Analysis of the design of the sailor suit in the film

Jamarcus 2022-11-09 15:34:54

Recently, I was obsessed with Venice, and today I watched the stills and found that there is an interesting detail in Taggio's sailor suit, which is the white rope under the collar.

At the same time, I learned that Taobao has a replica of the same model for sale, so I went to take a look.

Because my aesthetic point is that "what is designed to meet the purpose is just beautiful", not "what is imitated for decoration is only superficial."

So Taobao made two fake pockets on their own initiative without any research (there is only one pocket in the movie, the seller is really smart...) and put on two ropes of unknown meaning (the nipples are very painful), which made me a little bit. asphyxia.

But based on the stills alone, this rope is connected to the bow tie and can be seen as a fixation, but what happened to the one in the pocket.

It is well known (probably) that Queen Victoria was the first to wear navy uniforms as children's clothing, so I found a portrait of Edward VII as a child (maybe the first child to wear a sailor's suit?)

With a rope, no pockets, lost. However, it is basically certain that there is a function of fixing the bow tie.

Then I went looking for a photo of the modern Royal Navy

Hmm... they don't seem to have pockets...

It's impossible, it's impossible, and I guess from a practical point of view that there is only one rope, and it was put into the pocket along the collar, and I went to look for the stills, um yes.

But why is it in my pocket, is it because it is too long? I don't think it should be, it must be useful. Then I had an idea to check the old photos of the Australian Navy. After all, it used to be a colony and the Royal Navy.

There is one on the left! Then I went to the official website of the Australian Navy along the picture address, and there was a complete and detailed introduction. This rope comes out of the collar, which can be used to fix the bow tie and tie a small knife in the pocket of the chest (this knife is a bit like a Swiss Army knife. screwdriver or something)

I feel like this design is very sexy, it kind of feels like a samurai saber/pill box, I'm very happy now, I get a climax joy in exploring the details, this thing makes me think of Tagio A little more plump.

Watching the movie again, I can feel that he may have a knife or other gadget in his breast pocket. These supplementary settings make me so happy that I even have the boy in my mind.

I have to say that Piero Tosi's design is really attentive, and even in such details that no one cares about, it is restored to the extreme. I think audience readers like me should barely count the explorers Ted Jiang's breath refers to.

Death in Venice quotes

  • Gustav von Aschenbach: I remember we had one of these in my father's house. The aperture through which the sand runs is so tiny that... that first it seems as if the level in the upper glass never changes. To our eyes it appears that the sand runs out only... only at the end... and until it does, it's not worth thinking about... 'til the last moment... when there's no more time left to think about it.

  • Gustav von Aschenbach: You know sometimes I think that artists are rather like hunters aiming in the dark. They don't know what their target is, and they don't know if they've hit it. But you can't expect life to illuminate the target and steady your aim. The creation of beauty and purity is a spiritual act.

    Alfred: No Gustav, no. Beauty belongs to the senses. Only to the senses.
