Aquaman (2018) dir. James Wan
“I think that’s very important from a storytelling standpoint because the audience gets to experience Atlantis for the first time along with the character. It wouldn’t be the same if Arthur goes to Atlantis and he’s been here before and he’s kind of jaded about it. There’s nothing impressing him. Then you as an audience watching would not be impressed either. It’s that Spielberg approach, right? Seeing a character seeing something for the first time ― like in “Jurassic Park” when Laura Dern sees the dinosaur for the first time. The camera is pushing in on her look of awe and wonderment. That’s how you convey it to the audience and that’s how the audience comes along with the characters.” — James Wan
I LOVE MCU-DCEU crossovers
