colorful and expressive

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2014)

This movie has so many enchanting aspects from the charming witty humor, to the colorful abstractions and an adorable love story. This is one of my favorite films not only because it is a musical and I love stories told through song, but because it was one of the first movies to really experiment with abstract representations of what a character was going through, up until this time things seem so black and white (literally) but we have this song expressed in color and motion and shapes and even though it is not realistic in any way, the scene brings its point across to the audience ushering in a new wave of cinematography to play with inspiring lots of more unconventional approaches to story communication.
