blue/gold is the color palette for 90% of all Hollywood films. Finding it in this one is nothing special, and someone who is such a super-special visual language snowflake should maybe realize that?
Isn't the point about blue/grey and where it's used? If Mako's hair hadn't been blue, and instead it was a big piece of Raleigh's clothing, then, yes, there's as much blue as the movie would normally have, but less message. Del Toro seems welcome to correlate.
There is a lot of shit that was shown in the movie that didn't get dialogue. The images under the opening dialogues alone could do with exploration, but I like that they didn't, because just because the robot/monster punch movie has underpinnings doesn't mean the punching shouldn't start sooner rather than later.

I'm happy to day I haven't seen any of these 50 movies. Most of them I don't even remember when they came out.
I remember probably 85% of them, but I've only seen a few.
I've seen 18 of them, so I'm batting about .360. I'd highly recommend
The Shadow
and
My Fellow Americans,
though most of the rest are take-it-or-leave-it movies.
I liked Medicine Man. I own it and would rewatch it if I still have a VHS machine.
Who was The Girl in
The Shadow?
Penelope two-other-names something? She
sucked,
brutally. But I loved Alec Baldwin, and loved the entire look of the thing, and pretty much loved everything about it except her. Her big-ball-of-wretch in an otherwise fantastic movie is really only surpassed by Jim Carrey in
A Series of Unfortunate Events.
Someone ever invents a way to digitally erase a crap actor's face and voice and replace them with someone who actually would have done some honor to the part and the film, I'll be all over it just for those two movies.
Penelope two-other-names something?
Penelope Ann Wilson. They mock her further on in that list by saying, "Who let her carry a movie?" (re: The Handgun in Betty Lou's Bag)
She kept getting cast and kept being mediocre in so many 90s movies. I just came to presume that she had the most awesome blowjob skills in Hollywood.
Penelope Ann Wilson
Penelope Ann Miller.
I loved
The Shadow
but don't remember her being bad or anything.
Penelope Ann Miller.
Correct! Sorry.
but don't remember her being bad or anything.
No, she's almost competent in most things. She's not awful. She just adds nothing.
She wasn't bad in
The Artist,
but then she mostly just had to play exasperated.
