After I bled out in the snow.
The White Snow is a symbol of purity a Void of sin blood is the sacrifice for mankind a symbol as seen in the hit TV show Jesus Christ, this is a desire to sacrifice yourself for the sins of the world.
Ah if it isnt my high school English teacher
Soldier! Drop and give me 20 essays now!
Mrs. R! I thought you had too much to mark before the end of the term! What are you doing schooling people online?
(/j)
I get paid more this way.
How will the school know you’re teaching more? There’s not more students paying tuition? I guess you’ll use your magical language to do so telepathically.

Maybe we can talk about how a shit load of men fantasize about dying a peaceful and necessary death instead of wanting to live or having to live in reality?
Cuz fuck, that’s so bleak.
Is that not normal?
You don’t want to detonate the explosives while you’re still dangling from the bridge pylon because the enemy army is advancing and there’s not enough time to get away safely before they cross?
I think I’d actually like to stand on the bridge and gently play a tune on my flute to distract them long enough for the explosives to go off as they cautiously approach the center where I wait.
Nice, man. Charisma 100+
uhhh, charisma -100.
I know. I play the flute.
I get it but at the same time I do not. It is a reference to a movie or something?
Many pieces of film/TV have scenes where a guy has been mortally wounded doing something for the greater good and then bleeds out in a scene like this. It’s like a melancholic righteous death
We are speaking to the truth of our current world: there is no hope anymore.
Blade Runner 2049 reference maybe?
Maybe don’t run around with blades if you don’t want to cut yourself and bleed out.
But if you do gotta bleed out it might as well do it on fresh snow in an eerily quiet and peaceful setting, so as the steam rises from your blood your essence gently fades away
It’s at 2049 already? Damn I’ve missed 2048 Blade Runner movies.
It was a trope long before that movie though.

It doesn’t have to be that way if you just leave John wick the fuck alone.

Oh fuck yeah that’s prime real estate
I want to bleed out not on the bench, but just below it, my back propped up by the wood.
The cinematographer in me is wondering how I would go about staging the scene without putting footprints in the snow.
Composite 2 shots maybe? You would have to be sure to map routes in and out of the scene and then make sure the action doesn’t cross those routes.
Yeah. That’s about the only way that I can figure it could be done optically. Or else just fix it in post.
From a visual standpoint I know it lacks realism if we have a man bleeding out against the bench with no footprints or disturbance to show how he got there. But visually it looks better. I’d also costume the man in very gray colours, with almost the only noticeable color being the pool of red slowly spreading. Frank Miller-ish.
You are thinking too hard.
Just projectile him into position.
For the justification for no footprints, you could have it in the script that the one dying fell into place. Fighting atop a crane, in a helicopter, or whatever. Seems appropriate for the kind of film that would end with a nice shot like that anyway. For the practical side, simply catapult the actor into position.
Listen, periods are not as glamorous as you’ve been led to believe.
Cause Allie this the one time men are allowed to get in touch with their feelings with no judgement. It’s cinema to go out this way. Way better than dying behind the Arby’s dumpster with your pants down. No one wants to die like that.
When you clock out in the snow, have a smoke or swig from a flask or have in your hand a well loved photo of a loved one. Also have no ID, make it a mystery. Go out like a true boss.
Kinda like the Somerton Man although he died having a cigarette on the beach, leaving behind a coded message and a possible illegitimate child.
Is that Lady Snowblood? I still need to watch that
Ayup.
Picture it, though: You’re a bad man and you know that one good deed won’t change that, even at the cost of your life - but maybe it’s enough to regain your soul. The wound doesn’t hurt any more and you know that’s a sign the end is coming but for the first time in years you feel at peace. Individual snowflakes are settling on your skin like chilly kisses as your eyelids get heavy.
What you mean by bad man? unless you’re committing war/ sex crimes… try therapy, drugs or changing your gender. It’s sad that people daydream about that but also kinda delusionally narcissistic, like in a way that could benefit from therapy or just talking to a single other person
I mean that bleeding out in the snow is a cinematic fate usually reserved for hardened killers who are fatally wounded in the process of redeeming themselves. The quiet of the scene reflects the silencing of their inner demons and they accept death with dignity and even a measure of grace.
I dig well-executed tropes.
