In the history of film, Western film critics referred to the film "Red Desert" directed by the famous Italian director Antonioni as "the first color film in the aesthetic sense". This film can be said to use color to the fullest. A classic film, the use of colors is very bold. In a film, the director always uses a certain color of a blockbuster film to express a certain emotion or meaning in a certain section.
Antonioni also said that "Red Desert" was born from color. We can boldly analyze the environment, characters, stories and themes in the film from the perspective of color. The beginning of the movie is a large area of gray, and the most impressive thing in the movie is this gray. It is always used as the background color of the environment. Blockbuster films appear, trying to win our attention. Seeing gray, we think of it. There are always smoke, smog and other serious pollution, and these things related to gray always seem to represent a feeling of depression. This is a lifeless color, the most impressive fragment. It was the infectious disease raging on the cruise ship, Juliana fled because of fear, and the thick gray mist suddenly flooded the entire world, and everyone’s face appeared blurred, and everyone’s face seemed to be blurred. It also lost its vitality and color.
said without exaggeration that everyone seemed to be dead, which made Juliana feel panic and depression, and felt that she was incompatible with them, so she hurriedly escaped and drove to the sea. Then, what is impressive and very deep is the highly saturated red. In the movie, red and gray always appear at the same time to form a strong contrast, as if it is a bright and colorful in the gray morbid space, eye-catching. Just like the title of a movie, red is the theme color of this movie. Red is the most frequent occurrence in the movie. When we see red, we often think of blood.
In the film, the freshest segment is a group of people in that small red wooden house, there are men and women, they tease each other, and an ambiguous sentiment overflows from the camera. , And when Juliana and Corrado lingered, the bed frame was also red, and when confessing, the red oil barrel, these various meaningful red objects were pointing in the direction of emotion. Next is white. In the movie, when Juliana became ill, she was wearing a white dress and the room was also white. This seemed to represent death and loneliness.
When it comes to these two words, we seem to be reluctant to explore too much, but it is actually a lack of courage to face them. There is also black corresponding to white, black land, black sea and cruise ship. In my eyes, black still represents death and despair. Compared with white, black seems to be more intuitively depressing, uncomfortable and desperate. . Then there is green. At the beginning of the movie, Juliana slowly walked out of a large patch of gray in a green coat. When we see green, we can always think of big trees and small grasses, and these things symbolize vitality, vitality and hope. Green is hope, relaxation and friendliness for Juliana in the film, because there is a clip in the movie where Juliana came to a green room, she opened her heart, and told her inner thoughts. .
Color has a pivotal position in movies. Good directors can use color to express their ideas and artistic orientation appropriately and cleverly. Good movies are worth our taste. After careful analysis and study, we only pay attention to color. The importance of the film, so in the future shooting, we can also use color to shoot the film, to create and learn.
