Down with Love:
The main character in this movie is a white woman like the shining full-moon with blond hair like the golden wheat pinnacles, dressed in carnation-pink. She enters her hotel suite with its white walls and vividly-colored furniture, reflecting her perception of life: La Vie en Rose; there, she met her secretary, a brunette in her late-twenties dressed in cherry-red, which tells about her passion for life and action, who after welcoming her opens the off-white and salmon curtains, that open to a world bright and full of optimism and perfection. She then picked up her pink telephone and called a man trying to fix an appointment with him. The mid-thirties man, dressed in black and white and living in a dark room as the spirit that he has, agreed on meeting her, and kept giving her appointments and not showing up time after time, as he was always occupied with flirting with women dressed in turquoise blue, as if it was the color of the ignorant victims of cheating who are naïve by their turn, while she kept receiving his apology phone calls. She kept being optimistic with her vividly-colored dresses and phones, and she kept believing his hollow excuses, while her secretary, wearing always the complementary colors or patterns of hers, as an indication to the reflection of her mood, and her impression with her thoughts and character.
To make my mosaic, I chose to use a ripped red heart on
a light pink background to symbolize the broken heart or deceived blond woman living in her perfect and bright world, in contrast with the dark world of the man using a dark blue background and a yellow 4-pieced heart, symbolizing his deceptive nature and his 4 sided facets, one for each of his mistresses that are symbolized with four turquoise hearts surrounding him, and each directed toward him not the others, to say that they ignore their presence.
8 mile:
One cold night in a dark night club, lit with dim white lights and foggy with the cigarettes’ smoke rising from the excited audience wearing all dark jackets and pants, two contestants were on stage challenging each other in Rap: one Afro-American guy and one and only white guy, wearing a light grey shirt and having a punched red eye, as a symbol to the eternal conflict between the dark evil and the bright good, where evil is the prevailing and good is like the candle in the dark that shines and illuminates its surrounding. The presenter, a black man with black long dread locks and a pistachio t-shirt, held two microphones: one silver and one black, handled the latter to the white man to start his performance, as if he was cursing him with darkness. As the white contestant started performing, he seemed challenging his adversary in anger and the excitement rose amongst the black audience, who responded by applauding and moving w
ith his words.
I chose to put in my collage chips of different hues of black and grey for the stage and the dark audience, with some white stripes symbolizing the dim light in the club, and in the middle, I put the Yin Yang symbol with one dark and one light facet symbolizing the conflict between the white and dark contestants or between evil and good, that shows in the scene, and I thought this would be an ideal symbolization to the conflict between evil and good since each of them has ups and downs in life, as it appears in the symbol where each side has a swollen side and a tightened side while the other nature (Yin/Yang) is always in its complementary status (so when good is up, evil is down and vice versa). In addition, I chose not to represent the Yin and Yang in strictly White and Black colors, since the contestants aren't necessarily representing Perfect Good and Evil, but are both human beings whose both nature holds a different mixture of each but with a prevailing percentage of one. Finally, I topped the Yin Yang sign with a red musical symbol, to point to the musical nature of the “red” challenge between them.
