All the different stares and gazes make this image fascinating to look over.
“I saw (a guy) at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome in a motorcycle jacket whose face was covered in bandages. He had foam pads on the side of his head, his eyes were all black – and he was walking around the place in this sort of startled daze, with tears just sort of standing in his eyes. You really felt like this guy had been through something horrific and you couldn’t stop watching him; and that was really the inspiration for Owen’s character in the film.”
~ Filmmaker Wes Anderson on the character of Francis Whitman played by Owen Wilson.
