I saw the best movie the other day. But thanks to my Visual Literacy class I can no longer just sit back and enjoy a movie. I am always looking at body language, camera angles, props, etc. and evaluating them. In the movie Crazy Stupid Love the two lead characters are going through a divorce. They are sitting in a hallway waiting to talk with their child's teacher at conferences. The camera angle is straight on with a large door placed in between them. To me it illustrated the distance that had grown between them. When the man and woman finally admit that they miss each other, the camera angle moves off to the right of them. They both are still sitting in the same place, but the camera angle gives the illusion that they have moved closer to each other. Realizing the story being told behind the story gave me chills.

I agree, after taking a literature class that was all about thinking and reading critics about movies, novels and etc. I realized that my concerns have changed from how I was watching a movie before, I enjoyed certain things that I never could understood without reading more about them, yet I enjoy reading the different critics and ideas of people who discuss what they think the author meant by this or that part of movie... Visual literacy and digital imaging class gave me an extra eye to pay more attention again as well. I haven't watch this movie yet, but I guess I would assume the same meaning from the scene you described so clearly.
