Saturday, May 10, 2003 Off topic, but I have to say that one of the coolest cinematic effects I can think of in the past 50 years, is in the movie "Apocalypse Now." The scene in which the men have just left the surfing beach and are all in the jungle off the boat, the entire scene with the tiger, it is absolutely amazing. The whole picture, actors included, is in a washed out blue, a dawn-like color with the feeling of the moments right before sunrise. All around the men, the jungle is swallowing in on them, and littered about are vibrantly colored green leaves, directly contrasting the deep faded blue. It is not all the leaves, it is not all the green and yellow things in the frame, just some, and the effect is amazing. I am unclear of the intended symbolism, but it really looks amazing, and adds a depth to the scenes. Everyone should check it out. |
