An element of lighting that I’m really keen of Alcott’s is that of a leaking glow of light from the background, which lights the lining of characters faces.
The lighting is not just visually attractive but also very symbolic, almost a metaphor to the slogan “every cloud has a silver lining”. In keeping with the story of Alex in “A Clockwork Orange” as well as in the film “Barry Lyndon”.
Every cloud has a silver lining Idiom
ReplyDelete"Don't be unhappy that your boyfriend broke up with you - every cloud has a silver lining". What does this idiom mean?
Meaning:
Every cloud has a silver lining means that you should never feel hopeless because difficult times always lead to better days. Difficult times are like dark clouds that pass overhead and block the sun.
Why?
When we look more closely at the edges of every cloud we can see the sun shining there like a silver lining.
Example:
'I found a new job after losing my last one and I like this one more. You see, every cloud does have a silver lining.'
