What dreams may come?

Watching an old episode of a British crime drama and the opening scene was beautifully shot. A man apparently* jumps to his death from a high urban building. There's no noise from the scene, just music as a soundtrack and lots of juxtaposition with the bright sunshine and blue sky so on.

I'm sure the intended reaction was shock.

I've already described it as beautiful, though I'm fully aware that what we're exposed to in the media is far from what real life is like (though the director did a good attempt at realism with pretty shocking blood splatter and a return to audio a split second after the "body" landed.)

Anyway, it just got me thinking about how everyone views things differently, depending on their mindset and, in the case of fiction, that must often wildly differ from how it's originally intended.

*It's a British crime drama. Nothing is ever as it seems!

That is my usual though too when see those. But what we see as beautiful or fascinating, I can imagine what the rest of the world interprets it as. Did they atleast make it from a sufficient enough hight?
