[Frameworks] walking through the world

[Amanda Thomson]

This made me think of the scene in Antonioni's Zabriskie Point, where the
guy's is walking past the giant ads, it's half way through this clip...

> First, the clip must be in a readily available film, which most likely

> film, I need a link to it.
>
> Second, it will ideally have a “mythic” quality. “Mr. Smith Goes to
> Washington” comes to mind, even though the “world” he walks through is only
> Washington, D.C. Again, that quality is ideal but not essential.
>
> Another ideal is a montage-like structure in which we periodically see the
> protagonist gazing at the world through which he moves—looking up at
> skyscrapers or mountain peaks, for example, or just “looking around” at the
> environment out of curiosity.
>
> There are hundreds of such scenes, and I probably have them in my library,
> but “memory” is something that I remember I once had.
>
> This is for my Kuchar project, so the wayfarer must be male.

> Thanks again dear hive-mind.
