There has not been any other movie, in my opinion, that I have examined the color present as closely as in the film “The Professional”. The movie contains a plot that requires much description and detail which by the use of much colorful sequences throughout the entire film help tell the story to its entire complexity. Therefore in every scene different colors are used to give focus on the significant pieces of the film, ranging from the street light, clothes on the main characters, and even a plant. The movie contains a high impact of violence, action, blood, and even drama, that it is difficult to take time out and appreciate the amount of symbolism present in every color. The use of color in the clothes aids us to formulate the type of person that character is. Leon for example always wore black pants, jackets and glasses throughout the entire film that right away we know that his corrupt lifestyle of being a hit man goes hand in hand with his wardrobe.
