8 Films That Are Worth Watching For The Cinematography Alone

4) Suicide Squad

No, the film is not out yet, and I know that. But based off of the trailer alone, I absolutely love what David Ayer and co. are bringing to the table with it. From the trailer alone I could tell he knew what he was doing filming this movie.

Much like Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction, it’s apparently clear that he’s making primary colors pop on screen, while the muted colors such as black, grey, and white, stay muted. It helps draw your eyes and attention to the important things, the things with color in them.

3) Saving Private Ryan

We can go all night long about this, but I’ll just make it short: this is the best war film ever made. It captures the sadness and fear of a disastrous event such as war unlike any other film has. And to compliment this, it’s also beautiful movie.

In an interesting turn of events, unlike some of the other films mentioned on this list and how they saturate primary colors, Saving Private Ryan seems like it has a light sepia filter over it. It works perfectly for the story though, as it makes the film even seem older than it is.
