The whole movie is mostly cool tones and disappearing colors, giving people a sense of depression. When the film shows the factory, black and white and gray are the main colors, highlighting an indifferent and gray atmosphere. The depression brought by machinery and factories arises spontaneously. When the male protagonist took the female protagonist to the river, the river turned black due to excessive sewage discharge, and the land was also blackened by the pollution of the river water, which was thought-provoking. In the era we live in, the economy and technology are developing rapidly, material changes are too fast, and those things that are truly original have been abandoned. Nature, the human heart is ignored, and factories representing the bourgeoisie fill the entire picture. The heroine in the movie appears in a green coat, which is particularly conspicuous in the picture. Green symbolizes hope and beginnings, in stark contrast to the repression of the factory. At the same time, the heroine ended up wearing a green coat. One end and one end seem to be the same, the heroine has not been changed, and nothing has changed. It's just that the audience, after watching a whole movie, understands that the heroine is different from them. Her fears, worries, fears, are just commonplace to us and the rest of the movie. The heroine amplifies the fear of material things originally buried deep in the audience's heart, and shows it in a neurotic, almost crazy state. At this time, the green at the end seems to be a little more helpless. The movie is called "Red Desert". In the film, more red elements are also used to express the meaning. For example, there is a shot in the film with red interlaced steel and concrete as the foreground to shoot the female protagonist walking on this construction site. The hard and straight steel bars obscured most of the picture. An eerie, terrifying vibe fills the picture. One can't help but think, do we also live in the same world, seeing the world through a piece of steel and cement, through a glass, and a railing? The heroine asked "Aren't you afraid?" as if the director asked through the actor's mouth, and the respondent replied "I'm used to it" as if answering for all of us. Furthermore, the group went to a room by the sea. There was a red-painted room in the white hall. As soon as people enter that room, the atmosphere becomes ambiguous. At this time, red is a symbol of eroticism and ambiguity. Cordola broke down the red house and used the wooden planks to heat the fire. Everyone laughed. At this time, the red color turned into a violent carnival. The use of ideographic color in film is groundbreaking and plays an important role in film history. I think similar movie cases are Heroes, Eyes Wide Shut, Pierrot, The Red Lantern, The Yellow Earth, and so on. However, the first movie that came to my mind was "The Intimate". The film tells the story of people who go from "new tenants" to "heart tenants". The film is also in black and white Grey and cool tones are the main colors to present an indifferent, depressive atmosphere. The different personalities and roles of different characters are reflected in their actions and clothes colors. Teenagers, for example, always wear highly saturated clothes, either dark blue or dark red. Although all the characters seem calm and even dull on the surface, it seems that this is how we usually live. Without emotion, the whole person is gray, just like the sky in the movie. But the boy is a very warm-hearted character, so the color can show that he plays an active role in the film. Furthermore, when the astronaut landed at the grandmother's house, the warm dress of the whole room contrasted with the indifferent and dark colors outside, and the grandma's fancy dress also contrasted with the astronaut's pure white space suit, suggesting the easy-going personality of the grandmother, slowly Touch the heart of the character.
