In the opening scene of Todd Haynes’ Carol (2015), Cate Blanchett’s eponymous character places a hand on the shoulder of Rooney Mara’s Therese as they apparently bid goodbye to one another. The narrative subsequently tracks back to the pair’s first meeting before following their relationship chronologically. When, just under two hours later, the action returns to that same moment in context, the electricity sparking from a tumult of passion, loss, restraint and resolve - conducted by that hand and shoulder - is almost overwhelming. (x) Carol (Dir. Todd Haynes, 2015)

do you ever love a character so much that every time you see them a warm feeling of pure happiness just wraps around your heart for a moment and you just sit there for a moment smiling softly, maybe even a little teary eyed, and it’s just nice and comforting
