Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Watching Troy Burn is what the heroes do as they see a home or place they care about being attacked and possibly even having already been destroyed - and the thing that makes it so heart-wrenching to them is that, for some reason, there's nothing that they can do about it. This trope is often paired with a camera technique to personalize this and drive it home to the viewers, who (let's face it) have likely been desensitized to this sort of thing. The camera will show the heroes approach a cliff/window and get a Reaction Shot of each, then turn and take a good, long look at the burning/ruined panorama, zooming from behind the heroes to a birds eye view. They'll likely stand agape, The Chick will likely cling to The Hero and turn away from the carnage, and at least one hero will fall to their knees and/or scream to the heavens. |
