Thoughts on Until the End of the World

After watching the second half of Until the End of the World, I think I finally grasped the importance of colors and visuals in the film. A few things caught my eye, such as the concentration on black, red, and blue—namely the lab-coats. The father wore black, which is obviously a symbolic color of an antagonist; the mother and Claire wore red (also, the picture of a child wearing a red shirt stood on a table next to the bed); and the team of scientists wore blue.

The cave itself also masked a red and blue undertone. Some walls in the laboratory carried a faint blue, while the untouched rocky walls carried a red. The cave itself is also a symbol as the entrance showcased multiple cave drawings, while the heart of it encased the laboratory where dreams were formulated.

When the dream sequence occurred, the picture on the monitor resembled satellite disruption, which could be associated with the nuclear satellite orbiting Earth at that point and time.

Also, the DVD cover above is pretty sick. Courtesy of freshwap.net.
