What a Way to Go really does COLOUR! Like this extended gag where an entire house is painted pink, only for Louisa May Foster (Shirley MacLaine) to swan into it in stark skin-and-bikini contrast . . . and then soon after, widows weeds.
A pink lawn chair and pink table sit on a pink slab of concrete surrounded by pink bushes, a pink statue, and pink trees. On the pink lawn chair lies a woman in a little black bikini.

A wide shot of a pink-painted palacial place, with pink stairs, a pink railing, pink decor, and pink wallpaper. Down the stairs walks a small figure entire clothed in black widows weeds.

#Noirvember Character Introductions 2/2 This scene from The Postman Always Rings Twice clearly foreshadows the fate of John Garfield's protagonist within the first few seconds of sighting his femme fatale. buff.ly/tX0dWHL

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You 2/2 The juxtaposition visually represents the way Linda is trying to carve out her own time and place. (further breakdown and photos on the substack)

If I Had Legs I’d Kick You uses a red colour wash in several scenes where Linda (Rose Byrne) is with her daughter, and blue and green washes in several scenes when Linda is alone, usually smoking outside. 1/2

The crux of these two distinct colour washes is how the entire tone of the scene shifts in a split second - just as Jacob hits his angry note, the colour wash changes from cool blue to HOT PINK!

Spooktober continues with a funny, weird blend of physical comedy and visual effects in this Beetlejuice gag! buff.ly/vTAPgdO

The entirety of this spinning oner from Blow Out is over two minutes, so the full thing will be up on Substack along with further breakdown, but take a moment to appreciate how effective the spinning sensation is at disorienting us along with Jack's (John Travolta) growing panic!

When the emergency lights go on in this Ride or Die scene, everything in the hallway is soaked in red; even the one practical light, the EXIT sign, is red - a sign of danger, but also a sign Debbie (Octavia Spencer) is about to throw down for the first time.
Medium shot of a woman (Debbie, played by Octavia Spencer) standing in a hallway. The entire scene is bathed in red light; she is staring intently at a man, whose shoulder is just inside the frame. To her right is a fire extinguisher, and she looks like she's about to wield it . . .
