Back in May, I watched Cast Away for the first time, and I noticed a clever bit of framing. After Chuck has been rescued from the island and learns that - in his absence - Kelly has gotten married and started a family, he goes to visit her. She invites him inside, and he leans on a sort of bookcase as she makes him coffee. Over each shoulder is a picture; one of her wedding and one of her family:
Because of the way this shot is framed, with a picture over each of Chuck's shoulders, there's a visual representation of the burden of all that he missed out on while he was stranded. It's as if he has to bear the weight of Kelly's marriage (to someone else) and her family (which he's not a part of) on his shoulders.
