Season 1 Episode 1 (10:51)
My Interpretation
This is one of the first times the feeling of being high is portrayed in the show. The first thing I notices was the auditory change in Ashtray's voice. This represents the reality shift that occurs leading you to understand that it is portraying the affect of the drug he is describing. Visually, I noticed two things. The first is the glitter tears falling below Rue's eyes. I noticed that this does not happen to the other character in the clip, Jules, and found that very interesting. I am not sure why this was done but notices, as the viewer it drew my attention to Rue and the affect the drugs have on her specifically.
The second thing I notices was the face that Rue was making. While she was saying that she was so happy, she looked very out of it and like she wasn't really experiencing it at all. It didn't seem like one of those advertisements where everyone is very happy promoting the product. From this clip, I don't think anyone would look at it and think "I want that."
