In fact, the title of the film has clearly given the theme of Passion to the audience. This seemingly simple title strongly stimulates the audience's senses with a fluttering red curtain, easily arousing the audience's emotions and bringing them into the plot. I have to admit that red has a strong agitation effect. The first time I saw this title, I was already strongly shaken, and my heart was agitated.
The film uses the red gauze fluttering in front of Bertha's window, the red scarf around Jane's neck, and Rochester's red riding uniform to connect the three with red, explaining the diametrically opposite definition of red under the red motif of Passion.
Bertha - Sensuality and Redness
The red gauze fluttering in front of Bertha's window has a strong symbolic meaning. It represented Bertha's involvement in the plot on Jane's first morning in Thorfield. When Jane looked at it with a confused expression for the first time, she had already pulled out the biggest suspense of the whole plot, which was the first meaning of Bertha's red-mystery. And the exact mystery of Bertha's red was revealed in the third episode by Rochester's recollection of his marriage with Bertha, that is, lewdness, depravity and infidelity, which is another layer of Bertha's red meaning. Looking back now, I look at the red veil fluttering in front of me. The red dancing in the wind shows Bertha's still agitated heart even in the claustrophobic state. It is Bertha's nostalgia and memories of the debauched life in the past. In Rochester's reminiscences interspersed at the end of the third episode, we have already recognized Bertha's true face from the red yarn Bertha wrapped provocatively around Rochester's neck when Bertha and Rochester first met. Rochester is bound in this unhappy, prearranged marriage. The red veil that kept fluttering at Bertha's window showed its seductive allure even when its owner was mad. It can be seen that when the red yarn appears in Rochester, it almost does not appear at the same time, which seems to indicate that Bertha also has the ability to distinguish in his not sober mind, and also more and more reveals the lewdness and infidelity in Bertha's nature. At the same time, the red gauze also plays the same role as the scarlet letter that the heroine was forced to wear on her chest because of adultery in Hawthorne's novel "The Scarlet Letter". The red gauze is also the director's intention to declare Bertha's sin to the world. Another layer of red symbolic meaning. Moreover, we can also see that Bertha's red is hostile to Jane, a threat to Jane. Bertha's red almost only appeared in Jane's field of vision. It not only created a sense of mystery in Jane's heart, but also created a certain sense of oppression in Jane's heart. It was a provocation or even a challenge to Jane. When Jane escaped from Thornfield and glanced back, the red veil fluttering in front of Bertha's window was clearly signaling its victory to Jane. At this time, the red veil fluttering under the gloomy sky finally revealed the essence of evil, "like blood dripping from the lips. Malice", heralding the final destruction of Thornfield and the bloody end of Bertha.
Jane - red in the depths of the soul
Red is the color of Jane's soul. Compared to her always calm, slightly gray exterior, her heart is red for love, strength and dreams. The 06 version showed the audience the true color of Jane's inner world in the first shot of the first episode, which was realized through JE's dream. Jane dreamed that she was wearing a red sari walking in the golden desert. The golden and red colors that appeared in the dream were bright, dazzling and warm, which was the opposite of the cruelty and indifference that Jane felt in the real world. , forming a huge contrast. In order to survive adversity, Jane has carefully hidden her inner world, leaving her true nature in the depths of her soul. Jane's true heart is buried under her unremarkable appearance, just like a firebird hides its beauty under its gray feathers. Jane's true heart is like a precious treasure waiting to be discovered by the right person, and like a pearl buried in the soil waiting for someone to dust it off. When her love was awakened by Rochester, her life glowed with passion. The morning after she rescued Rochester from the fire, after hearing Rocheter's affectionate expression, Jane put a red scarf around her neck, revealing her inner world carefully for the first time. , is also an expression of her love for Rochester. The red scarf also has symbolic meaning for Jane. When she learned that Rochester intended to be engaged to Blanche Ingram, she took off the scarf around her neck, and once she confirmed that Rochester had no love for Blanche, she put it back on. With a red scarf, this line already has the meaning of declaring war on Blanche and defending love. Different from Bertha's redness, Jane's red is stable. It is represented by a red square scarf, and the square image of the red square scarf shows that Jane's red is full of passion but will not go beyond the rules.
Rochester - the red of uninhibited and rebellious
Red is full of vitality, and its dazzling effect is applied to almost all flags related to revolution and resistance, which leads to another important meaning of red - revolution and subversion. I think that Red's Revolution and Subversive have both evil and positive characteristics, which is exactly in line with Rochester's personality, while R's Red is willful and uncontrollable. The 06 edition used the red of R on his riding suit, which has a strong symbolic meaning in itself. Since red was the main color on the military uniform at that time, the application of red to the riding suit made the R wearing it obviously. Endowed with the connotation of a brave and fearless warrior who charges into battle. The application of this red is not unremarkable. It is rare to see such a wild color used on men (except for military uniforms) in the same film of the 19th century, and it is rare even on women. This is the same as that The elegance and subtlety advocated by the era is contrary to it. And this red adventure was a success. This red riding suit made Rochester, who wore it, immediately jumped out of the many men around him, making him look extraordinary. I can't help but praise Toby here. He not only has a very good camera control ability, but also has a strong clothing control ability. You must know that red is the most difficult color to control in clothing. People who do not have strong self-confidence not only cannot suppress this color, but also can easily be controlled by this color, resulting in an overwhelming effect, and the color steals the wearer's limelight . Red is easy to cause two extremes of wearing effect: one is extreme insolence; the other is extreme vulgarity. It's a little difficult to wear out arrogance, but the effect of wearing a red envelope is terribly simple. And Toby controls this color perfectly. He wears his riding suit confidently and unobtrusively, and shows the heroic and military spirit that is rarely seen in other actors. The important thing is that this red is worn on him. The body is so harmonious and ironed, there is no embarrassment or discomfort at all, and the uninhibited beauty of red, which is both good and evil, has been perfectly combined with his own personality. It is also very difficult for him to wear this outfit without causing a sense of oppression to the surrounding environment and other characters. After a careful study of Toby's outfit, I couldn't help but shouted OMG in my heart, this costumer is really bold, the red riding outfit is actually a bright yellow vest, usually people don't use the same visual effect. When the colors are matched together, the vulgar effect produced by this exaggerated combination is obvious. Think about the effect of these two colors being worn on others at the same time. It is rare that Toby is wearing it so calmly, freely and elegantly, I am afraid that even the original The costumer who came up with this idea should be secretly surprised. And this way After all, the combination of adventure still has ulterior motives, and there are other deep meanings. These two colors can't help but remind me of the golden yellow and bright red in the first scene of the first episode, which coincides with the color of R's body. Rochester is Jane's dream. The explorer and implementer of the middle world (inner world), he points to Jane's heart, and Rochester is the real world that Jane pursues. At the same time, the overlapping of colors also confirms the allusion of the adaptor to Rochester and Jane about Twins.
The design for R's red is significantly different from Bertha's red and Jane's red, and they are very different in color. The color of Bertha and Jane is dark red, which for Bertha represents indulgence and blood, and for Jane, it represents her calmness and restraint. The red of R is bright, unstable, and ready to move at any time, which shows his more active, unrestrained and extroverted characteristics, and also shows the power and beauty of red. Compared with the red of J, the red of R is beating and unrestrained, it is not restricted by rules and thus appears more free and uninhibited; compared with the red of B, its bright color effect is pure, which is the bravery of red. Loyalty means. R Zhihong is a response to J Zhihong, and the encounter between J Zhihong and R Zhihong suggests the emotional waves that have collided between them. Also among the guests of Thornfield Mansion, J Zhihong blended in with the crowd because of its dark tone, which was not conspicuous and outrageous, while R Zhihong was dressed in black and white for all the male guests of Thornfield Mansion. It shows a sense of confrontation. His character is doomed to his rebellion and resistance to the rules and worldly destiny in reality, and the red color on R is just a declaration. And this red subversive is destined to be destructive. It not only damaged the ideal of love created by R's hard pursuit, but also caused a nearly devastating blow to himself.
The film uses red as a link to tightly bind the development of the storyline and the fate of the characters. We can see that red not only represents the different character characteristics of the protagonist, but also a signal of danger. It leads with dazzling visual effects. As the audience approaches the suspense and follows the guidance of the suspense, it condenses the surrounding air step by step until it erupts. The skillful use of red shows the extraordinary skill of the director. The 2006 edition is a crystallization of the wisdom and labor of the director, music, makeup and other staff members. One cannot but pay respect to such a work.
