here is one of my favorite shots from the whole film. it's robert powell as captain walker, alive in his child's imagination, providing light and hope from the periphery of the boy's damaged self. from a filmmaking standpoint, i am still puzzled as to how ken russell got this shot, and got it so flawlessly. just what kind of prop is robert powell holding? is it glass? a reflective web of silk? is it some kind of well-diffused bulb? i still can't tell. all i know is i don't see any wires. and it works. pure genius. wow.
