The image of the hallway with the red curtains, first off, I find absolutely gorgeous. It is telling of the story, the love, which grows between the two main characters. The red curtains speak of the passion of the main characters primarily. This is filmic language as the scene is vacant yet obtrusive to the audience, it speaks of the contradictions, which inhibit on the love of our admirers in this film. They are obviously filled with love and admiration of one another and truly care deeply for one another, however they cannot accept it, or face it, for their current prospects in life refuse to allow for their action, whether it be socially or faithfully.
The first image of the two walking down a dark street also speaks volumes towards their hidden love, which will slowly diffuse into the shadows as their characters do in this image. It also speaks to the lingering of hidden emotions amongst their peers as they continually sneak about to avoid any social repercussions. The difficulty of their lives build a wall, which they broke want to break, but can’t for their obligations.
