In the above picture for this movie are Daniel-San and Mr. Miyagi


Going in for a long, romantic kiss? Just look how they are gazing longingly into each other’s eyes.

Why yes they are! You certainly seem to be a gentleman of great insight and intelligence!

They're bowing to each other. It was explained when he was teaching him.
"Look Eye. Always look eye." It's a sign of respect to your opponent.

That's some creative shit right there.
They are representing all the demographics here.

Let me jump in...Huh!

Never noticed it before but isn't Daniel's neck a little long? Looks a bit like he's doing an ET extension there.

Frankly, it's freaking me out a little bit the longer I stare at it...

reply

What healing move is more effective - ET's glowing finger or Mr. Miyagi's rapidly rubbing hand power?

reply

His neck is extended because he's bowing and looking up.

reply

In films and television dramas characters often get within a foot of each other while speaking, which people almost never do in real life (except for angry baseball players and umpires). Besides, in the photo they appear to be bowing to each other. There is no indication in the three films or "Kobra Kai" that Mr. Miyagi and Daniel had anything other than a platonic, heterosexual relationship.

I always get a kick out of when they take close up shots of two people in conversation and to keep them both in the shot, they're speaking about 2 inches from each other's face. In real life, someone would get shoved backwards pretty quickly if someone got up and spoke that closely (except if it was some really hot woman to a guy).
