Character Evaluation
Darren Aronofsky is not only a representative of the director who shoots high-quality films with low cost, but also a model of maintaining a distinctive style in Hollywood while creating commercial value. His philosophical thinking is embedded in the discussion of the world, love, and self-recognition. .
Darren Aronofsky is good at presenting people's inner emotional experience and psychological state through images, so that the audience can resonate in the protagonist's sorrows and joys
. His films have always been permeated with a tragic feeling that makes people feel heavy and depressing, and they also have a temperament that surpasses mainstream commercial films and is irresistible
. At the same time, his strong display of men in movies also makes it easy to ignore his attention to women's character and destiny .
Darren Aronofsky made a perfect annotation for the spirit of independent film with his powerful works. He has mixed paranoid fantasy and cruel reality in the extreme experience of life. He pays attention to the dark side and fear of human nature with a sharp and independent spirit, confronts the desire for fear in a surly presentation, and enters the opposition with anxious infatuation. Investigation of the human spiritual world. The source of pain in his story is not evil in the classic sense, but an extreme state of life to prove the existence of life. He pays more attention to how the protagonist completes his life's journey, and shows the mental state during it-the double torment of the protagonist's body and spirit, loneliness and disillusionment, death and rebirth by indulge and pain. His dark side of humanity and provocative film world discourages reserved and conservative audiences, and also makes many decent people who occupy the commanding heights of morals sneer .
Darren Aronofsky’s independent film mixes extremely paranoid fantasy and exceptionally cruel reality in the extreme experience of life. He uses his unique and keen perspective to analyze the obscurity and shrinking under the human appearance, and his special feelings for panic shows the human soul. Exploring the depths. He extended his connotation to a broader level with his moving works. Within the scope of the system, he still holds a position opposed to the system itself, and firmly adheres to his beliefs. The power of the tension picture in his film comes from the indulging in the main theme of the art, the overloaded body, and the soul falling into it. Highly disturbed break the taboo pleasure and Dostoyevsky's confession to oneself. He refused to change his original intention in order to cater to the tastes of most people, and created a more impactful sensory world and a more moving sense of sadness for the audience to cater to the traditional shackles of the audience and desire to break the taboo .
Darren Aronofsky's dark temperament is in sharp contrast with his own sunny character. His works are full of elements of neuroticism, darkness, weirdness and horror
. Although he has few works of Russian descent, he is as arrogant as a systemic Russia in art
. In addition, his attention to society is concealed in his strong personal style, slightly crafty, psychedelic and curious lens language, but this does not mean that he has nothing to do with the bottom narrative. His films are often full of illusory colors and strong individualistic styles, which are changeable in form and content. Through his weird and gloomy lens language, his narration is always affected by reality, especially at the bottom. Inspiration from the unbearable side of life. He describes the embarrassment, inner anxiety, and efforts made to escape from the status quo of life of the bottom people in a seemingly impartial and non-judgmental narrative, and leaves room for in-depth thinking to the audience .
