Each colour that is used has a symbolic emotional representation which helps tell the overall story. Apparently, Nicolas Refin is also colour blind, so he tends to use highly contrasting colours in all of his films. The use of colour is even present on the films cover jacket. On it, we see Julian wearing a white t-shirt facing the colour red. His back is to the colour blue. The cover in itself tells a story once we realize what the colours represent. Something that I do not discuss in depth in this article is the colour black. I've noticed that Julian wears a black t-shirt when he commits a random act of violence and Crystals dress is both white and black. Gods shirt is Black as well. Black is a bit obscure in its use for me, but it is something to keep in mind when watching the film. My initial impression is that black represents something to fear. We fear god, we fear our mother and we fear random acts of violence. In the film blue represents peace and tranquillity. When God sings karaoke, he is mostly surrounded by blue light. In this scene, red lights on the ceiling show us that God is purifying himself after an act of justice. He washes away his violent acts by pushing them away from him. We could also say that when god is at peace he keeps violence at bay. Another major contrasting moment in colour is when Julian washes his hands in the bathroom. In this scene he is bathed in blue light and he appears to be relatively at peace with himself. However, he begins to envision blood on his hands which represents his guilt creeping back into his mind and suddenly we see him travelling back down a red corridor. Julian is never at peace with himself because he is haunted by his violent past. The colour white represents innocence or purity. Not surprisingly, Gods collar is white to demonstrate his underlying purity. At onepoint Julian, wearing a white t-shirt, follows God through the streets of Bangkok. In this scene Julian appears to have an innocent curiosity towards the figure of god. In another scene, an innocent man in a white suit becomes the subject of Julian’s wrath after he becomes sexually aroused by Mai. Sexual arousal triggers Julian’s anger and he takes his anger out on an innocent bystander. Julian often wears a white shirt, mostly to show his innocence however, in this particular scene he wears a black t-shirt. But watch this scene closely because his shirt actually switches colours - from white to black. When he fantasizes about sex with Mai he is innocent, and he wears a white shirt. When the fantasy is interrupted he is wearing a black shirt and he is something to be feared. https://steemit.com/philosophy/@leaky20/my-interpretation-of-the-meaning-behind-the-filmonly-god-forgives...
