Live Poll: the Faces of Betrayal (Spoiler-Free)
(well, except for the fact that you know these movies contain betrayals at some point)
BETRAYAL is an ugly thing: friends or allies put their trust on you and it doesn't just participate to an evil scheme, their trust is the most integral and vital part of the plan with the traitor's ensuing guilt (when there is any) as a collateral damage.
Interestingly, while being destroyers of human relationships, traitors are great plot drivers, not surprising that Shakespeare wrote a few pages about them. But this poll isn't about movie traitors but about the betrayed ones and the moments they knew.
Indeed, realizing you've been betrayed is quite a painful experience as if you were going through all stages of grief (minus the bargaining) at once, contributing to some heart-breaking moments in cinematic memory... and some visually interesting emotional cocktails of shock, sadness, disbelief, repressed anger... and other ingredients.
The following pictures -as Bart Simpson would put it- pinpoint the exact moment where these characters' hearts rip in half, when they discover the betrayal. Which one would you describe as the most expressive face of betrayal, which one could be the ultimate meme conveying the total devastation of being betrayed?

Harvey Keitel in Reservoir Dogs if the image was of better quality he would surely be a meme.

One of your images has been removed. If you uploaded it yourself, perhaps you need to find a better quality.

'Another great poll and list, ElMo, and the intro is even beautiful, which you've done before many times and that's why I've always told you that if I ever get my literary journal up and running again, I'd beg you to be the film critic. There's one small part that doesn't seem clear, though: the part around "and it doesn't just participate in an evil scheme" in the first sentence.
Otherwise, the intro is really good, as usual. I'll suggest a few small edits, if you want to make them. (They're mostly semi-colons or colons instead of commas because you know how I am about punctuation, lol.) I removed the bold only so that you could see my suggested edits in bold.
By the way, I especially love the third paragraph and, wow, "emotional cocktail of..." is so good! : )
