amelie

last night for color we watched amelie, a french movie, i was a little worried about having to read subtitles the whole time. and at first i'll admit it was hard to read and analyze the scene before it changed. i finally got used to the movie and by the end didn't even remember i was reading the words instead of hearing them. i thought the movie was great, actually probably one of my favorites now. i loved the story line but also was so intrigued by all of the sets, colors, costumes, etc. i noticed 3 extremely dominant colors, red, green, and yellow. as for an accent color i would have to guess blue or brown. i thought it was really interesting how the scenes were really colorful. generally amelie was dressed in red, i think this emulated her love for humanity and need to help those around her. i really noticed how the colors affected what i was feeling and thinking about the plot and overall story of the movie. i think this movie is fantastic and the use of color was very effective and well used. (i especially loved the gnome travelling around the country to encourage the father's travel. it was really fun, but i also think travel can have a huge impact on someone's life.)
