I was curious about other films in this genre that also explore themes of loneliness and isolation, and I remembered one really good movie that I watched this year called The Way He Looks. It is a Brazilian coming-of-age foreign film about a boy who feels very alienated from his peers due to his disability- he's blind. Through several turning point experiences, he finds a way to accept himself and to even find a boyfriend.
This film is most notable, I think, for the storytelling and use of motifs and color scheme. The color scheme used in this movie included many very warm, dark colors like blue, black and green. It perfectly conveyed the tone of the film, the poignancy and also the dull world that the main character experiences due to his lack of eyesight.
In our film Droid, I would also like to incorporate meaning behind the color scheme. Mac will be decked out in grey and blacks, dull and awkward in a large, colorful and confusing world, and Dell's outfit will be full of bright colors, conveying a vibrancy and excitement into her character.
