"Just look at me once in a while. Not the fighter, but me."

Watch how the physical exhaustion of the training session beautifully mirrors the internal weight the character has been carrying.

For actors, the takeaway here is all about pacing. Notice how the vulnerability isn't rushed; it's earned through a gradual breakdown of defenses between two brothers.
