Re: "close up mode"

This was chosen by Eastwood to emphasize the trapped in the neighborhood lives all were living. He resisted any shots of the Boston skyline, even when they were on the bridge. And the bridge itself is a character, looming behind the neighborhood in many shots.
Just because a talented director chooses low key photography for an overall purpose doesn't mean that choice is "vanilla".
