Surreal expression:
There are similarities between Renet's movies and Miró's paintings. Miró always deliberately disrupts the normal order. Under the guidance of intuition or subconscious, he uses an almost abstract language to express the improvisation of the mind. Therefore, in his paintings, symbolic signs and simplified images are an indispensable part, and many of his works are childlike innocence and childishness. In his heyday, he liked to show some symbolic objects with simple lines and clean and bright colors, revealing a mockery of the world behind his innocence. In "The Strange Journey of Young Spyway", Rene used an expression very similar to Miró, with small and exquisite details, delicate and tender design, strange fairy tale colors, silent but full of life, these elements all show A world that only belongs to the hot inner world. This film about the little boy TS does not focus on reinterpreting a certain story, but tells an absurd, unruly, tender story about love through a colorful picture. Although there is no magnificent and expansive natural scene in the film, There is no shock like a fire from the sky, but the whole film feels warm, comfortable and long-lost joy. One of the most critical parts of the expression of surrealism is the use and processing of surrealism colors. It can be said that when surrealism deals with colors, it exerts the ideographic function of colors to the greatest extent on the basis of reality. Therefore, in " In the movie "The Bizarre Journey of Young Speyway", Renai uses a lot of warm colors to build a bright and beautiful world for children. The use of this color is very similar to "Red Desert" directed by Antonioni. Although the tone of the two films is opposite, the use of color makes perfect use of the ideographic function of color in surrealism. The story environment in Renai's movies is not a real environment, but an environment that has been illusory, or it can be said to be an environment that has been imagined. This design bury the reality from the beginning and bring the director’s subjective intentions into play. The incisiveness and vividness of the film is precisely because of this, the absurdity and exaggeration in the movie are naturally forgiven.
Weird characters:
Whether it's textual expression or image expression, characters are always very important, and the director's creative intentions and emotional appearance will be reflected through the characters' encounters, behaviors, and so on. In Rene’s movies, most of what we see are abnormal characters, the hideous butcher in "Black Shop Rhapsody", the talented little boy in "Spiraway's Strange Journey", "Tong Meng Lost Soul Night" "The dwarf dwarf in ", etc., these grotesque images have constructed a world completely deviated from reality, in this world, Rene is the king. Renei vividly presented the grotesque image to the audience. Under an abnormally strong shock and impact, the audience obtained a unique sense of aesthetic pleasure, which enriched the aesthetic taste. Perhaps this is also interesting for Renei's movies. The essential. The grotesque characters in Renai's movies often express two meanings, one is horrible and dark things, and the other is funny and interesting. In the movie "The Bizarre Journey of Young Spyway", the boy TS's family composition is also very weird. He is a paranoid mother, simple-minded, and a fictional 18th century cowboy father who likes acting and dreams of participating in beauty contests. Sister of, these characters not only have very obvious personality labels but also have very distinctive personalities and characteristics. It is this kind of family that constitutes the overall tone of the film. One thing that cannot be ignored here is the character's expression of love, especially the lifelessness of the family after the brother's death, and this is also the main reason for TS to escape from home. The truck drivers TS met while running away from home, the old sailors met on the train, etc., these people are exaggerated and unreasonable, but they fit the whole movie perfectly. Although the settings of these characters are exaggerated, they are still based on realistic experience. They are shaped according to rational or rational creative behavior, and exaggeration is implanted as an aesthetic element into the character's character, which constitutes an absurdity. , Cute, can't help but laugh in the movie world.
Fairy-tale colors:
The use of colors in Renai’s movies is very typical, such as the large amounts of red and green in "Angels Love the Beautiful", the dark yellow in "Black Shop Rhapsody", the green in "Children’s Dreams Lost Souls", etc., these colors It not only conveys the theme of a world, but more importantly, it expresses the environmental and emotional factors conveyed by color. In "The Bizarre Journey of Young Spyway", the director Rene is still a warm tone, and puts multiple complementary colors side by side in a unified environment, emphasizing the contrast between colors, and the composition of the whole movie is completely adopted. It is the style of heavy-color oil painting, just like the colorful train, the vibrant farm and the beetles with a wonderful luster. What Rene has created is a warm world. In this world, colors match the changes in the mood of the characters, fusing and recreating the natural beauty in the Montana Valley and the modern beauty in the city of Chicago. The whole film It fully embodies the director's surreal expression and the transmission and display of color images. In the film, a lot of contrasting colors are used for matching. In these active and warm colors, TS is portrayed as a cute, smart, and thoughtful little boy. Throughout his journey, he is actually looking for a kind of My love and affirmation. Although there are many sad details in the film, the director tried to show a world that is deviated from reality. Therefore, TS's sadness and sadness have also been cast with a layer of strangeness. French films are often labeled as romantic and poetic. However, the poetic style of the film no longer stays in the long shot, the poetic expression between the characters and the romantic atmosphere is no longer limited to the fascinating love story. , The director of the whole film interprets a surreal, absurd, but poetic story of searching and returning through exploration and innovation.
"The Bizarre Journey of Young Spyway" is not a road movie in the traditional sense. It focuses on the family, the alienation between family members, trivialities, contradictions, and other warm details. However, it still has the characteristics of a road movie. Feeling, independent children, kind passers-by and so on. There are so many things that Renei wants to express. In addition to these technical expressions, there are many wonderful ideas, such as perpetual motion machines, and it is this impossible perpetual motion machine that triggers all this. In addition to expressing love in this film, Rene also satirizes many people and things, such as education, the media, and so on. In fact, the director observes the world with the help of children's perspective in this movie. This setting is matched with the effect of oil painting to create a dreamlike atmosphere.
