Let me indulge in oversaturated colors

Because of the extensive use of this film as an example in an academic paper to illustrate the point, I hurriedly watched "The Autumn Lady", which is a good example of color cinema and mise-en-scene. This paper is: Johnson, William. "Coming to terms with color." Film Quarterly (1966): 2-22.

In fact, it is not as exaggerated as Mr. William wrote. Many times, first look at the use of color in this paper in the paper. Art skills are praised and rendered, and then I go to the film to find relevant passages. No matter how many times I watch it, I can’t realize the magic that William said, so I can only say that David Bordwell’s research on film form art It is an extreme. Sometimes this form is not as beautiful as imagined, but rather deliberate.

William is right, compared to sound and wide screen technology, color film technology has developed for decades before it really matures, because sound only needs to be added, wide screen only needs to be adjusted, but the road from black and white to color film needs more. Multiple trials and technical support. In the 1950s, color film technology was truly mature and stable, but it would take until more rapeseed directors experimented with color narration before color could truly become an important element of the aesthetics of film form and attract people's attention and research.

The film is certainly an attempt at such an early form of bold experimentation with color. In addition to color, there is nothing good to say, but when it comes to color, it is also experimental, and it is hard to say whether it succeeds or fails. For the vanguard's sake, it's still gratifying. After all, when I photograph, I also like a kaleidoscope of more saturated colors.

    A color film at its finest. "Don't be stupid, only people in movies die for love" and "Why am I still alive?" The two contrasting lines are undoubtedly important signs, which indicate that even if the appearance of the movie is extremely false, the "false" itself has been completely Denying it, Demi uses absolutely conceptual color language, absolutely precise movement of mirrors and scenes to let the characters and their emotions slide into the most real. From this point of view, "The Umbrella of Cherbourg" made me realize that perhaps pure musical films should be essentially another form of "Dog Town", and even have the distinction between provocative realism and expressionism. mission. A black dress and a pink gauze can express "it's her mother who loves him", a stiff inward fight at the dining table, a simple doll setting and a lateral shift can let me know the percentage of her cheating Hundreds have only flesh, so expressing "that person is like a dog" can be completely without lip service, and even a bed scene can be described as "long" or "venting" by just using an empty mirror. It's so perfect. The best musical in the history of private photography has changed hands, and it will take a while to know how long it is before the history of private photography. I was so happy to see it on the big screen for the first time.

    The bright colors and songs are wrapped in such a sad love story. Time and chance have changed the people who love each other. In the end, they were not together. When they met, the distance between them was so far away.
