The fight scene in Waves starts with Tyler confronting his dad (and knocking him down). He then drives to a party, drunk and eager to confront his ex-girlfriend, Alexis. The camera follows him through the large house, painting a melodramatic feel with harsh blue and red color schemes; it’s dark.

He is faced with pressure; he’s a wrestler, and he’s wrestling expectations, which result in him fatally punching Alexis….The screen goes black for seven seconds. Yes, I…
