Once upon a time....

I believe tht story telling will remain a major and very important aspect in any society. Story telling for most is how the pass dwn certain "history" frm one generation to the other. In our case story telling is what we live off of for the first 10 yrs of our lives. For example everyone knows of Disney. This is because they hav created movies for children tht tell great stories while also entertaining. Bt there are also some stories within our life time tht disney has no created. The Wizard of Oz is a classic everyone (I hope) knows of. The most common story between the references between good and evil. In the movie, all the "evil" or bad scenes appeared in blk and white (such as Kansas). While the mystical world of Oz always appeared in color. This was one tactic used to help children distinguish the two. Also HW the composition was setup. To show good Rushdie states tht more simple geometric shapes were used. While evil was more complex n "twisty". I believe this is not true for ALL movies. For example in the movies star wars (in my opinion) everything about those movies are "simple". Bt rather WHT colors are used helps to distinguish. Evil is mainly dark colors like blk, and good are mainly whites.
