BTS from my fav movie everrr
i saw the tv glow is officially one of my favorite movies HERE'S MY ANALYSIS.... OF COLOR!!!!! (spoilers)
okay so obviously it's a metaphor for being trans, yearning yet being so afraid to look inside yourself and change your life to be who you truly are duh
BUT.... I haven't seen anyone talk about the way colors are used, specifically pink and blue. Pink represents femininity/ acceptance of self or owen getting closer to the truth, the show is literally called the PINK opaque, the movie starts with a pink glow on his face ,he has a pink sleeping bag, he's wearing a pink sweater when asking maddy if he can sleepover isabelle's magic dress that owen wears, the markings on the back of their necks etc.
but blue is the denial of self, and his wardrobe for most of the movie is blue, the luna juice is blue, his room is blue THE HOUSE is blue, the cotton candy, after maddy disappears he's at this closed inflatable party place and it's all blue, there's a blue balloon floating in front of him, the happy birthday scene where he starts screaming the room is overwhelmingly blue in fact every work uniform he has is BLUE except for at the end when he cuts himself open it's a button up with blue pink and black splotches.
I don't think this has to be said but it's obviously the girl = pink and boy = blue thing to really show that's it's about being trans
To contrast this maddys wardrobe is mostly greys, blacks and whites this could show she's sure of herself.
edit : maddy cuts her hair after she comes back after she realizes she's tara to be shorter.. like tara's.
Id also like to point out the color scheme of the parachute, he's wearing blue in this. the parachute is also parallel the planetarium, a structure inside a structure, a temporary illusion like the midnight realm they're trapped in.
edit: wherever owen works its places that are active distractions and temporary illusions as well, the movie theater, party places, arcades all bright fun places filled with distractions to make you forget the outside world
guys i've already gone and watched this movie twice it's so GOOD.
A small training and attempt at doing something a little different from what I usually draw.
