Film is an art form with "seeing" as the main and "listening" as a supplement.
In film creation, color is considered to be the most infectious element of visual expression. The selection and modulation of each color is an expression of emotion.
Released in 1935, the release of "Fancy World", the world's first color film entered the public eye. Color, also truly as an element, represents a style, entering the world of the screen.
In 2020, the martial arts movie "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou set off a visual storm in the film industry, and the discussion about it has never stopped.
Today, looking back on this film, it is only a rare visual feast for top actors such as Jet Li, Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung, Chen Daoming, Zhang Ziyi and Donnie Yen.
And "Hero" uses color to narrate, which is the deepest memory left to myself. Large areas of monochromatic colors, symbolic symbols, strong visual impact, paranoid colors, and ingenious designs where different colors metaphorize the fate of different characters are shocking to this day.
【1】Black Real World
Black: Chilling, solemn, gloomy.
The beginning and end of the film are dominated by black. This is the best interpretation of the real history of the people of Qin, and it also reflects the majesty of the King of Qin, the invincibility of the Qin army, and the ruthlessness and emptiness of the ministers.
【2】Red · Anonymous story
Red (warm tones): Violence, hatred, despair, killing.
Red is a nameless lie, it is the persistence of the old man in the library, it is the breaking of love and hatred between Can Jian and Feixue, and it is Ruyue's boiling loyalty to the master.
[3] The story speculated by the blue king of Qin
Blue (Cool Tone): Serene, deep, deep.
This is the objective, calm rationality of a generation of domineering monarchs. It is his confidence that he knows everything and controls the situation. Comparing his current self-confidence with the real story, it further highlights the greatness of the knight's family and country in the rivers and lakes.
【4】White · True Story
White (neutral): Authentic, clean, and eclectic.
White is the simplest color and the most inclusive color. This is also in the true story. Can Jian and Feixue have the purest feelings for family and country, and the deepest realm of feelings that are not stained with dust.
【5】Green · clever series
Green (cool tone): calm, light, healing, hope.
It is the spiritual connotation of Canjian's "enlightenment of the world", the hope brought by the green curtain when he assassinated the King of Qin, and the poetic ideal of Canjian Feixue's love for the landscape.
Different colors give people different sensory experiences, connecting this magnificent epic in my heart.
Different colors also symbolize different thinking dimensions, guiding everyone to explore the mysteries.
