Welcome to Looking Closer Journals’ first edition of HALF-SHOT, an occasional contest to make you really LOOK CLOSER at the movies.
Here’s how it works: I post half of a shot from one frame of a movie.
Name the movie.
What do you win if you’re the first to post the right answer in the Comments? Eternal glory.
Here we go…
Wow! That’s a tough one….
They’re not going to be easy.
Here’s a hint: If the picture seems extremely arbitrary, then it’s probably from a popular movie. If the picture seems clear and distinct (with faces, for example), then it’s probably from something obscure.
I promise not to distort or blur the images in any way. This is from an actual frame of the film.

I’m gonna make a wild guess and say an opening scene from Millions.
A History of Violence?
