This is a movie played by Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman. It is a very famous movie and very popular in the late 50s and the early 60s. It is the story of a family that live surrounded of lies and avarices. At the end, the lies are "discovered" and everybody gets what they deserve to: "There is a time and a place for everything", which in Spanish can be translated as "El tiempo pone a cada uno en su lugar".
How can the elements of framing be important in just one scene, in just one shot? For instance by showing the distances betwen characters. In this movie, this aspect is very relevant. Distance helps to show not only the characters' expressions and desires but also the rift opened up between them. Moreover, other elements such as the point of view or perspective and the offscreen elements, are important in the understanding of this movie. The offscreen is very interesting since the spectator is expected to speculate about some offscreen elements like why Brick (Paul Newman) does not love Maggiee (Elisabeth Taylor) if they're supposedly married.
