This still has been taken in a Casino which implies that a
game is being played throughout this film. In addition to this they are playing
on a Card game table, which suggests that one of the characters is taking a
gamble and testing their luck in the situation.
Both of the characters on the right of the screen are focussed on the man sat on the left which gives the impression that he is outnumbered and vulnerable. This paired with the scotch and ash tray in front of him suggests that he is nervous and tense as they are both often used to keep a person calm. In addition to this the characters poise is very stiff, while the other two men seem calm as they have their hands clasped together or are leaning comfortably against their chairs. This implies that he has been caught out while playing the game and perhaps that he had just lost.
The fact that the man wearing the glasses is at the dealer’s side of the table suggests that he has complete control over the game which is being played which places him in a position of power over the man in the black suit.
The black glove suggests that something sinister is in involved in this scene as it implies murder or a crime has been committed as they are often used the hide fingerprints during the attack. While the character has the glove off and resting on the table this also suggests that he has nothing to hide in his current situation, even if there are some skeletons in the closet.
While the man in the brown suit is off in the background, suggesting that he isn’t important in the tense scene in front it also makes him seem more menacing as he is watching over them and is almost like back up for the man in the glasses.
