Rhapsody In Blue, George Gershwin
Just as Ang Lee's theme is always "repressed emotions," Akira Kurosawa's theme is always "evil," and Woody's theme is always "stupid." The 1979 film "Manhattan" depicted such a man and woman. They want to do the right thing, but they can't be happy.
The film opens with a series of New York street scenes, accompanied by a recording prepared by the hero Isaac for his new book. The background is the 1924 "Rhapsody In Blue" by George Gershwin, often translated as "Rhapsody in Blue".
The repertoire is classic in its "ambivalent hybridity" of half classical and half jazz. The classical music of that era gradually became anxious about the rigorous and solemn arrangement, and the jazz music was also dissatisfied with the wandering between the wine, smell and the poor, so there was a fusion of the two.
The beauty of this song applied to the film is the high degree of conceptual fit. On the one hand, the color of the image uses black and white, and the scenery is interspersed with elements that are opposite and congregated, such as static and dynamic, and poverty and wealth. image, and the music simultaneously gives its response.
A beautiful thing can be old and fashionable at the same time; serious and light at the same time; majestic and mundane at the same time; a person can be one and that at the same time. As long as that is him/her/itself.
