That tension between dialogue and absence is something I’ve been exploring through subtitle timing and pacing—how what’s not said can be just as carefully scripted as what is. For anyone interested, https://subtitleops.com has some related resources on this, especially around how subtitles can either preserve or flatten those subtle cinematic rhythms.
