The colors in Hell Boy



The picture I made above shows the scene of the movie Hell Boy. A small golden thing is shown at the first sight, after which a white skin man appeared. I think the golden color here is a weapon and the white face stands for evil. Then the shot was turned to where four people were talking and the man who have red face is the most unforgettable one. I think the red color here represents loyalty. The evil white man opened the golden thing and let go a green been. The green been jumped into the sewer and grew into a giant monster immediately because of the water. The red-faced man tired hard to save a baby covered in blue clothes from being hurt by the green monster.As far as I'm concerned, the blue color means peace and harmony here,so the Hell Boy is fighting for the peace. When the red-faced man was fighting with the green monster,he climbed up onto the white letter lights. The monster broken the lights one by one ,but there're still one "H" light left,which can be seen as hope as well as hero so it won't be extinguished. After a short hesitation, the red-faced man beat the monster. To my surprise, the green dead monster became plants. In my view,the green color in this clip has two opposite meanings. The green monster stands for evil but when it changed into green plants,it means hope and a new start.

In my country,gold is for the king in the past, it means money and power. Red sometimes can stands for loyalty,for instance, there's a famous red-faced loyal person called Guan Gong in ancient times. White and green sometimes stand for evil,however they also have another meaning ,such as, white is for pure and justice,green is for hope.

Now I will talk about the ideas of making the picture above. The yellow round thing means the weapon held by the white evil man. Inside the yellow thing is the monster,I use dark green to hightlight its bad possition so that you can tell from other green colors in the picutre. They're the beginning of the clip. The red thing beside them is stands for the Hell Boy,its shape likes a hand trying to save the bule circle that stands for the baby and hope as well as harmony with a goldn gan. The red thing is also like a heart that can stress the Hell Boy's good standpoint. The white H under the red thing is the last light with a meaning of hope and hero. It suggest that the justice and rightness will win at last. At first,the background is a mix of dark colors which stands for various people who wear dark clothes in the night when the fight began. When the monster was beaten,green things spread out and changed the atmosphere into hope and peace. That's the story I tried to share with everyone through my picture.
