My memory of black-and-white movies remains in "Rear Window" I watched a few years ago. In my impression, this picture is psychedelic and dark, which is frightening. Before entering Yasujiro Ozu's film, I was a little uneasy and wondered how the minimalist colors could match the rich life. The advancing shots became attractive. I originally liked the characters and life in slow motion. In fact, there is no aesthetic feeling, but I have seen too many fast food legends, and the slow-paced real life unconsciously makes people feel nostalgic. It is full of poetry. Seeing people's lives in a movie is perhaps the most down-to-earth way of life. Ordinary people who are not legendary, there is no heart-piercing grief, nor are they smiling, and the most serious life and death experiences can be easily talked about at the dinner table and by the pillow. This is not attractive, indeed two simple colors of black and white are enough to express. I always want to add too much color to life. When visual inertia is formed, I see the original monotony. I feel that it is too bland, and it is really meaningless. I am convinced that life is not true. The original appearance of life after washing away legends and humiliation. Sometimes I think it's boring because the days are repetitive and tasteless, but it's interesting to think that there are a group of people in this world who also feel that life is meaningless but still live an ordinary life.
