Autumn is the harvest season. For those who live far away from agriculture and soil, autumn is the season to appreciate the yellow leaves. The yellow leaves in the movie are filtered through the eyes of the artist. It is a gift from nature. We have given human emotions and interpretations to the warm colors. We use yellow leaves to express receipts and satisfaction or other emotions. The first time I felt the film’s obsession with yellow leaves was Zhang Yimou. In the movie "Hero", in the plot, Maggie Cheung and Zhang Ziyi are fighting among the flying yellow leaves. Not only the trees and the ground are full of golden yellow, but there are also yellow leaves floating in the sky. Some of them are from the dance-like fighting. The scene is beautiful.
Director Zhang Yimou is a famous master of color. In the movie "Hero", he uses more extreme colors in a work. Many of his practices are unconventional. For example, the background of the scene just mentioned is golden. As usual, the characters should be dressed in cool colors to create contrast. However, director Zhang Yimou asked the actors to wear a big red and the two characters wear the same red. These were originally taboos, but Zhang Yimou's bold breakthrough brought the film There was a strong visual impact. His unconventional approach, as long as you have watched this movie, after many years, you may forget the specific storyline of "Hero", but you will remember the colors inside, and there are some pictures you will not forget. In the sky full of yellow leaves, two women in red are fighting like a dance. The pictures are profound and always give people a beautiful feeling.
