4.5. The illusion of the sound film is constructed on the breaking of the illusion of the silent film, and even the action of "breaking" is stitched together by the narrative and becomes part of the sound illusion. The play has a serious sense of rupture, but the illusion in each paragraph can maintain its appeal to the audience through exaggerated sound effects and perpetually energetic dance moves. Participated in the shaping of the characters, and even determined the direction of the plot from the structure-sound and singing and dancing have become a kind of survival ability, and those who are born with it can not be beaten to death on the beach by the tide of the times, and the second female made a mistake what? The background of this film is actually quite cruel and ruthless. Also, the transition from black and white to color is intentionally softened.
