Re: "High and Low" a wonderful Kurosawa masterpiece

What did you think of the use of colored smoke in this B&W film? I was surprised, thinking it would be unnecessary with a statement like "look, there it is." But then the idea grew on me, and I thought it served to divide the film into its two very different halves. Spielberg tried this device in "Shindler's List" (isolating the little girl in color from the rest of the people in B&W) and it felt quite contrived.
