A Study on the Meaning of Colors in Films: Taking Krzysztof Kieslowski’s The Blue, White, and Red Trilogy as an Example

Abstract

As an important element of cinematic art, color not only aids in storytelling but also shapes the visual style of a film and reflects its themes and emotions. This paper aims to explore the meaning of Kieslowski’s use of color by analyzing the color styles in the The Blue, White, and Red Trilogy and examining how the symbolic meanings of these colors are conveyed. This article is divided into three parts, which are a deep analysis of the color symbols and meanings in the three films Blue, White, and Red. The theoretical analysis and practical exploration of the deep value meanings of freedom, equality, and universal love represented by the colors in the three films are carried out.
