Ok but I really love how the LOTR films use colors/costume design to show Denethor’s power over the other characters
Like: every character in LOTR has their own set of Characteristic Colors™. Denethor’s Characteristic Colors™ are desaturated black and grey:
.
These aren’t necessarily Gondor’s colors (I’ll get to that in a minute) but they’re definitely his. In The Two Towers’ flashback scene, Gondor’s soldiers are dressed in Denethor’s black/grey, including Boromir:
But when Boromir leaves Gondor– and is free from needing to carefully Perform in front of his father– he starts wearing his own Characteristic Colors™ instead. These colors are royal red, gold and blue:
(Literally wearing your true colors)
Meanwhile Faramir, unlike Boromir, doesn’t wear Denethor’s colors in the flashback. He wears his own Characteristic Colors™, which are brown/green, bc Faramir does not do what Denethor wants him to do…
….until ROTK, when Faramir surrenders to his father’s will and exchanges his characteristic brown/green armor for black/grey armor. It’s like his identity is stripped away
Similarly, Pippin’s Characteristic Colors™ are blue/green:
But when he enters Denethor’s service:
No individual expression allowed
“But black and grey with no accents are Gondor’s colors–” Nahhh I don’t buy Denethor’s anti-color propaganda. When Aragorn replaces Denethor, the first thing he brings back is colorful fashion
Aragorn doesn’t wear black and grey, like Denethor did. He wears things that merge the black/white of Gondor with the sort of royal red/blue/gold of Boromir’s characteristic colors
And so at last the tyranny of Denethor’s drab fashion sense was ended
#firstly the lotr art directors knew what the FUCK they were doing#and secondly you think for a second that aragorn son of arathorn would be caught dead in some ugly ass drab grey#even his rugged ranger outfit had tasteful splashes of colour#the man was raised by elves is all im saying
“'Your Wheezy, sir, your Wheezy – Wheezy who is giving Dobby his sweater!’ “What?” Harry gasped. ‘They’ve got… they’ve got Ron?’ ‘The thing Harry Potter will miss most, sir!’”
yknow i saw an article that was like “robert pattinson standing strong against the batman hate! :)” and im like. you fools. you absolute clowns. don’t you know who you’re dealing with? you realize this is the man who waded through all of the twilight hate? with stride? basically brushed it off of his shoulder immediately? even as a non twilight fan in the early 2000s i knew this man would never succumb to the words of the simple minded. batman criticism means nothing to him. he cannot be defeated now. youve cast the perfect impermeable wall. he’s too powerful and we’re at his mercy
