What impressed me was that when my father George returned home, he found that his wife was not at home and had not prepared dinner. This unreasonable behavior disturbed George, and he went to the bowling alley to seek help from Mayor Poppy and others. In this section of the bowling alley, several men are dissatisfied with the changes in their wives and people, calling for a return to their original days. The model city, which has always been harmonious, changed smoothly. After this scene, the main contradiction appeared, namely, the mayor's restriction. So this paragraph is special in terms of overall function and audiovisual language.
The heavy rain outside the house excited the hearts of the people in Model City, and for the conservatives, it was also a sign of touching their bottom line. In the beginning, several consecutive clearing shots followed by the exciting shots of the mayor's victory, giving the mayor's image a sense of lofty and lofty. The picture freezes on the mayor's face, his expression becomes ugly. The wet father came in, and people pulled him to sit under a lamp. The top light made the atmosphere depressing. The picture that the mayor appeared at this time made people's eyes bright. The huge luminous scoreboard behind the mayor was very dazzling, as if the mayor’s behind him was shining like a saint, and the strong light made the mayor’s face appear darker. It is in line with what he is talking about about the imminent promulgation of a law to stop people from opening up their minds. The people sitting around looked up at the mayor except their father, and most of these people had relatively little hair on their foreheads, and the top light hit their faces, as if looking at the mayor and following him would bring light. Father with his head down, his face was again covered by the damp hair, his face looked very dark. Raising his head occasionally, light spilled from a lock of hair onto his face, making the face look mottled, neither dark nor bright, just like the father's heart is shaken at this time.
The occasionally interspersed scenes of raining outside, scenes of people laughing in the rain, scenes of mothers and chefs affair, and other colorful scenes, indulgent and joyful plots, set off the single color and pedantic thinking of the group of people who talk secretly in the bowling alley. Although these colorful images flashed by in a short time, the number of them is so large that the plot of the bowling alley seems to be swallowed up. The color and rhythm tell people that the group of talents represented by the mayor is the bad guy in this story, not the justice. They were whispering like a group of infidels conspiring to do bad things.
Throughout the film, color and black and white play against each other like justice and evil. The transformation of model city from black and white to color is like a person’s growth process. As he grows older, he learns some things that most people think are "bad" (such as fire, sex). But such a process is indeed a beautiful process from black and white to color. As people understand this, they begin to demand independence and autonomy, and can no longer follow their parents and managers (such as the mayor) as they did before. Perhaps growth itself is painful, but knowing more things also makes life more colorful. Once a person is born, the cognition of color is the most basic understanding of the world. Here, people's cognition of color is used to express people's cognition of various new things visually. Color is the most medium that implies the growth of people's psychology.
