Looking Up

I was watching Electra the other day and the strong man was chasing her and the treasure as well as her father. Electra was on a branch just above the strong man's head, but he looked everywhere except for above. For some reason when people are looking for something, they never look up. Another example was in the second lord of the rings, or maybe it was the third. Anyway Frodo was running from the giant spider and the spider was right above him, but he didn't look up at all. I wonder if it is just part of the human nature not to look up for some reason. What are your thoughts?

I guess so. Annie hates looking up at the sky. She says it scares her, but I doubt the giant spider was afraid of looking up at the sky. ;)

I think that a lot of times one doesn't really need to look up because you can usually see whatever would be up there in your peripheral vision when your aproaching that area below it. Also though, I think a lot of people would look up, especially if they were really looking for something. In movies it's used more as an excuse for somewhere that someone can hide because it's hard to prove that they could be seen if the right camera angle is used.
