088
New Hakoneyumoto Station, before the rotary. The car roof is in front of two people confronting each other.

MISATO (OFF):“Its tough to say just complimentary things.”

SHINJI:“That’s your way of life, Misato. I can’t do that.”

MISATO:“I’m sure you know this, but there will be considerable restrictions on your behavior.”

SHINJI:“Yes... Um...”

MISATO:“What?”

SHINJI:“Tell me one thing, please.
Why was it Touji? The fourth child?”

dzzthink: The camera work here is truly excellent. Each frame highlights the distance between Misato and Shinji, with stark and opposing shots capturing the gap in their relationship.


UrsusArctos: Indeed. The contrast between the Nerv vehicle in the foreground and the station's gates in the background, at right angles to the Shinji-Misato axis, all indicate both Shinji's departure and the choice made in doing so.


Dr. Nick: It's classic Evangelion in the sense that the mise-en-scène is expertly crafted, but it doesn't hide the fact that the mouth flaps just aren't there. Makes you wonder how much of a crunched wreck the production was at this point...
