Scorpio's rise

   Unless my brain has rotted a lot more than i noticed over the decades, a striking scene, if not the opening shot, very soon after, has missed mention in our coverage:

• The camera is focused on the black-leather-clad shoulders of a man. (My gut says he's black-haired, and wearing a black leather cap, but that's the sort of thing my gut makes up, give a enuf time to ruminate.)
• Without changing the distance between his back and the camera, or the camera angle, the image creeps down his back, apparently as he rises to his feet. Riveted-on letters on his leathers start to come into the frame. The letters say "SCORPIO". (Ta-da: Scorpio, not a constellation, but a leather-and-bikes fan, rises as we watch.)
     Now, i won't deny it being trivial or tacky, but it was given pride of place as the opening, and that choice is a substantial facet of the film. (I don't remember if it was right at this point, but the audience is informed with words, that the film is attentive to something about making things go -- hence bikes, leather, and the men who love them.) I don't know whether those details were groundbreaking, or the film as a whole is important as "real" art, but if the film is article-worthy, the pun, the visuals, and the supposed theme seem to me to belong in the article.
