watched first 2 episodes of whitepine
so far i love how very grounded it is. all of the quiet moments and music gives me negative space vibes (like in drawings or 3d modeling - giving eyes some time to rest). it's kinda refreshing. feels more like a slice-of-life than a murder mystery
also i have a feeling these are going to be relevant later:
just too much attention brought to them (chekhov's gun awards, anyone?)
YESS JOIN MY WHITEPINE BRAINROT IM SO GLAD YOU'RE ENJOYING IT RAGGHHJJHRRAHAHHA!!! BUT COMMENTS ON THIS!!
sometimes ivorycello lingers on certain aspects of it to highlight key details like- I'm pretty sure these are all trophies that the hemlockes earned to show that they're the top level in their fields or that they're very prestigious or renowned ALTHOUGH ,, you could be right in saying that they could be Chekhov's guns in the sense that they could allude to something we previously didn't know about or it's brought up in subtle conversation later that layers into the theme of a class divide. I'd have to rewatch these few episodes through - maybe she could be recalling something or committing it to memory? either way I agree that this feels intentional, as are most things in her directing style !!
