The Symbolism Of The Color Red In The Movie
In the movie The Village it had a bunch of different symbols through out the whole movie but the main one was the color red. In the beginning it showed two girls dancing and sweeping and just having fun while doing both at the same time, but one of them suddenly stopped because of what she saw, it was a little bush of red berries or maybe a red flower but she and the other girl rushed over there and pulled it out of the ground and buried it then went back to sweeping. The little village that was living in the plain thought that red was a bad and dangerous color and they didn't need that color around the little village. After a while a bunch of kids were around a small animal with it neck twisted and fur all shaved off with some blood on it
