Somewhat similar to "Yellow Earth" photographed by Zhang Yimou
Lao Mouzi's composition is tricky, and the side escapes slantingly, netting people into the corners.
The composition of Laomouzi looks very similar to that of Anthony, the characters are small, and the space scene becomes the protagonist. But on a closer look, there are more differences.
In Zhang Yimou's composition, the characters are close and together. The movie characters in Antonioni are placed in the front and back scenes, even diagonally, and the scenery is equally prominent, but the focus is on the distance between the characters.
Zhang Yimou makes the characters give way to space, to the deep yellow earth, trying to express the profound history of northern Shaanxi, the power of cultural norms, and the insignificance of characters under such historical inertia.
Different from Antonioni, the composition setting of "Adventure" focuses more on the fact that in modern society, the distance between people is far away.
