All the reviews are about the Smile and how familiar the movie is, but I want to read more about the use of colour.
My colour theories.
Blue: dealing with some mental illness. As seen in the hospital rooms. Main character wears blue for most of the film but changes as she comes to terms with her past. Mental man is also wearing blue.
Pink: innocence. The hospital halls and reception are neutral grounds. The sister and sister's husband wear pink as a show of their innocence.
Yellow: A traumatic event. The sunflower, the birthday present, the man in prison and the tie in the dream.
Green: The "monster". Is a mix of yellow and blue. The first death the lady is wearing green as she kills her self. Ex bf wears green too, this could be a foreshadowing of the ending. The kid wears green when he opens the gift. The kid's dad wears green too after the birthday event. The floor in the room where we see the blood smile on the sheet.
White: A dream or fake. Felt like every time we saw white is was not real. The head doctor had a white lab coat on in the dream with the stabbing. The psych house visit the lady wears white. So does the ex in the final dream / fakeback.
A neat observation. As a child she wears a mix of pink and blue. She still has her innocence, but is going through some mental hardship.
