In my feed recently I’ve seen several meme-like deployments of the frame above, from the film Uncut Gems, in which Eric Bogosian’s character is trapped in a vestibule behind a bulletproof glass door. Adam Sandler’s character has locked him there to stall for time while he waits to see if he’ll win a large sports bet he’s placed with what’s essentially Bogosian’s money. The image seems to capture Bogosian’s begrudging resignation, the moment at which he realizes he has no choice but to sit there until Sandler’s scheme is done. It’s also the moment in the film when Sandler seems to believe that he’s won Bogosian over to his cause. Forced to bear witness to the audacious genius of his plan, Bogosian will have no choice but to respect his nerve.
