Story: The Color of Time is based on Pulitzer prize-winning poet CK Williams' collection of the same name. The film blends together adaptations of 11 of the poems to create a poetic road trip through CK William's life. The film takes us on a journey through several decades of American life from CK's childhood and adolescence in Detroit in the 1940s and 50s to the early 1980s: CK and his wife Catherine are married with their son Jed. CK prepares for a reading of 'Tar' in New York City, and spends his nights struggling to write new poems, haunted by memories of his past. As CK drives to his reading in New York City, he remembers central moments of his life: we come to experience and understand both his relationship to love and loss, and how he found his calling as a poet through the women in his life. The film takes us back and forth between past and present, punctuated by voice-over from CK Williams' poems, recreating the experience of memory and exploring how the fragments of one's man life

 As CK drives to his reading in New York City, he remembers central moments of his life: we come to experience and understand both his relationship to love and loss, and how he found his calling as a poet through the women in his life.
The film takes us back and forth between past and present beautifully, punctuated by voice-over from CK Williams' poems narrating by James Franco, recreating the experience of memory and exploring how the fragments of one's man life can be turned into poetic expression: his loving relationship to his mother, his first sexual experiences as a teenager, his first love and the struggle to preserve a form of innocence and wonder, the illness and loss of a close friend, and finally his life together with Catherine. This film is just beautiful told like this but it not going to be a film for everyone, special if you don't understand the beauty of poetry the emotions it can bring out in people when its of someones life story, it paints a very big picture of someone life without all the messing violent & effects that drama film put across some time, this is a breath of fresh air to portray a man life in a different way.

Dislikes : The only problem with this film is if you don't understand it you wont get it, this film is a little slow in pace.

Overall : Beautiful, emotional heart felt story through poetry of a mans life, very underrated.

Rating: 4.3 out of 5 for entertainment / 7.6 out of 10 for story through poetry
