Suspiria color debate: Finally, the world starts talking about the missing red, after 'Movie Streamerz'





The newly-released teaser trailer of Suspiria created a 'big', 'hot' fuzz on June 4. The online news websites and social media platforms celebrated the 'terror', or 'scare' factor of the trailer.



Everyone celebrated the shock value, Dakota Johnson and Tilda Swinton. "Dakota Johnson is unrecognizable..."; Some media went gaga for Tilda's transformation as an elderly man. Of course, transformation is not a new thing for Swinton who is known for her unbelievable makeovers, e.g. Snowpiercer, Trainwreck, We Need to Talk about Kevin, The Grand Budapest Hotel.


However, no one really cared about the look of the film. It appeared that the 'look' became overlooked amidst the flood of praises for the trailer. Movie Streamerz is one of the few movie websites that wrote about the lack of vibrant color in the remake by Luca Guadagnino.

Movie Streaming God had written that the presence of red color was the key factor that made the 1977 Dario Argento film unique. The remake, produced by Amazon Studios, looks like any other modern horror flicks in the first trailer ( they are very good though). 




The point is without the color scheme or the Goblin soundtrack Suspiria will be just another witch tale. It cant' be Cold, Evil and Dark as per Guadagnino's justification for the lack of red color in his version.



Good. That is his justification. He has the freedom to make movie according to his vision and aesthetic preferences. However, the concern of Movie Streamerz was no other website had pointed out about the lack of color scheme in 2018 Suspiria remake trailer.

However, new update is that horror movie website Bloody Disgusting has wrote an editorial on the lack of color in Suspiria remake. It is shallow, yet thanks for bringing the debate to the mainstream, Bloody Disgusting.

How did James Franco's viral 'First Time? Meme' originate?

Those who are yet to see Coen Brothers' ' The Ballad of Buster Scruggs ' must be the ones who Google to know from where did the 'First Time?' meme featuring James Franco come from. The meme features James Franco as a cowboy outlaw about to be hanged. He has a noose around his neck. He's not alone there are other convicts in similar fate. An old guy who also has a noose around his neck starts crying. Franco goes to a bank to rob it Franco asks him casually : "First Time, huh?" This is because Franco had been convicted for hanging earlier in the bank for attempting to rob a bank. At the time of his execution, Comanche warriors storm into the place and kill his executioners and Franco escapes.

The American: A Carefully Crafted Assassin Film

The opening sequence of George Clooney ’s 2010 assassin film The American is shocking but interesting. We see a couple, Clooney and Irina Bjorklund , relaxing after a love-making session. The brooding Clooney is sitting on the floor; a naked Irina Bjorklund caresses his body while laying on the bed.  This set-up is interesting as it leaves no clue about the genre of the film. An ordinary moviegoer would easily guess it as a romantic movie, provided he or she hasn’t googled The American. The couple goes out and gets attacked by two snipers, whom the beautiful Irina confuses as hunters. Clooney’s girlfriend gets shocked when he kills two of his attackers with his gun. While killing his attackers Clooney’s character Jack displays the adeptness of a seasoned contract killer. It is only at this moment that we realise that The American is an assassin film. After killing the hunters, Jack kills his girlfriend, maybe to protect his identity as a gunsmith and a professional assassin. A gr...
