“There needn’t be a war! We can save everyone!”
“The point is not to avoid the war. The point is to win it.”
Alright settle in kids, I’m about to go film production geek (as always) and rave about how much I LOVE EYE LIGHT. So I’m a huge classic movie fan and one of my favorite parts of old movies is the way they lit their subjects. A common thing on single shots (especially with leading stars) was to highlight the faces and eyes with soft light which gave the stars a twinkle in their eyes and an angelic glow.
This is the scene that made me fall in love with Michael Sheen. Hanging on a close up of him showcased the immense talent and emotion Michael brought to Aziraphale. He conveyed so many micro emotions and wow be still my heart. But it was the the LIGHT REFLECTED in his eyes and his glow against the darker background that absolutely sold it to me. Like that setup portrayed him as a literal angel to me and I just gotta say I LOVE EYE LIGHT.
