on closer inspection, you can see that they used different takes for the individual scenes and the alternate take is somehow even more gut-wrenching

Okay but how amazing is this in terms of attention to detail?  Because very, very few people have a photographic memory, and the Winter Soldier – whose brain is essentially electrified pudding at this point – most certainly wouldn’t have total recall, even of a single instant that very clearly shook him, to the point of destroying his conditioning and requiring a full reboot.  This is the kind of detail that no one is going to notice who isn’t obsessively watching the movie over and over (aka, us), but they still did it – and maybe more painful still, the alternate take (Bucky’s memory) is quieter, somehow; it seems to be a take where Chris Evans is taking a quieter approach to the line.  Bucky’s rewriting the memory in his head, trying to work out how he knows “the man on the bridge” – and it isn’t his own name, really, that’s causing his confusion.  It’s Steve’s face, perhaps, but it’s the way he’s saying his name; the way he’s said it all their lives.  And maybe, just maybe, that’s why Bucky’s reworked the memory in his head, shifted it, just a little – made it softer, made it a little more quiet.  Because what has him in knots isn’t just this one, single moment; it’s the way that moment calls up echoes of his old self – the man who heard this voice a thousand times, who called him this, over and over…and, very likely, who said it a little more like in his memories: softer, more intimate.  Bucky’s taken away some of the shock; he’s focused on the part that’s truly confused him, all soft lights and blurred camera and utter impossibility: he’s focused on affection.

the first one is disbelief/incredulity; the second one is just ANGUISH
