Episode 2097 | Perception as Illusion: How Color Shapes Reality

Andrew, Kenzo, and Lay dive into the depths of the film Billy Budd and its powerful tension between illusion and reality. We explore how the film’s co-writers debated whether it should be shot in black-and-white or color—and what that choice reveals about storytelling, perception, and truth. Together, we break down the psychological differences between black-and-white and color films, examining how each shapes emotion, expectation, and the illusions we experience on screen. Through real-world examples and everyday perceptual cues, we highlight how visual style alters the way we understand a story. Join us for a conversation filled with insight, creativity, and a deep appreciation of how art shapes the way we see the world.
