I think it's because colours really show emotions and give films more character, I just find it more interesting.

It was probably the better choice than making this in colour,... read more

Like many other movies directed by the Coen brothers, I have actually seen this one when it came out.

Description:
1949, Santa Rosa, California. A laconic, chain-smoking barber with fallen arches tells a story of a man trying to escape a humdrum life.

"First Watched 2/17/2018 This film has some solid performances but I think there was a bit of a mis step in Billy Bob Thornton's not that he played it badly but his character's motivations seemed to be nonexistent maybe that was the intention but I personally thought this was the wrong choice. I mean yes in other Coen Brother's pictures we have seen characters that seem to just let the story and characters flow around them and they react to it. The best example I can think of is The Dude from "
