  • Swallow by Carlo Mirabella-Davis' uses color theory to tell a greater story about identity and acceptance. By looking at the meaning of each colors, the patterns they build, and their pay-off, we can uncover deeper truths about who we are, and who we are not.

    As soon as you said you can watch this movie, Swallow on mute and follow and understand it. I paused your review and analysis and watched the trailer on mute. Even just for the one or two minute trailer I understood the dynamics of the relationships and character action and choices via the color. This was a really good review/analysis/talk. Thank you.

      Ah thank you - appreciate it! Yeah, I just went back and did the same with the trailer and, if you pay attention to the colors, it totally works there as well. Thanks for the kind words! Next video will be on Titane - stay tuned ☺️

    Such a beautiful movie, I'm glad to revisit it through your essay, great job explaining how the colors are not just there for aesthetic but play a significant role in the storytelling. And very glad to see I discovered your channel just when you're coming back from hiatus; It Follows is excellent and i'm looking forward your take on it

    Did the old version of this essay have an introduction about Mark Rothko paintings? I'm pretty sure it was your video that did this. It made me realise the emotional complexity in Rothko's painting, so when you showed them after explaining the feelings behind them, I genuinely cried a little., and it set the tone wonderfully for the rest of the video. It was actually the vid that introduced me to your channel! Is it still available as unlisted or anything? (Of course I might be mistaken, apologies if so!)

      Hey! Hah - you've been here a while then - yes that was also me. I took a long break from UA-cam so I decided, to get back into the swing of things, I would re-do one of my super early videos, before starting fresh ones. I unlisted the old one but it's still around, here's the direct link :) ua-cam.com/video/sQm8i3iE1IY/v-deo.html
      You made my day bringing up how you liked that one, my older videos felt a little rough to me since my editing has gotten much better - happy to hear they were still appreciated :)
      Thanks again!
