Pictures stolen from time

I depends on the software that you've got. WinDVD can make screencaps (even in the free version that I've got, though I've heard that there are better versions that you can pay for). There's an icon that looks like a camera on my version of WinDVD; I just click it and it captures the frame.

Question: How does one make "screen caps" (I assume this means capture) if you're watching the movie on your computer? Thanks.

My computer makes a big deal out of not being allowed to do it.

THIS is an extreme example of an image you don't see in the same way when you see the film at normal speed.

Two bodies frozen in movement, and the eye is compelled to look back and forth to set up a relationship between two similar but different body postures.   You may even experience an implied progression from one to the other as with a kinetoscope, after your eye goes back and forth a few times.

The stunt actor who stands in for Jake actually is a quite acceptable match in this particular screen capture, I think.  As good as any they were likely to get.

Apparently posting the same picture the following way doesn't work?
 I grabbed the .jpg name from the properties of the large picture you get when you click the Striped Wall thumbnail.  I then pasted that here and clicked on the picture button as usual.   I can see it when I preview my post, but Jess said she couldn't.

I didn't see it before, but I see it now.

I can see the picture in both of them.  The first is the .jpg on the picture server, DivShare; the second is the .jpg on the Striped Wall site.  It's all a little mysterious - I don't see why I would stand in a different relationship with Striped Wall from anyone else.  Someday I hope to read something that explains how it all works.

Here's that great open sky and open road in the early scene, just like Jack's and Ennis' lives at that point, big spaces waiting to have the joy and sorrow written on them.

Big open spaces for sure... Though, that old rusty pickup settin out in the grass is what drew my attention when I first saw that scene. BBM is a time warp, that truck wouldn't have existed in 63. More like 64 or 65, when it was brand new. Ahhh... well... Really old iron to fill up the backgrounds would have ended up costing more than the whole film's budget.

or just press "P" on the keyboard.   The space bar 'pauses' and you can step frame by frame with the "N" key.  I have WinDVD 7, it came with DVDcopy.  It also supports my soundcard (Creative X-Fi) for Dolby 5.1
