"There's always something happening in Rome, and that's when nothing happens," said Jep, the lead actor in the film. Even if the world is not refined and life is broken, people choose to embrace each other on the edge of despair. Everyone has a city of Rome in their hearts, and they are forever wandering in the city of Rome.
The film "City of Absolute Beauty" tells a series of stories that happened to tourists who visited the Roman domain. In the film, director Paulo Sorrentino explored issues such as art, words, life, and self, and conveyed the theme of the loneliness of life in a world where everyone is imprisoned and endured. There are writers, social word scholars, religious believers, and dancers in the movie. They are an organic part of society, and they are the viewers and residents of the city of Rome, but they all have a certain sense of the world. Seeing and thinking, in the world in the name of love, blooming the attitude of life self.
Music is the wings of the film. It often exists with the development of the plot in the film. It plays a role in rendering the atmosphere and hinting at the development of the plot. At the same time, it is also convenient for the audience to understand the inner world and feelings of the characters. At the beginning of the film, the director strikes the bell through the sound of cannons, paving the way for a sense of solemnity and dignity. The next shot is the band in the pavilion wearing black clothes singing in unison. The spirit of the city of Rome is conveyed through the grand and loud sound. E sang solo in the corner, which was organically separated from the chorus of the chorus. E's clear and beautiful voice was her heartfelt voice to the world, and the crowd felt the shock of the atmosphere and Rmn's inner desire to rush out The thought of tying silk laid the groundwork for her suicide. Musical sound is a way for the director to express himself, and it is also a clue to the fate of the characters in the film.
Color creation is the soul of the film. A perfect classic shot not only requires clear image quality, classic composition, but also color matching. In this scene after E's death, the director set the scene at E's house, where jep is wearing a black suit, and so is E's husband, conveying repressed emotions with black clothes. Two men are sitting at a table with a red vase between them, representing E. Through the use of partial side light, Jep's face has a lot of sunlight, creating a painful and depressing emotional light in Jep's heart. The red flower is the color of E's inner publicity. By contrasting the white background, the black clothing and the red flowers, the sadness and heaviness brought to the two men after E's death is contrasted. The men left the room and went outside, the director borrowed the rain to deepen their sadness, and the use of gray tones allowed the audience to get emotional resonance.
In the film, jep often walks alone in the streets of Rome, late at night, or in the afternoon. In him, the audience can feel his fragility, emptiness, confusion, loneliness and thinking about life. Jep is not only a spectator in Rome, he is outside the railings and above the iron net, but he is also outside of himself, showing the truth of the loneliness of life "after being drunk with money, endless loneliness".
There is a city of Rome in everyone's heart, and new things are happening all the time. But there is nothing because something happened." The director borrowed the film and said to the audience that he should accompany each other on the edge of despair outside the body and live the absurdity of life together.
