And now the color RED in the movies

Color in Movies - Blue

Colors are very important in Cinema. We all remember some particular scene in a movie where a color caused a strong impression on us. Or a director whose style includes a special attention to the colors. Selecting some of the greatest movies or movie scenes that used a particular color seems a great idea. And the french tv channel Arte did just that. The result is a small set of delicious videos that you can watch in this post and the following! We'll start with the color BLUE.

Cloud Atlas Ending

Trying to find Ben Whishaw's final scene on Cloud Atlas, one of the greatest I've ever seen on screen. Couldn't find it, but still I couldn't stop thinking about one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. Leave you with these wonderful last moments:

 

A little funny in the head

"Well, he went a little funny in the head. You know, just a little... funny."
Peter Sellers, a genius, in one of his best scenes.

Still the moon

When the moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie

Super moon night

Guardate la luna, la bella luna

Love Song For A Vampire

Love Song For a Vampire is the perfect title for this unforgettable Annie Lennox's song which suits perfectly in one of Coppola's masterpiece. One of the best adaptation that a book has ever had on screen: Aascary and passionate Dracula whose mouth longs for blood as for a kiss of his long lost love. 

"Come into these arms again and set this spirit free."

Too bad she won't live. But then again, who does?

Lego Matrix

A very funny and perfect scene:

Why Is The English Patient My Favourite Movie?

It's very hard to choose only one movie from so many wonderful masterpieces, but if I had to choose only one, The English Patient would definitely be it. I love this movie for all its fascinating details.

The photography is amazing, giving us the most wonderful landscapes, capturing the real personality of the desert.

All the actors are perfect.

Both Kristin Scott Thomas and Ralph Fiennes are so well and so truthful that it is almost as if that was actually true.

Juliette Binoche is grand. Give us one of her most generous and inspiring performances.

And the soundtrack is so powerful that it's almost like a character itself.

The book by Michael Ondaatje which inspired the movie is a masterpiece and the way Anthony Minghella developed the screenplay fits perfectly on the screen.

The first time I saw it I was too young to appreciate it, and I didn't like it. Actually I didn't really see it. I haven't paid attention. "How long is a day ine the dark?"

A few years after I saw it by chance and I fell in love with the movie as they fall in love with each other. "We are the real countries, not the boundaries drawn on maps with the names of powerful men."

The story takes place in two different moments: what it is and what it was. The memory gives life to some of the most wonderful moments on screen and the day to day reveals lovely in it's truthful.

We often forget that the biggest moments in life are born from insignificance. And it's from the unlikely that is born the intensity which transforms us. We stop being who we were and we become somebody else, without realizing that the changing is happening. The stronger and lasting ties are bron from from the improbability of those moments.

K yields; actualy K seeks for the danger. Or was it inevitable? Because after those eyes stumble on each other could it be any other way? But the danger chokes, because love is free - "in love there are no boundaries" - but the world is not.

Almasy doesn't like to be owned but he didn't know then that he belonged. And belonging is unavoidable and even desirable because "the heart is an organ of fire".

Almasy doesn't understand - and it's understandable - K's choice. He thinks, maybe, that represents the absence of feelings, the absence of what was lived.

“How can you stand there? How can you ever smile as if your life hadn’t capsized?"

"Do you think you’re the only one who feels anything? Is that what you think?”

Herodotus – the father of History – is the witness of this story, as are all the beings so absent and so present in the lives of those who love. The music is one of the greatest witnesses and Almasy can sing all the time:

“Is there a song you don’t know?”

And Yared's chords witness the visit to the church, the Christmas lunch, the route with K in he's arms or the voices of two actresses in that pure and realistic vision of the countries, fears, love, light, life and the palace of winds in that place between the sea and the sky.

"My darling: I'm waiting for you. How long is a day in the dark? Or a week? Fire is gone now, and I'm cold, horribly cold. I really want to drag myself outside but then there'd be the sun. I'm afraid I waste the light on the paintings and on writing these words. We die. We die. We die rich with lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we have entered and swum up like rivers. Fears we've hidden in - like this wretched cave. I want all this marked on my body. We’re the real countries. Not the boundaries drawn on maps with the names of powerful men. I know you'll come and carry me out into the Palace of Winds. That's all I've wanted: to walk in such a place with you. With friends. An earth without maps. The lamp has gone out and I'm writing in the darkness."

This movie is made of moments (aren't they all?) and the way those moments come together giving life to this wonderful masterpiece is absolutely passionate.

This wonderful masterpiece is a rediscovery each time we see it.

The More You Know

Can't Hardly Wait

Two amazing actresses, an actor who is becoming someone I admire, a director I deeply love, a passionate trailer... Can't hardly wait:

Alfred Hitchcock Cameos

One of the funny things about watching an Hitchcock movie is finding Hitchcock himself in it. Sometimes it's very easy, but sometimes he's very well hidden! I don't want, in any way, to spoil your fun. But here you have a video that can help you spot the great Alfred Hitchcock in all his appearances. To remember if you already seen the movies and found Mr. H, or help you get the ones you missed. Don't see it if you want to find him by yourself. In that case go and see all his movies. You won't regret it!
