Having been suggested by Roma Patel to watch the film Punch-Drunk Love during one of the complimenting colours lectures, I had chance to watch it over the Christmas period. In addition, the fact that Adam Sandler is one of my favourite actors now gave me the drive to watch it as he is the main character in the film. Right from the start of the film I noticed that the film could be based around colours because the title screen is clearly expressing the contrasting colours of red and blue on a colour spectrum.
Immediately when the two main characters meet (Adam Sandler and Emily Watson) we notice that they have the same colour contrast on their clothing. Sandler has a blue suit on which he remains wearing throughout the film and Watson has a bright red dress on. The producer always makes this contrast clear by the was he positions the characters face to face at each side of the screen. The coloured clothing could have many different meanings although I believe that the blue suit is expressing the personality of Adam Sandler’s Character, this personality is warm and friendly most of the time although a cold violent angry side of his personality is regularly expressed to show the issues that he has with himself and his family. In a complete contrast, Emily Watson’s character is warm and friendly ass the time, this is expressed through the bright red clothing that she regularly wears throughout the film. There is also the contrast of their personalities, which becomes insignificant as they fall in love throughout the film.
Finally, the film has small animations, which regularly get thrown in to skip through to different other scenes. These animations also contain the two contrasting colours of red and blue, this shows that the contrast of colours and personalities are one of the main themes throughout the film.
