ezra's self esteem and looks like he is trying to see how he reacts. The two main details that seem to be the most important are the very beginning of the scene and the end. The emotional status of Ben Thomas. Beginning of scene he seems intrigued by looking at Ezra name on piece of paper, but at end he seems sad and hurt after what he has done to Ezra. The reaction seems to make the scene come together, cause it makes you think Ben Thomas was trying to prove something, even though the scene itself doesn't explain what.
