I've heard of "freeze frames" in a movie - scenes that stick in your
mind even after the movie. I think generally they're some sort of
gut-renching emotional thing. The two that come to my mind (not very
good examples - they weren't all THAT gut-wrenching, but they did
stick in my mind) are: the scene in Conan where Conan's mother loses
her head and topples sideways while her young son holds her hand and
watched with disbelief. I think it was a lot more effective than most
(if not all) of the gory dyings of various types (there was no blood
at all ...). The other was in Star Trek II, when Spock dies, and leans
back against the clear wall, and Kirk leans against it (they're back
to back). No crying or screaming or anything. I guess I like
semi-subtle effects.
