Still from 'The Illusionist'
This movie looks stunning. Each still image I've seen from this movie looks as though it could be hung on the wall. I love the gritty atmosphere and muted tones of color (of the entire movie, not just this image). It is a great contrast to something like say, The Princess and the Frog, which uses very bright flat areas of color. The colours are very suited for a grey Great Britain setting, and I think they did a great job of capturing the feeling of the architecture, towns and country side. This image in particular makes me feel like a part of the action. The bright middle surrounds the train, giving it focus. The direction of the man coming out of the telephone booth, along with the shape of the roof of the building, and the smoke coming from the engine, all create a sense of movement. It's very engaging.
