But isn’t Anakin’s actions horrifying enough, and the sadness in the music just a representation of Obi-Wan’s feelings in that moment? I always feel like Obi-Wan is heartbroken watching this, more heartbroken than scared.
How this scene is shot and Obi-Wans facial expressions as well as his hastiness doesn´t fit sadness. It´s fear, in my opinion. That maybe subject to personal interpretation though.
How do other people think of this?
I would agree personally. I feel like it should be more slow menacing and horrifying. That being said if you do want to pursue the sadness angle it is possible but I think it will have to be far more subtle.
