I enjoy this movie a lot, and thought I knew most of the fun tidbits - when Reed points out that the soundtrack was designed as a counterpoint to the action on the screen:
> For example, in the cat scene, I asked Karas to play a few sort of walking notes while the cat crossed the street and then, as it looked at Harry’s shoe, ascending chords, which break into “The Third Man Theme” when it finally sees Harry and we hold on the cat’s little face.
It really intrigued me, makes me want to rewatch the movie to listen for things like that!
I lightly chuckled. I chuckled more when there were two typos in as many sentences; "Goole Chrome browsers" and "said that the extension with "help expose"".
Yea, I agree the coloring they present in what I linked is quite... ugly. But what I was trying to get at is that it does seem that, at that point, the Greeks could distinguish between the color of wine and the color blue. And that therefore Homer's "wine-dark" is in reference to something other than color.
(I had seen that video before, it's very enlightening.)
