Color changes everything!
5 May 1999 | by Maurice_Rodney (California Central Coast)
The “inside story” of this film is color. Most professional reviewers, with nation-wide media exposure, missed this underlying story element entirely, as did I, until half way through my first viewing. Once I realized the colors of the costumes changed, as the characters passed from room to room, I had to go back and see it again. That’s how I got hooked.
During the next viewing, I took note of the creativity and effort that went into the design and construction of the costumes, several times, as each one had to be rendered in several colors. The next time through, I noticed how the color of each room related to the activity that normally took place there, even in the outdoor sequences. With the subsequent viewing, I concentrated on the soundtrack.
From that point on, my awareness of all these elements, served to enhance my appreciation of each character and his or hercontribution to the story line. That’s when the much talked about “gross-out” aspects of the film seemed to diminish in their ability to shock. In fact, by that point, they seemed to fit much more naturally, although the “NC-17″ rating is absolutely appropriate.
This is a sumptuous feast for the eyes and ears of intelligent “adult” viewers. Not to be missed.
Good web site! I truly love how it is easy on my eyes and the data are well written. I am wondering how I could be notified whenever a new post has been made. I’ve subscribed to your RSS which must do the trick! Have a nice day!
One important issue is that when you are searching for a student loan you may find that you will want a cosigner. There are many cases where this is true because you should find that you do not have a past credit standing so the bank will require that you’ve got someone cosign the borrowed funds for you. Great post.
Thanks for your short article. I would also like to say a health insurance brokerage service also utilizes the benefit of the actual coordinators of your group insurance policies. The health agent is given a long list of benefits looked for by someone or a group coordinator. What a broker will is search for individuals or coordinators which in turn best fit those demands. Then he reveals his recommendations and if all sides agree, this broker formulates legal contract between the two parties.
