I understand how some films want a drab atmosphere for their story, but it seems to be quite prevalent now.<BR/><BR/>In the end, I love good use of light...Whether it's the shadows, deep blacks and multitude of grays in b/w films OR the rich hues and timely use of colour.Bob Turnbullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02243657105760780425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977893001776125260.post-83265358896597846592007-09-01T08:44:00.000-05:002007-09-01T08:44:00.000-05:00Great post Bob.

I could barely look at the black and white captures because I was so terrified. <BR/><BR/>On a more serious note, I would say that color is horribly misused these days. Rather than embrace the richness of colors like Do The Right Thing, we are fading and going to more green and grays. I will take the old color of Leave Her To Heaven any day of the week. Give me back my candy apple reds.PIPERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13054305230216613759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977893001776125260.post-91186310005572284172007-08-29T12:15:00.000-05:002007-08-29T12:15:00.000-05:00Exactly shahn!
