Red versus blue in movies. A common method used in screenplays to key the audience into who represents the forces of good and who represents the forces of evil is to mark the characters with the color red or blue. This is often done by means of a glow or aura cast by the characters or somehow incorporated into thier belongings. Blue typicaly denotes good while red denotes evil or malice in films. occasionaly other colors are used to replace or suppliment the red/blue glow such as black and white, wich is used in the Harry Potter (film series) when the evil and good wizards fly about like glowing comets.

examples

• Star wars the good Obi-wan Kenobe brandished a blue lightsabre while the evil Darth Vader wielded a red one. In later films the good jedi also could carry green lightsabres.
• The last dragon the antagonist Sho'nuff produced a red aura, while the innocent hero Leroy glowed white.
• I, Robot (film) The renegade robots produced an internal red light while the robots still protective of humans glowed blue.
• Hellboy II: The Golden Army The magical machines created to destroy mankind glowed red. however the one that was possesed by one of the hero characters glowed blue.
