Decoder Ring: The Tootsie Shot
b'You know the\\xa0Tootsie\\xa0Shot. It\\u2019s that shot from the movies: a\\xa0really busy midtown street, protagonist smack in the middle of it all, everyone going somewhere. It\\u2019s one of the most recognizable shots in film. It can be found in\\xa0Working Girl, Midnight Cowboy, Wall Street,\\xa0Heartburn,\\xa0Elf,\\xa0Bridget Jones\\u2019s Diary,\\xa0The Devil Wears Prada,\\xa0The Wolf of Wall Street, and so many more. This is a short, transitional moment that often comes in the middle of a montage and takes up 30 seconds max, and sometimes just two or three. It\\u2019s just someone walking down a crowded street. So why is it so sticky?\\nIf you love the show and want to support us, consider joining Slate Plus.
