Harry Potter and the Schindler’s List: Is It Me?

Having seen all the Harry Potter films (Except the forth….pretty much a complete blank on that one), I’ve notice the undeniable fact that their draining the colour out of the film. From the first being a colour feast to this film’s colour palette being composed solely of brown, white, black, grey, red and fire (Fire’s not a colour, but I’m thinking about that bit where he’s swirling a storm of freaking fire. That bit looks awesome!).

I can see it now everything black and white by the last film of two (Because they say there’s just so much in the last brick—-book! I mean book….Shut up!). That’ll they make a ninth to be annoying completely composed of new material, except presented in a completely black screen in silences…..three hours of the totality of nothingness till you realised you’re not watching the redefining film of the series and only watching a blank screen with a game of pong in process appearing out of nowhere; your mind has just snapped. This film, I just keep expecting Liam Neeson to appear to Harry and give him some advice while smuggling some Jews to Hogwarts, or something a little unexpected from the whole colour being drained out of the picture this year. I mean compare it to the first one and you’ll see the whole world just seems to be covered in bad weather continually. In the rainy cloudy days sort of day where everything has a discoloured feel about it.

Get Liam Neeson in a Harry Potter film and I’ll be over the moon about it. “Go Neeson! Go Neeson!” I would cry out to the screen while thinking of “Darkman” along with “Batman Begins” (For good measure) for the instant thought of how awesome he was in them both. The whole lack of colour just brings the thought of Liam Neeson on the mind bending thought of how the last two films will be presented….totally black and white. With the occasional use of colour somewhere along the way to represent something like…..like how awesome Liam Neeson is? If you think back to the third film, you might notice the first sign of them removing some colour on an extremely thin and almost none existent thread….they’ve just gone all weird to make everything have the boring shades of real life embedded into it somehow.

To anyone who feels this is a little short. It’s because I’m to Frances today or yesterday, depending on when this get’s published. (Update: This was meant to be posted a few weeks back, so now it’s being posted when I’m back).

Thought of the day:

Liam Neeson as Ulysses in a Ulysses 31 film would be awesome.
