Just scrolling through the images, top to bottom, one cansee the clor shift from lush green to cold white to ghastly gray.

(In some cases, the symmetry only occurred to me while making the screen-caps - I didn't realize the similarity of the movement towards the open field in the beginning and the dark pipe at the end until this point.MovieMan0283http://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610074516299275060.post-31415853618048121612010-01-14T05:04:05.657-05:002010-01-14T05:04:05.657-05:00Stunning images Joel.Stunning images Joel.Tony D'Ambrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00359495250856189815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610074516299275060.post-77975672235298634242010-01-14T18:32:07.509-05:002010-01-14T18:32:07.509-05:00Aren't they?

One thing I loved about this movie was the way it clicked with certain dreams I've had, in which the city and the village (perhaps I should say City and Village) have an almost mythic quality and the boundaries between them become fluid. Jung wrote about such a sensibility in his autobiography and it's probably pretty common amongst those who grew up in more rural or small-town settings and moved to the cities in young adulthood. For whatever reason, it really clicked with me.<br><br>(Another filmmaker who taps into this quality is film/music video director Michel Gondry - many of his videos play precisely with this dichotemy between nature and city, often conceived on a very childlike level.)MovieMan0283http://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.com
