It’s funny how a GLOBAL PANDEMIC can change your view of basically everything. Like, a couple weekends ago when I was rewatching “Portait of a Lady on Fire,” my brain hadn’t yet been conditioned to view the entire world through a Social Distance lens. But now, seeing this gif sequence is more like a cautionary tale. It’s soothing to see them at first standing apart in masks (which, to be honest, everyone should have but, to be even more honest, is a fucking criminal travesty that medical professionals can’t get right now). But then, well, things deteriorate from there.
My Coronavirus Brain now watches this scene like this:
Not exactly 6-feet but at least some distance – though I am certain those are not N95 masks.
Wait, no, move the opposite direction. The opposite!
Ahhhh, we have a breach! BREACH!
