In the movie Inside Out from Pixar, Riley has a rainbow striped shirt at the beginning (showing the colors of all the emotions). Later she wears striped t-shirt hidden under a yellow hoodie (which is the color of Joy, probably meaning that she hides behind the mask of happiness), and at the end she wears black when she is separated from her feelings.

[@faaaaah]

[@hmulford3851]

@@creatorzp It was 100% intentional. That movie plays a lot with color theory in relation to emotions. Hell, each of the main characters in that movie ARE certain colors and they are the literal physical embodiment of emotions. The beginning of the movie is where there is the most activity between ALL of the emotions working together so it makes sense that she's wearing a rainbow shirt, the ending of the first act (before Joy and Sadness go missing) is where the movies focuses most on Joy's toxic controlling of the other motions hence the yellow jacket over the rainbow shirt, and the all black outfit near the end of the movie is inline with the way all her emotions and previous interests are breaking away as she attempts to run away.

I think your interpretation of the "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" was a bit of a miss/stretch. The kid of the camp commander simply hadn't seen anyone in a prison uniform before so he assumed they were pjs. This assumption is based on his childish naiveté, his privilege and his impartiality towards the jewish kid. That's what the movie is plays on, not on our "society's multiple interpretations of the stripe".

[@mallaidhdevlin4512]

uh tbf he didn't mention anything about the uniform being associated with prison uniforms in this context but yeah I see what youre saying. it's also a very american-centric view of the story considering the rest of the world does not necessarily associate stripes with prison and the story 1. isn't set in america. and 2. isn't american straight up (irish book, english film).

[@breakfast_burrito2405]

@@mallaidhdevlin4512 It IS a prison (extermination camp) uniform, which serves the same purpose as a prison uniform. So that's correct. The problem is that the whole point of the movie is that the commander's kid doesn't KNOW that and just sees the jewish kid as who he is - an innocent kid. But yeah, American-centric for sure, because perhaps the knowledge of the holocaust is not necessarily there.

[@paulinetrivago.7540]

I understand your reasoning, but I think it oh helps his point more, we, the audience know that the striped "pajamas" know he's a prisoner of war, however, our protagonist, the other kid who comes from privilege, doesn't know that and simply sees them as pajamas, which yes, comes from the inherent naivety of a privileged child, but also speaks on the multiple meanings of stripes

[@JKCWvids]

just one correction; the stripes of the barber shop pole has nothing to do with making it stand out. theres a long history going back when barbers use to be dentists too and red came from the bloody cloth they wrap around a pole, to tell people they do dentistry here. So it is a form of advertisement, but not because its a striking look.

German expressionism is all about visual distortion and anxiety, as a reaction to the horrors of world war one and the awful state Germany was in. That aesthetic became part of the foundation for American black and white horror movies when Germans fled to the US and took their style with them.

Stripes relate to primal survival in a way other patterns don't: claw marks.

"what stripes mean" would be a better title since movies don't play that big of a part in this video. Its mostly stripes in general. I mean almost all of your points apply to real life. Doesnt have to be a movie costume to work.

[@BedEmam]

One character that I remembered when watchin' the video and that I believe matches completely with the relation "stripes x deviance" is Esmeralda in Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame. Her corset is bright colored and striped and now, seeing your video, this pattern totally makes sense since she's a gypsy, an outcast inside the french society, and is view as a demonic witch by the desire-driven Frollo. Also she has a playful nature, walking around with her goat Djali and making magic tricks to entertain and wonder citizens (and some enemies) and is an unique, rebellious and free individual that fights for justice and don't follow society' rules. All the striped character package XD. Amazing channel!

[@annagerman2685]

Great video! Thank you! It got me thinking about how common stripe pattern from blinds is in film noir and neo noir, it thought it might symbolize the dual nature of many of the characters common in those movies, because they have both light and darkness in them (the detective is often both the "good guy" we root for and the gritty tough outcast)... and also, like you said, they are often rebellious and devious characters in those movies...

[@ChrisDixon__]

As you quoted in your script about the IBM logo design, "Stripes attract attention." Adding to what you explained on the topic of fashion, I've learned that this applies when designing pieces with figure & silhouette purposes in mind. For example, some women may choose a striped top to bring more shape/curvature into the chest area while keeping things subtle. Some women find them figure flattering some don't. Of course, not saying every woman that wears a striped shirt does this with this mission in mind, but those that are aware of how certain patterns enhance and reduce may do. I think this was also one of the motivations behind having Juno wear stripes as it helped accentuate her belly in every shot once she started showing. When focusing on making the subject's frame stand out, this is also used with leggings (depending on the pattern and width) and yoga pants -- the same illusion of adding more 'curvature and shape' happens when wearing a slim turtleneck. With this knowledge, it's a great way to be in control of and manipulate what does and doesn't give attention; same as being a cinematographer.

Sorry but Pastoureau is complete nonsense. Hundreds of medieval knights and cities had stripy coats of arms (Barcelona being probably the most famous). Sailors have been wearing stripes since, at least the 14th century as shown on medieval miniatures. Stripy outfits were all the rage in the 17th and 18th century and since the 19th century football teams commonly use stripy jerseys. The Dutch flag is striped since the 16th century... There are enough significant counter-examples to weaken any generalization about the stripe, you could make a more refined statistical point, but that would require actually counting the stuff which no one has been bothered to do so far.

From the video: "Starting in the 16th century stripes shifted from being strictly diabolic into tamer, eventually positive meanings". Not sure how it contradicts your point about stripes being all the rage in the 17th century and on

[@benjaminguilbert7885]

it contradicts the notion of cultural permanence of the association between stripes and mayhem. When you have the king of France wearing stripy costumes, it safe to assume that the trend has gone 100% mainstream. But, if there is a break, why would there be a resurgence? It looks to me as a bad case of historical compression.

STRIPES ARE THE MOST EXTREEEEMMMMMEEEEEE

[@ThatOneHandsomeGamer]

Wow this is one of the most well researched videos i've ever seen. Thank you for this

[@florbengorben7651]

The stripes on naval ships was much more common in WWI. They called it dazzle camouflage and was created by the British as an effective strategy to combat U-boats as although they could see the boat, they couldn't tell which way it was facing or how fast it was going because they couldn't distinguish features in the stripes. The enemy needed to know how fast the ship was going to be able to torpedo it effectively.

and I'm guessing radar is why it isn't used anymore?

[@florbengorben7651]

si6ck I assume so, unless someone else is out there to correct me
