Review of The Neon Demon (2016) by Pat S — 23 Jan 2019
A very cool movie with some scary (but unsurprising) themes, ie the depths girls will sink to to achieve outer beauty (at the cost of inner beauty?) and the depths girls will sink to in re to competition within the model world.
The acting is really good from all parties involved (even Keanu Reeves does a great job playing a disgusting landlord). The best part of the movie was the visual experience: the bright (and dark) neon colours.
It was great to see red being used as a warning sign and blue being used to signify cool. Hence every scene Jesse is in they use red. I'm not sure what the triangles mean... may be Jesse's deep dive into narcissism? This is a very good movie that has tons of hidden symbology (ie how the movie starts with Jesse's eye and basically ends with that.
.. the eye signifying Jesse's existence). This is a fun movie.
