Shameless Episode

I recently started watching a TV show called Shameless, and there was one scene that really stood out to me lighting-wise. One character, Lip, was going through a lot of internal struggle about possibly leaving home and starting a new life when his sister, Fiona, came to visit him and talk about it. Lip was sitting on a bridge at sunset - at what I believe is called "golden hour" - when Fiona visited him. The light from the sun made the asphalt and the characters on the bridge look yellow and orange, and was almost blinding. The imagery of the blinding-but-beautiful sunset was perfect for the scene because it reflected the unknown future and the possibility of it either being beautiful or dark. The warm colors of the sun reflected the love and warmth Fiona and the rest of her family had for Lip, which was Lip's main reason to consider staying. I really liked the choice to use such a strong, natural light source to emotionally and visually support that scene.
