A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Nope, not kidding. Clearly we disagree. It seems Mr. Cuarón's look for a good fantasy film was a washed-out blue.
That said, I still think PoA is still the best non-Columbus movie - I just enjoy the coziness of the first two. It's what Hogwarts felt like to me when reading the books, so I naturally like seeing that brought to screen.
yea same, the first two are whimsical which is completely in line with the vibe of the books they're based on. The third one is also very cool, and I think the rest are entirely forgettable
I call the first two "unoffical Christmas movies"
I mean, the themes of ‘PoA’ are somewhat more mature, so the noirish look was warranted. And from what I remember, it wasn't just a blue-and-orange palette, like in many modern films, but a pretty colorful one inside that noir feel.
Cuarón also doesn't do such palettes everywhere. ‘Y tu mamá también’ is very colorful, while the dystopian ‘Children of Men’ is accordingly subdued. So it was a choice appropriate to the events in the film, just like the installments later in the ‘HP’ series also get darker.
