It's a hyperbolization prop (frame from a classic movie where main character is as passionate about small things as an individual can get, to the point where it even looks ridiculous)

Thank you for this reference, title of the article is merely an attempt to adapt/paraphrase a famous quote, it's not at all literal (absolutely no comments ever allowed)
Now that I know, I think it's funny (well, darkly funny). However, while I do have the context for that quote, I had never actually seen the scene or stills from it, so I didn't realize it was a reference, so the title put me off as well.
