For some, black and white has a timelessness that color can\u2019t quite capture. But for others, black and white \u201cjust isn\u2019t for them.\u201d And that\u2019s fine. We can all agree that the world would be a dull place if we all liked the same junk. But it\u2019s worth underlining that, in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>, folks who dislike black and white rarely take issue with black and white itself, which is to say, as an aesthetic, narrative, and cinematographic tool. Usually, when your pal says they don\u2019t want to watch \u201csomething black and white\u201d they\u2019re using \u201cblack and white\u201d as a shorthand for \u201csomething old.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not liking \u201cold movies\u201d is one thing. Being critical of black and white as a cinematic lens is something else entirely. On the whole, there are far more gushing, borderline-fetishistic essays in support of the narrative power of black and white than there are devil\u2019s advocates. I should know, I am one of the gushing fetishists. This imbalance makes the following two video essays from <strong>Now You See It <\/strong>a fascinating double bill. The first video outlines how the technical boons of black and white support the narrative tropes of film noir. The second video suggests that there is something suspiciously simplistic about the use of black and white to denote good and evil.<\/p>\n<p><span>You can watch <\/span><strong>\u201cFilm Noir: The Case for Black and White<\/strong><span>\u201d\u00a0here:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LppctxCYBzM?feature=oembed\" title=\"Film Noir: The Case for Black and White\" width=\"700\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span>And you can watch <\/span><strong>\u201cThe Case Against Black and White Movies<\/strong><span>\u201d\u00a0here:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mNeJ8pZa_B8?feature=oembed\" title=\"The Case Against Black and White Movies\" width=\"700\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_made_this\"><\/span>Who made this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>These video essays come courtesy of <strong>Now You See It<\/strong>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a> channel dedicated to film analysis searching for meaning in unexpected places.
