So, I just got back from watching Guardians of the Galaxy (great film by the way). The action was great, the comedy was gold, Groot was Groot.
But, as an aspiring DJ, one of things that stuck out to me the most was Peter Quill/Starlord's (Chris Pratt) interaction with Gamora (Zoe Saldana). That is, the impact and importance of escalation.
I know this is a pretty basic concept, especially for the experienced folks on this forum, but the scene where Pratt lets Saldana listen to music and made a move really struck home for me. Without any words, he moves closer, holds her hand, and moves in for the kiss...he eventually gets shut down (to comedic effect), but that's not the point. He puts himself out there, makes his intentions known, and is unfazed by rejection.
What this scene finally engrained in my mind was, this is how you demonstrate interest in a girl. You don't tell her you like her, or ask to be in a relationship (both of which are things I have done in the past, fk me man, I literally cringe as I remember the super beta stuff I did >_>), you escalate. It's 1000x more effective. I had heard about and known of this before, but seeing it in action definitely made it something I'm not gonna forget.
Just wanted to drop by and post this; usually modern cinema is all but Disney Romantic Princess beta utopia, but that was a great scene which really rang true with me.
