my favorite genre of tumblr post is definitely "i love it when characters are [goes on to describe a thing which literally only happens in the one fanfiction they're presently writing]"
ten paragraph screed about this one look a character gives for two seconds on a TV show and has infinite characterization and implication behind it, and when you see those two seconds yourself there is nothing, it's just a nondescript face, the post author has lost their fucking mind reading into a non-expression made during a non-dramatic moment
The film was shown to an audience who believed that the expression on Mosjoukine's face was different each time he appeared, depending on whether he was "looking at" the bowl of soup, the girl in the coffin, or the woman on the divan, showing an expression of hunger, grief, or desire, respectively. The footage of Mosjoukine was actually the same shot each time.
