“I’ve always believed a person’s significance to you should be measured not by how long they last, or where they sit on the timeline, but how captivating and genuine your time with them was. You may not be my first or final love, but between us, you will always be my finest one.”

my heart exploded
*Quietly screeches at you*
Procrastinating is hoping that future you isn’t as lazy as current you.
99% of normal people who suddenly received a superpower would use it solely for their own gain, but in movies anybody who does that is a villain
Instead of looking up into the sky, you’re actually gazing down into the infinite cosmic abyss, with only gravity holding you to the surface of the Earth.
We could just send a deaf person into the woods with an axe and a recording device, and we would know if falling trees make a sound with no one around to hear it.
There is no reason to have two single-person bathrooms with gender symbols.

So I went to an art conference at my school. We discussed things there, like how colors can be very powerful and our subconscious picks up the subtlest of hints. Pixar’s UP was a very unforgettable example. The colors of UP had a lot to do with why we cried. You all know what I’m talking about, right??
Ellie’s death.
We were told that her color was pink. That’s why her hospital room had pinkish hue.
And the next scene had strong pink hues. He misses her. I think it’s got strong colors because of her personality.
Also, It’s like her presence is still lingering.
When he got home, only a small part of the frame (window on the right) has a pink hue as the sun is setting. By now, we know her presence is drifting away.
Mr. Fredricksen walks up the porch and goes into his house.
And when he shuts the door, the final frame looks like this:
Ellie is gone.
The entire frame is desaturated and cold because the warmth in Mr. Fredrickson’s life is gone.
And that’s another reason why this masterpiece is heart-wrenching. And that’s how powerful colors are in films.
Thanks, I hate it!
