Default Re: Great subtle moments in movies

From Babel. I'm pretty sure that many people missed this even after a few viewings, but anyway. In the scene near the beginning where the Japanese girl returns to her apartment and flips through maybe 5 channels on the TV. For an instant, she is on a news channel where we see mugshots of the Morrocan kid and the father, which basically hints to us that they will get caught. Their picture only flashes for a second, and if you're not paying attention (which likely is the case because the girl is doing something else), it very easily blends with the background.

Edit: Not sure if this is exactly what happened, but this is how I remember it.
