discoveredinaljHe smiled. Subtle in its effect, it crossed his mouth, twisting it into beauty unlit before;
travelled on to his eyes, slanting them with warmth. Lost, Doyle capitulated.
Hyperion to a Satyr
Sebastian
Bodie and Doyle --
multifaceted,
undeniably exquisite on screen and captivating in writing.
One portion of Bodie's uniqueness is his smile.
In his smiles, grins, smirks, beams (!) we see so much emotion -
his expressions of joy, menace, delight, regret, tenderness.
Like Doyle in Hyperion, we capitulate.
This 'project' began simply while reading, thinking to myself, "*That* is his smile, exactly!" and feeling awe at our writers' ability to capture things with such clarity and beauty. I decided to try and find some of those expressions on film, and find images which fit in some way with the words.
It's only Bodie's smiles, but I remind myself that part of the captivation in these smiles is born in Doyle's unique perception of Bodie - many of these smiles are either caused by Doyle or are shared - reciprocal - reflected between the two of them.
I don't think it's possible to capture all of Bodie's smiles. I've gathered these from a small portion of footage and from an even smaller porportion of the written words we have. I also know that a single frozen frame cannot hope to encapsulate the power and range of the written smiles, or of the onscreen smiles, but it's what I was able to work with. I wish that I had the talent with graphics that some of you have, too - I don't think I can do it justice, but I gave it a go. Limited only by time, not by desire, it's a start. Smile, it's Bodie!
