I really enjoy the fact that the movie was black and white. I am a sucker for a good black and white film because I feel that I have to work a little more to understand and enjoy the film. In film work today, directors will use color to try and show a particular message. In black and white film the director has to be a little more creative with how they are going to show an emotion or get a point across. With the absence of color I have to really pay attention and look for other clues as to what the director is trying to say to me.
Excellent post. I like your rationale as to why you like black and white films. They are beautiful.
