Unbelievably spoilers for Daredevil: Born Again ep 9
So I’m INSANE about this shot. I clocked immediately there was so much going on and had to rewatch it, now I’m babbling and trying to do film analysis
After multiple scenes throughout the season using that super cool switch-up in focus and aspect ratio to show when Matt has his hearing focused somewhere else, in this case when we see Matt tilt his head, it’s to show us his split focus.
He’s talking to Karen yes and he’s listening to her, but he’s verrrrry interested in Frank’s reaction and he’s locked in on it. And we’re meant to be too- we spend so long focused on Frank. Seriously it’s such a long shot.
Matt and Karen are talking while Frank isn’t reacting in a traditional sense, but they’re out of focus; it’s all about Mr Castle right here, and his definitely-not-reacting reaction. But I bet a heartbeat doesn’t lie.
You heard his too?
Oh, yeah.

Frank not caring what anyone thinks of him, but as soon as karen page is disappointed in him, he has the saddest puppy dog eyes you’ve ever seen.
Someone was saying that the whole triangle scene was the writers showing Frank as a third wheel in Karedevil, but I completely disagree. There is a huge difference between that scene and the one in which Karen and Frank are talking:
When Karen and Matt are talking, Frank is the focus and the topic, HE is the elephant in the room.
When Karen and Frank are talking they are the ONLY ones in the room. Matt is...just there. On the side... not even on the same frame. He is the third wheel not Frank.
The two very different framings speak for themselves:
Matt and Karen become more and more out of focus and then you can't even see them. And they don't talk about anything else other than....*cough* frank *cough*
And here Matt is all alone and looking uncomfortable hahaha. Not even on center frame. He is not in their world. Frank is the one that lets him in after excruciating silence and Karen's rejection of the coffee. And only does it to break the tension.
“Come on Karen, look I know you, alright? You’re brave…. You’re strong, alright, but you are so goddamn stubborn and you will throw everything away for me and I cannot let that happen, alright?” was another love confession fr
