| Description: | "Patience on the Pier": women fishing from pier, 1921. Rear view of fat lady w/ fishing pole standing on pier casting line into water; a boy (c. 12 yrs old) another woman and some men watch her. MLS the woman poses holding up a fish she's caught, w/ group of people crowded around her. (In fact in all the shots there's a small crowd gathered close watching this unusual event.) Next, a younger and slimmer woman pulls in her line w/ 2 tiny fish (are these even real?). Then another fat lady catches some seaweed. MCU she takes it off and tosses it back in water; 2 boys watch in BG. MLS another woman reeling in her line. Shot seen inside a circle w/ rest of screen black: CU small crab dangling from line; woman in BG looks at it w/ sick expression- -somehow this is a cool shot. Back to LS woman holding pole w/ crab on the line. MCU crab dangling next to a toddler and mother; the mother keeps reaching out and poking the crab. MS young woman sits cross-legged on the pier - -doing something to fishing line? Sports, recreation, "battle of the sexes" | |
