The colors we see in the vibrant texture of movies are filtered through our minds after the camera. While colors greatly contribute to telling the story, they also symbolize the fundamental curiosity and unique illusion of the movie.
In the multi-colored world, there is a color that symbolizes poems, songs, and deep emotions… Yes: Red!
Red, which sometimes represents anger, sometimes liveliness, and sometimes passion and love, has a power different from all other colors.
As a tribute to the movie’s memory, we have compiled for you movies that emphasize the power of red.
1.The Village
Among the intriguing works of horror cinema, the movie Village tells the story of a closed society that it identifies with the ‘stop’ sign. By painting invisible walls in red, the movie scares us with the ideas it implies rather than the events it narrates. It leaves this fear in our laps with the power of red.
