The Sweep of Motion.
"I notice from your door, Dr. Fallada, that your area is biochemistry."
The Sweep of Motion.
"But I understand your real interest is--"
The Sweep of Motion.
"Death, Colonel Caine, correct. "
The Sweep of Motion.
"Thanatology is the name for it."
The Sweep of Motion.
"Death for you, Colonel, is a bureaucratic problem-- who did it?"
The Sweep of Motion. Fallada looms, Caine goes fuzzy, Fallada looms and looms over the camera, Caine loses out in a matter-of-fact
shortage of depth of field, Fallada looms with knowledge, Caine's brow strains in a fog, Fallada looms and looms forever.
"I notice from your door, Dr. Fallada, that your area is biochemistry."
"Death, Colonel Caine, correct."
The Sweep of Motion.
"Death for you, Colonel..."
The Sweep of Motion.
"... is a bureaucratic problem."
The Sweep of Motion. A sweep into an even focus between the two characters upon Fallada's turning.
"Who did it? When and why did they do it?" (Moralistic sentiments, no? Ones being thoroughly disengaged with... In focusing on the "relativist scientist," as Fernando F. Croce pins him, Lifeforce outgrows its summarized suggestion of a moral panic film.)
The Sweep of Motion.
"A problem to be solved, am I correct?"
The Sweep of Motion.
"And for you?"
"Well, I'm fascinated by death itself."
"What happens as we die, when we die."
"What happens after we die."
The Peeking Through of Emotion.
"You mean, life after death. Is there?"
The Peeking Through of Emotion.
"What?"
"Life after death."
"Do you really want to know?"
(with a pause and a smile) "No."
The Peeking Through of Emotion. Faith in ignorance = hayseed religiosity. The evangelical scientist snubs his nose.
"But to answer your question, yes, I think there is."
The Peeking Through of Emotion. The 'Why must it always be "no"?'... the "I am going to answer anyway."
"If I am correct, the life force is conserved... "
The Peeking Through of Emotion.
"... always and in all things, even after death."
The Passionate Belief.
