A shot from the film The Third Man
With the tunnel drawing to a vanishing point, the light source in this shot can be considered as one single point, which applies to the theme very well. From the viewer’s perspective, the man almost blocks the whole vision to the end of the tunnel because he is very close to us. So that we don’t know what is out there at the end where the light is from, which creates a sense of being trapped and blocked. That’s because in a dark environment, we tend to look for some light, as if the light is the hope.
