Please choose one-shot/scene from Carol and embed a screenshot(s) or YouTube clip into your post. Describe how the scene’s formal elements draw on the style/film technique of the past to create new ideas about contemporary culture or film technique. Even though Haynes’s film may look like many of the Classic Hollywood films we have studied in the class such as The Bigamist, Carol explicitly addresses issues permitted under the Production Code (most obviously the lesbian relationship between its two primary characters). How does Haynes’s style shed light on topics that were not made explicit in Classic Hollywood films? How does replicating the style of 1950s melodrama in 2002 communicate to us in unique ways?
