reaction shot tells us how to feel about whatever the subjective shot is showing
us, and this is how the filmmaker keeps us in line. If there is no reaction shot,
we replace the character's evaluation of the events with our own. We become
independent agents and lose identification with the character, which is what it's
all about isn't it.
