Okay, totally forgot to do the review for the movie, but I’ve been thinking about it a lot. The movie, not the review part…
But yes, I LOVED that movie! The way it was filmed was pretty cool. What with all those intensely bold colors making crazy angles while somebody talked directly to the camera (usually looking down), such a cool effect. It made the movie itself very bold and action packed. And almost reminded me of a comic book style (in essence, not so literally square frames around a flying superhero). And all the yelling, at times it made me cringe, but I feel like the colors, and loud noises captured a feeling of a certain aspect of the culture (probably the noisy brightly colored one)
I really enjoy how the entire movie emulated the heat of that one day, starting from the beginning with the description by the radio host, it then showed every bead of sweat on each person’s face. And the bright sun, sometimes with heat waves rippling actual images. If the movie could just be turned into an infrared reading based on color, it would start of as a neutral brown, not cold, but you don’t feel the heat yet. It would very soon turn to a reddish orange, still dull, but a minor nuisance. Once Mookie steps outside though, it turns to a bright red, and will stay that way for most of the time the plot takes place outside. Some notable cooler points would be when people try to cool themselves off, and indoor scenes. Although it is hot in the pizzeria, it is a darker cooler environment to the viewer, so the mood cools down to a brown again. When Mother Sister is in her window, that small frame is also seen as a cooler place. And the corner store run by Korean people might even be seen as a middle-tone blue, not hot, but definitely not cold, just cool. At the point where the fire hydrant is opened, the mood becomes a cool blue, everyone is happy and comfortable, also when “The Mayor” gets his cold been, I see that a pure black. Quite possibly one of the most comforting scenes of the movie, relieving the viewer of the strain the heat puts on the characters. Similar cooling objects are the similar beers other characters get, The ice used by Mookie in the scene with his girlfriend (another cooling scene) and the Italian ice a girl buys from the pizzeria. I also see the roses Mayor buys for Mother Sister as cool objects as well. As dusk approaches, the infrared color of the movie gets cooler, everyone starts relaxing. The scene in the pizzaria before the climax of the movie is the coolest scene, probably a dark blue. Everything is closing down and summing up to a happy ending, everyone is a family, until the “black power” characters appear in the shop, then the colors change very quickly, from blue, to brown, to dull red, to bright red. When the police come it becomes more intense, the boy is killed, and everything pauses- Everyone is yelling, but the colors seem to cool down again, almost to brown. Then when the window is broken, The color is orange, to yellow, and rapidly to white, the fire is both literally and figuratively the hottest part of the movie with the highest energy.
The next day might be just as hot, but the audience can no longer connect the same way with the characters, you almost have to separate yourself from them. So the color is just brown, maybe flickering to reds for a couple moments.
There is something i have to complain about, that probably everyone does actually, since it is upsetting. but those “black power” characters really bothered me. They were the types who stood up for something they didn’t even truly understand. They were radical without realizing what boundaries would have actually helped them. A kid lost his life because he couldn’t turn off his radio? It was unreasonable 
The racist pizza guy was equal in unreasonable-ness I must say… I know the whole point was that the ignorance was supposed to frustrate you, and I think it definitely did that.
