Re: Great subtle moments in movies
There's a ton of awesome (not really at that subtle) understated visual scenes in Pi. One that I remember years after seeing the movie is this closeup of milk being poured into coffee, and seeing a pattern emerge when the milk hits the black liquid, and then just as quickly vanish and become part of a new dilated coffee. Sick awesome metaphor for the protaganists' search for an equation to the stock market.
Then he went and did mothaf'ing stuff like Requiem which is subtle like a sledgehammer, and The Fountain WTF, so amazingly disappointing
