i’m a big fan of how in richie’s episode the director used imagery and shot composition and atmosphere and all that to add elements of certain genre tropes to show how richie was feeling. like when he was going to this restaurant the horror lighting
and This Shot (soooo get out core)
and the music all contributed to this horror movie scene where you’re half expecting something to jump out from behind him because that’s how richie feels about this experience. it’s horrific. it’s a punishment. it’s daunting and scary and he hates it- he sees it like a horror movie.
and then right before the montage where richie learns to serve people, the like 90s action movie quick zooms onto his and garret’s faces really show his excitement and how he’s seeing this as the climax where the hero (him) finally gets to shine after all of his training.
it was such a cool way to show the viewer richie’s thoughts and perspective on the situation. major W by christopher storer + the writers
