'Hamnet' Has A Tie-In To 'Eternals,' And Chloé Zhao Pointed It Out To Us
Nov 6, 2026
I love the role that color plays in this movie,
especially the color red.
I was wondering if you could just speak to the symbolism
and how it helped you tell the story.
Yes, archetypal.
Characters and symbols
and colours are really important in my storytelling.
So, this is the second time I have given
the main characters colours to the internals.
I did the same thing. So they wear throughout the whole film.
And for Will it's blue and for Agnes it's red.
Because blue is the upper chakra, so it's the intellect.
But the blue is the throat chakra and the third eye.
It's blue and sort of a light blue and turquoise and indigo.
And so that's where he is, you know, he's the sky.
And red is the color of the root chakra,
it's a color of, you know, the beating heart.
So it's much more in the body
and is the lava in the center of the earth as opposed to the
heavens and sky.
So they represent these two polarities.
