"October" in the movie book

1. The meaning of ideology:

Since ancient times, critics have spoken of the dual function of art: to teach and to entertain. Some films emphasize the function of softening the guide. How? The most obvious ones are selling merchandise like a mission, like a TV commercial or selling propaganda, like "October" or "Triumph of the Will." At the opposite extreme are abstract avant-garde films, which seem to have nothing to do with moral values ​​because they have nothing but pure form. The purpose? To provide pleasure.

While traditional classical cinema eschews extreme teaching and pure abstraction, even the slightest entertainment carries value judgments. Critic Daniel Davan said: "Classical cinema is the mouthpiece of ideology. After all, who is arranging the images? For what? Absorb these awareness consciously, as in Pretty Woman.

2. Tone

The tone of a movie can be manipulated in many ways, for example, the style of performance can greatly influence how we react to a scene. In Idrosha Ushi's "Heavenly Questions", the tone is objective and realistic, all non-professional actors are used to make the performance style very realistic, and they do not exaggerate emotional Zhang to enhance the drama.

Genre can also help set the tone of the film, with epic films unfolding in a more dignified than life-like manner such as "The Searcher" or "October" The best thrillers are usually tough, vicious, and tough, as "Double Indemnity" and "Deadly Gambler," the comedy's tone is frivolous, playful and even silly.

The off-screen narration can also help set the tone of the film, creating another counterpoint to the objective viewing of the play, for example the narration can be ironic, as in "Sunset Boulevard" or sympathetic, as in "Dances with Wolves") , or even panic, such as "Taxi Driver"; or a Confucian style, such as "A Clockwork Orange" is narrated by a defiant.

The music is most often used to set the tone of a movie. It's all rock and roll, or a Mozart or Ray Charles jazz soundtrack. The atmosphere is completely different. In Spike Lee's "Jungle Fever," the Italian-American scene is complemented by Frank Sinatra's singing, African-American plays use gospel songs and soul music.
