The word “HAPPINESS” follows a shot of this object to end the training montage in The Parallax View. A scene that involves this object features close-ups (15[1])on the (-5[1])seams of a man’s suit tearing apart and climaxes (-5[1])with this object in the background as that man, played by Norman Lloyd, screams “Kane!” while flailing his limbs. Near the end of a film shot by Lol Crawley, (15[2])an early shot of this object (15[1])is echoed by a close-up on a cross (15[1])of light in a (*) building (10[1])where a millionaire disappears. The climax of Hitchcock’s (10[1])Saboteur involves this structure. (10[2]-5[1])In the opening of a 2024 film, (10[1])the voice of the protagonist’s wife writing a letter to him in Hungarian is heard as the protagonist (-5[1])walks (10[1])to see this structure (10[1])in a shot framed upside-down. (-5[1])For 10 points, the (10[1])posters for The Brutalist and Escape from New York depict what (10[1])structure that reveals (10[1])Earth (10[1])is the Planet of the Apes? ■END■ (10[1])
