. . . because I have not read the book and you have, but I must ask: in the book, was the girl in red described as standing out from her black and white surroundings? Because that's what Spielberg hits his viewers over the head with - or so it seems to me. He could have filmed the whole movie (or at least just the whole scene) in color, and gradually focused in on on the girl in red - to me, that would have been SO much more effective! But, no, he seemed to want to play the artiste at this point - to the detriment of the scene, because it gets viewers thinking about his "wonderful" technique, rather than what he's trying convey - at least IMHO.
