Bullitt: Subtext - A Case In Point

A 'case in point' video, in which I examine a single scene from a classic film to illustrate sound execution of a cinematic principle.

This one features Peter Yates' Bullitt to explore subtext as presented in visual elements and dialogue.

Disclaimers: I am not a film scholar and am presenting only my own observations, for what they're worth. While I hope some may find my insights interesting, I do not claim they are definitive or exhaustive.

This is intended for viewers who are familiar with the film, but if spoilers are not a deterrent, it is not necessary to have seen the movie to follow this video.
