VEERAM : Ajith + "Siruthai" Shiva + DSP + Vijaya Productions

[mappi]

Well, an epic mirror reflection scene was from Son of Frankenstein (1939) where Boris Karloff who acts as the monster watches for the first time his reflection in the mirror with his reanimated eyes. That whole scene was about two & a half minutes long. A pure joy to watch both for the acting as well as for the cinematography. Then came a series of films which gave homage to this scene, the best of-late being Ghost Rider, The Machinist, etc., where the protagonists see their transformed self reflection for the 1st time in the mirror. Then you got films like Matrix, Fight club, Children of Men, etc., where mirror reflection is used to show an important aspect of the film. Vincent Cassel gives some powerful and memorable performance before the mirror in movies like La Haine, Sheitan & Mesrine.

And yeah you got our Endhiran - Mother of Epic scenes.

This still in Veeram, even though I do not know the motive, falls under the same lines. The whole set up is terrific including the lighting, the model and the Black n White shades drawn into the photo. The make up, esp. the hair do is well done to bring in the depth. There is a picture within the picture - if you cover one side of Ajith's face and see the other. The Mirror reflection is captured neatly by rightly choosing the perfect angle, aligning the objective and the timely click.

Yes, that's a very good still that I had come across in a long time. Good job guys!
