Wow, Mech! I really enjoy your ability to analyze a scene the way you do!
You know, I think a love scene shot the way you describe would be extremely moving even without nudity. Emotional porn, if you will.
That's what I enjoyed so much about Frodo; the ability to see the naked raw emotion in his face. And Mews is right, that it was also there in Jones' face in AIW. And in the "Ridiculous Thoughts" video; I can't wait to see those screen caps!
It's whats so special about Elijah as an actor to me; that occassional ability to make you actually feel what his character is going through. I hope he doesn't lose that ability as he gets older, and more famous, and has to learn to shut part of himself away.
It's funny. After I saw "The Aviator" last year, I told my husband it was "airplane porn." The camera lingered over the skin of the crafts, took in every dip and swoop over the landscape, and showed the characters reacting with pure joy of the experience.
