Here is Kylo’s expression when Rey is being tortured up in the sky.
You can tell how hard this is for him to watch. He’s supposed to kneel looking down when in the presence of his master. But he steals a nonplussed and shocked look up quickly at her. But really quickly looks back down. He’s still afraid of Snoke. He’s that tortured and abused child in this moment.
He’s been through this before. But watching the one person he cares about in the Galaxy go through this… it’s his own personal hell. You can tell this shakes him to his core. But he can’t do anything about it yet.
This all changes though… because when Snoke slams her into the ground, hard and says you’ll have to die. That’s when Kylo finds resolve in what he’s going to do. He’s no longer shook; he’s livid. Angrier that we’ve ever seen him thus far.
He’s no longer that scared little boy; he grew up in an instant and put someone else before himself. He has a purpose now. And that purpose is Rey.
It’s important to note. That I think in that instant, he realizes he’s in love.
Snoke doesn’t care about him… but Rey does. She’s all he wants. And Snoke went way too far.
That’s when we get this look of pure venom. And you’ll notice when watching, he holds this gaze a lot longer than when she’s being tortured. He’s calculated what he’s going to do, and soon, her suffering will end.
^THIS IS A MAN WITH A PURPOSE AND IN LOVE.
(No wonder he’s so full of spiraling rage when she rejects him….)
