      Three Colors: Red--Love And Art Films

      The slow narrative structure of the first. Frenchis still profound. He is not in a hurry to highlight all the contradictions and conflicts immediately, but just tells you a little bit, what is the situation and what is the reason. At the beginning, it was really not in the state, and I didn't understand anything. Just know that a man and a woman are both on the phone. Maybe they are a couple but can't see...

      Visual Communiation

      Toward the end of the movie, a huge picture of the ad with a beautiful girl wearing red and blowing a bubble gun is so impressive. Everything is red in that photo except the girl's dark hair and her rather sad big eyes. It is shot in Geneva. It is dark and dreary. And it is windy. Eventually, the ad was blew away by strong wind when a young guy drove passed it and he saw this ad. He smiled. He must be touched somehow by a huge red image falling down. The strong reddish hue is so contrasting the...

      Associated blue, white, red

      To quote someone else: "The trembling old lady in 'Blue' can't reach the recycling bin and can't put glass bottles in it. The heroine sees it, but turns a blind eye; the hero in 'White' also Seeing it, can only show sympathy: Valentina saw it, and without hesitation, went up to help her put the bottle into the recycling bin. After a series of portraits of life full of broken and alienated feelings, Chie Slovsky finally expressed his affirmation and hope for love. Loving others is like loving...

      Are you lonely or too loving




      "The closest thing to humanity is fraternity, and we can be fraternity, because we always show generosity in our eyes." The

      old judge said: don't go yet, and bright light will shine in later.
        
      So a light shot from the sky to the ancient window sill, entered the room, disappeared in a blink of an eye, and disappeared in a corner.
      Everything is as quiet as a painting.

      Have you ever seen such a bright light?
      The surroundings were dim, and...

      As a sublimated work, the director no longer sticks to a complete narrative, but examines the meaning of life and existence from "God's perspective", the grim shots sway selectively in the realistic scenes, and the disorderly dialogue strips away the meaning of existence. Nothingness and the hardships of life, the light shines beyond time, the metaphor falls like fallen leaves, as if all poetic sacrifices are to be sacrificed, the angels do not need to be judged, the red can be blessed, and the...

      Red is the finale and prelude of the tricolor. Light, music, narrative language are full of charm of detail. Kieslowski, I finally understand why I love him, he is shooting the aesthetics of light and shadow, he is shooting the philosophy of fate, he is shooting the flow of human nature, he is shooting the reincarnation of the world. He is writing the disordered order of the ashes of time with the wisdom of life. The light of inspiration for "For The...

      The red is the most intense, and it is also the one with the most intensive use of Kieslowski's colors and the richest symbolic meaning in the blue-white-red trilogy. The plot is intricate like an inextricable wire, but what can be explored is entirely the dark thread in the wall, peeking into the trend of human behavior, and observing the human will from the perspective of empathy and even non-human beings. And every individual is hidden in the torrent of emotions, and they meet unexpectedly...

      My favorite of the trilogy. In Lao Ji's films, it is difficult to find a plot climax in the traditional sense, and the main body of the film becomes a display of the echoes of extremely accidental and seemingly fatal...

      Watch the big director's trilogy backwards. The red in the movie is so beautifully shot. Irène is a French angel comparable to Adjani. The poster shot in front of the red curtain is amazing. The story is a little suspenseful and a little complicated. Heart-to-heart exchange with retired judges. The shipwreck survived and regained happiness. The piano soundtrack is...

    "Trois couleurs: Rouge" is a masterpiece of skill. Although the film does not have a strong emotional color, but it shows Trintignant's brilliant performance with confidence. As a well-designed film that describes the accidental occurrence of things, "Trois couleurs: Rouge" uses fraternity as the theme, expressing the desire to be paid attention to even the loneliest life. The film is a fairy tale for adults, a romantic history...
