The story contradiction of Kurosawa Akira's "Ran" depicts the contradiction between cruelty and beauty. The brutality of the war continues, and the good has been destroyed. Father and son are not like father and son, husband and wife are not like husband and wife, brother is not like brother~
The contradiction between rights and family affection: the contradiction between father and Taro Jiro Saburo; the contradiction between Taro and Jiro; the contradiction between Jiro and Saburo. (Contradiction between behavior and words, Saburo likes to tell the truth and offend his father, but when his father was dozing off, only Saburo silently chopped off the branches next to him with a sharp weapon in order to protect his father from the scorching sun)
Conflict between families: family conflict between Taro's wife Mrs. Kaede and Taro's father; family conflict between Jiro's wife and Jiro's father.
Contradictions of Desires: Contradictions between Jiro and Mrs. Kaede; Contradictions between Jiro and Taro
mise-en-scene
Dispatch of the scene: The shots are mostly long-range and long shots; the scenes are highlighted, the personal fate is weakened, and an epic tragic atmosphere is rendered, and the side shows the objective and indifferent perspective of the god-like camera lens, which is not worthy of sympathy.
Lens language: Medium and close shots can trigger our concern and worry, as well as our anger and fear. The use of a large number of long-range pictures in the film makes us ignore such a person's emotions.
Clothing color meaning
Blue Saburo: Freedom, beauty and purity are the same as the sea; the pattern is the same as that of his father, which means that he will not rebel against his father.
The red Jiro: represents desire and impulse; the clothing pattern is inconsistent with Saburo's father, which means that the heart is not on the same path.
Yellow Taro: It means that he will become the successor, but there is no pattern in the clothes, and even if he becomes a king, he will not be able to stand it~
