Colorform or Conform

Colorms did a good speak about conforming to norms or even being proper.  The film begins with a girl playing with paint and making hand prints and even to the point where she paints her dog and even paints while on a bed and her upper-parents get very upset when they come home.  She then has a harpsichord lesson but she tries to enjoy the instrument, but the instructor won’t allow it.  He is trying to make her conform.  At dinner the parents act very civilized but then suddenly spaghetti flies at them and the camera reveals that the girl is very messy and eating like a barbarian.  So they call the grandpa to watch her teach her some manners.  They are trying to teach her to conform.  At dinner the next day she throws her napkin on her table she and her grandpa do a face off while the parents go off.  She starts making faces at the grandpa who ends up making faces back.  He then tells her to get her coat because they are going to attend a strict religious celebration.  They are celebrating the Indian holiday Pagwa.  They don’t conform to cleanliness.  People are coming up to the two and throwing colored powder in their faces.  Soon the two throw it in each other’s faces.  When they go back home, they get back into the positions that they were in and the parents left. Through that the parents believed that the girl learned something. 

The problems that arise are being yourself and not conforming.  She tries to be artistic and have fun while her parents won’t allow it. They use a punk song at the end which makes you remember to be yourself and you don’t always have to be proper.  That is because o\punk music is a symbol of rebellion.
