First of all, the tone in "My Father and Mother" is well used. The beginning of the film uses black and white to match the desolate and desolate picture of the snow, which immediately brings the audience into the grief of the protagonist over the death of his father. In addition, the realistic plots in the film all show a cold tone, while the plots showing the love between father and mother in the past mostly use warm tones. In contrast, it shows that the death of the father in the real world brings the mother to the mother. Sadness, and mother's nostalgia for the past, this way of expressing with different tones in different time and space makes the real world cast a sad atmosphere, and also creates a dreamy atmosphere for the good memories of the past. However, the director did not always use warm tones in his memories, and he also used cool tones in past episodes. For example, when the mother saw her father arguing with others when she was fetching water, the tones here became obviously colder, laying the groundwork for her father's departure. Foreshadowing, while playing a certain narrative role, also enriches the color performance of the past part. Secondly, the local hue plays a very good role in creating the atmosphere of the film and expressing the mood of the characters in the application of the film. The most prominent use of local hues in the film is the scene where the mother is wearing her father's favorite red cotton jacket, standing in the snow waiting for her father. In the monotonous pure white, the red on the mother's body is more moving. The meaning of this scene is extremely profound. The cold and snow-covered earth in winter actually also hints at the dangerous situation of the father and the blow to the love of the parents at this time. . And red symbolizes the mother's warm and unswerving love for her father. No matter how many difficulties she encounters, her mother's love for her father will always be as bright as ever.
Finally, the most obvious use of color in the film is the alternating use of black and white and color. The film chose to make the real world appear black and white. The black and white of the real world reflects the death of the father, and also better expresses the mother and the protagonist's sadness for the death of the father, which highlights the inner sadness of the characters and creates a sad and bitter atmosphere. The color used in the memory better highlights the changes of the four seasons and the mood of the characters in a series of processes in which the mother and father knew each other, fell in love with each other. At the end of the film, when the mother hears the voice of the protagonist studying at school, the faces of the old mother and the colorful young mother are superimposed in the black and white picture, and then the black and white picture gradually fades out, the young mother's face appears in the picture, and the picture is It was the first time my mother listened to my father to study. It also shows that no matter how the years go by, the beauty of the past will never come back, but this love, from the beginning to the end, never dissipates.
