A point of the light Superintendent Yamada may have used a similar opening and ending method in another work, "Tamako Love Story". In "Yuzi", "By always thinking unto them", in this work, it is "A point of the light", and there are light spots with shadows. Besides the light spot, another element at the beginning is the water wave.
In the communication between characters, the role of light is not simple. Corresponding to the "sound" in the title, the light reflects another way of communication—visual—notebooks for written conversations, sign language, and photos of knotted strings. Corresponding to the figure in the spot of light, when the glass is also communicating with the general in the film, the light source often comes from behind the glass.
Subsequently, the glass in the light seems to contain a metaphor of the danger of disappearing.
In addition to this, light also contains the traditional metaphor of hope. In the end, the "vision" was restored - the moment when the face of the crowd was clearly seen, the shocking bgm was renamed "lit", perhaps named light. The shape of sound The most impressive image in Yuzi is the true and false apple that runs through it, and the similar effect in "Shape of Sound" must be the ripples of water. In Yuzi, there is a metaphor of gravity attracting opposite sex, and in The Shape of Sound, it is not difficult to imagine the repeated waves of water as a metaphor for the transmission of sound and the transmission of ideas.
The carp, which symbolizes glass, also makes sounds in this way. The dullness of the sound in the water is reminiscent of the oppression of the glass being unable to speak.
The ripples produced by the water droplets also appeared several times. The water droplets symbolize the actual smallness of the external force that produces the communication, and symbolize the subtle changes caused by the outside world. Tears are also droplets.
If the explanation is expanded and it is considered that light is the communication method of Shogi, then the overlapping of ripples and moon shadows symbolizes the communication between the glass and Shogi across the medium - the mutual echo in the dream, and even the special meaning of moonlight brings Shogi's communication to the glass. A somewhat ambiguous response to "I want to give you the motivation to live". In addition, solid-state sound transmission has also become a way.
In this scene, the audience can clearly see the vibration of the armrest.
These two scenes may have echoes before and after.
Moral conflict and controversy should be a difficult movie for us to understand. The oversight itself may be unaware of the underlying moral controversies. After all, communication is a difficult thing. . . Many Chinese readers also don't like the blatant immorality of "Thousand Feather Cranes". Many of the above are from personal subjective speculation, and there may be excessive interpretation. After reading many articles of Rabbit Hill Station, I admire and appreciate their work with sincerity and fear. A lot of inspiration comes from this site. (Should I mark some citations?)
