    Allows was made around fifteen years after the first technicolor films, the movie is still designed to have the audience notice its beautifully colored shots.

I am embarrassed at how happy I am, like some Technicolor comic of a teenage girl talking on the phone with my hair in a ponytail, the bubble above my head saying: I met a boy! But I did.
