@fallen-star-777 has lately gotten me hooked on Takin' Over the Asylum, so here are some random thoughts from our chat about episode 2, AKA "My thoughts re: Campbell's bangs, and 'Yes, the blue curtains do have meaning'"
So, I think it's pretty interesting that Campbell kind of has his bangs/front part of his hair in his eyes (as opposed to being pushed to the side like normal) after the two scenes where he speaks to his father about the future and what he'll do after leaving the hospital. While I'm not sure if it's intentional, it feels like a neat visual way to reinforce that
He feels very ashamed and, in a way, exposed, around his dad. Campbell feels like he can't quite look his father in the eye, and perhaps wants to subconsciously hide away in whatever manner that he can.
The father and son can't see eye-to-eye because of their disagreements. Campbell's dad thinks the best course of action for his son would be to give up on his current DJ aspirations, seeing them as merely another lofty and flighty dream that will be promptly dropped, and have a career that, while emotionally unfulfilling, is stable. After all, he was able to give up his lofty dreams for something realistic. Obviously, his son completely disagrees. And as I so brilliantly (sarcasm) said in chat "You can't see someone's eyes when their hair is covering them" (thanks Captain Obvious)
Anyway, I'm completely hooked on this show now and it's all your fault Kars (how dare)
