Round 5: Tossup 15

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 on the seams of a man’s suit tearing apart and climaxes 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[1])an early shot of this object is echoed by a close-up on a cross (15[1])of light in a (*) building where a millionaire disappears. The climax of Hitchcock’s Saboteur involves this structure. In the opening of a 2024 film, the voice of the protagonist’s wife writing a letter to him in Hungarian is heard as the protagonist (-5[1])walks to see this structure 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 Earth (10[1])is the Planet of the Apes? ■END■
