Because of the suicidal strategy of Gina's husband, this one-sided affection becomes an important motivation for Gina to be happy and get over the past experience. The narration of the film reveals Jerome's understanding of Gina's experience, leading it more difficult for him to completely break up with her. In addition, Gina makes the unthinkable decisions …show more content…

The film reveals small details that show Jerome's taking over Gina's life, such as the contagious eye infection, Gina's abandonment her career and family, moving to Paris and depression over being heartbroken. The director use of light and color into the film illustrate a richer story in many ways. First of all is to tell a love story from Gina's perspective. The romance in Gina's imagination is certainly being dramatized by the use of intense, hazy colors of pink and red. Those moments are shown in the color setting of the strip club in Paris, the color when they have a drunken love-making. The viewing experience of the story and scenario would have been incredibly opposite if it was painted by a real mundane color and lighting setting. In contrast, the color shifted when Gina come back to her reality such as when getting back to the airplane, getting the "Plan B" pregnancy prevention. In this case, the setting of the Gina's coming back to Paris and the strip club to find Jerome play a vital role for Silver to immerse the audience to a different world of

The people in the town had an altered idea of who they were, however when Jennifer and Bud come and start to cause change they are forced into making the choice of accepting it or trying to fight it.

    Of course, with Mannerism, an unrealistic palette is one of the many characteristics that goes with it. I think that the scene portrayed is quite sad and emotional, and the colors don’t really reflect that but instead steers that emotion away by giving you colors that represent a different emotion. Although the palette is not as off putting as Jacopo Pontormo’s Descent from the Cross, you can still see a similarity on the way Fontana didn’t execute the color selection properly. The blue used for the sky in the background seems a little vibrant along with the rest of colors throughout the piece, besides earth tones. The piece seems to be a bit on the cool tone side, but it is mixed with some warm tones as well, maybe by adding more warmth in to it we would’ve gotten a better tone

    Another one of the main examples from the movie is at the end when the townspeople fight one another because of the colors changing. The basic characters who have not experienced emotion are still seen as black and white, how they think things should be. While the ones that have changed color have felt the emotions they fight for what should be the new norm. The bright colors and contradicting new art everyone sees causes riots and fights to break out. All of this is taken to court where everyone witnesses the mayor himself change color, and the people began to see that changing color is something you cannot help showing, similar to one’s emotions.

    In the year 1945 Fritz Lang directed Scarlet Street, a truly classical film noir. The screenplay consists of two criminals who take advantage of a middle-aged painter in order to steal his artwork. Absolutely one of the finest of all film noirs, Fritz Lang’s Scarlet Street is a remake of Jean Renoir’s La Chienne. These two films share essentially the same structure. “The ineffectual nebbishy cashier and protagonist, Maurice Legrand in La Chienne and Chris Cross in Scarlet Street, demonstrates a level of cowardice and naiveté in grown men that is simply unforgivable, thereby resulting in a fate that must be tragic” (Hassannia Para. 1).

    Metropolis is a 1927 German expressionistic science fiction film, directed by Fritz Lang. Much of the plot is established following influences of the first world war, and the culture of the Weimar Republic in Germany. Although criticised for its allusions to communism in the resolution of the film, Lang explores mostly themes of industrialisation and mass production, which, coincidentally, were two developments that provided a large influence in the First World War. Lang also explores themes of the Weimer view of American modernity, communism and fascist rule. Politically, this film was shot after WWI, meaning many of its influences were extracted from the horrors of the First World War.
