As for his work "My Father and Mother", it is undoubtedly not a successful work, and the use of tone, color and picture is very distinctive. Tone The film uses black and white tones and color tones. The choice of black and white tones in reality, and the choice of color tones in memory, seems to be out of common sense, but there is a reason. In reality, the mother lost her husband, and the son was not around all the year round, there was little talk, and the spiritual sustenance also left her, reflecting the mother's loneliness and pain. In the memory, the mother loved her husband deeply. This is a beautiful memory of the mother, full of love, hope, and enthusiasm, reflecting the happiness and happiness of the mother at that time. At the same time, black and white tones give people a feeling of depression, heaviness and sadness. Because the story begins with the death of my father, the good can be put in. The use of colorful tones gives a warm, cheerful, relaxed feeling. It makes people yearn for love in their youthful years. Color Zhang Yimou's favorite is red. Whether it's "The Big Red Lantern" or "My Father and Mother", red has an irreplaceable position in his films. In the film, my mother always likes to wear that red dress, whether it is in the white snow in winter or in the golden trees in autumn, it is especially eye-catching. Red represents the mother's ardent and pure pursuit of love, and symbolizes the mother's stubbornness and courage. In that innocent age, the mother bravely pursued her love and obtained her own happiness. That red dress is a testimony to the good old days of my mother. Screen overlay is a major feature of the film. Although it is frequently used, its effect is different each time. For example, the transition of space is the way from the photo frame to the entrance of the village to complete the time-space transformation of narrative. For example, to express the passage of time, it means that the dining table has been overlapped many times since the school, which shows the mother's daily delivery of meals and her full attention. For example, to express emotions, it is from the mother looking for the card sent by the father to go out early and return late for several days, which reflects the mother's perseverance and tenacity. Frustration and loss of card issuance. The superposition at the end of the film is even more exciting, and it is also the climax of the film. It embodies the vicissitudes of the years and the emotion of things being different from people. Overall, "My Father and Mother" is a very successful film. The ingenious coordination between the contrast of tones, the prominence of the colors, and the superposition of the pictures draws the audience into it deeply and fills the audience with yearning for love.
