You know that I’m here for you, right?

               Yeah. I just don’t think this is something you know how to fix.

Hey fun background moment of genius in The Rashomon Job

The first few times we see the head of security come rushing down the stairs looking for Sophie, he’s shown holding a gun, because everyone else saw an intimidating, competent man who takes his job maybe too seriously. They were moving quickly, they saw him holding something long and narrow and black and their brains filled in ‘huge fuck off gun’ because that made sense to them.

That’s sort of the point of the episode (and of Rashomon style stories in general), everyone sees something different because we all view the world differently.

It’s not until the end, during Nate’s story, that the episode reveals the gun was actually a box of roses. When we get the shot of him rushing down the stairs, he’s holding a box, not a gun. We see the guard giving Nate the box, showing him what’s inside. 

But.

That’s not the first time we see the box as a box, and not a gun.

Because you know who saw a dangerous man holding something long and narrow and black and did not see a gun?

Eliot

Eliot saw this man the way the rest of the team did – scarily intense, suspicious of them all from the get go, dangerous – but he still saw the box. Because he was a soldier, he’s the hitter, the one most likely to be facing down the men with guns. It is in Eliot’s best interest to see guns when there are guns, even at a glance, even in passing, even if the man holding it is a hyper-competent security guard.

The director didn’t need to make the switch. I wouldn’t have thought twice about it. Hell, I didn’t even notice until my third or fourth viewing. It flashes by so quickly, the man is far in the background, the camera doesn’t linger. 

But they did. It’s such a clever detail, and it shows they have such an attention to the character even when it doesn’t really matter.

honestly birthdays were so easy when i was younger like i just wanted toys and stuff like that but now? my parents r like “wht do u want” and im just like??? some self esteem?? emotional stability?? a hobby??
