I can think of few things that tell me less about a film than four screenshots. Maybe its runtime. Or what the crew ate at craft services during filming. Four frames out of well over 100,000 might give you a taste of a movie’s cinematography or its set design, but apart from that, they are decontextualized images, stripped from the artwork that gives them meaning — and yet they’re often presented to us on social media these days as though they communicate something essential and urgent.
