Taiga's film is like a poem, and the graceful composition and magnificent colors are like gifts of meaning, presented to the audience in an unopened state. I love Taiga so much! I also like the way of showing movies with a lot of pictures. The pictures should be freely interspersed like breathing in the process of reading text.
Taiga Viditi’s lens has not only a splendid world of colors, but also a magnificent and wonderful fantasy world. If the former is used as a hint of emotion and rhythm to promote the development of the plot, then the latter is a metaphor and symbol. The freedom of the kingdom of Taiga, the strangeness of Taiga's film and the lack of color make me choose to examine the latter topic, and the reason why I put "composition art" and "metaphorical symbol" together is based on this understanding-Taiga's In addition to the pure expressiveness of visual aesthetics, the art of composition also has another layer of connotation of metaphor and symbolism, which is also its poetic nature.
However, I think the charm of metaphor lies in its openness. Everyone can put forward different opinions. In the world of metaphors and the kingdom of signs, there is no right or wrong, only clumsy beauty and vulgarity. However, the standard of this judgment is extremely Private, just as the beauty of the mirror is not that it reflects how much the world is, but that everyone can reach their ideal state through it, so unmistakable instructions and well-founded arguments are only in thousands of paths. This article does not intend to enumerate the path taken by the author, but only provides a number of inclusive intersections for tourists to choose what they like. In other words, the author believes that imagery is imagery. The value of the carrier of metaphor is much higher than its interpretable meaning. Gifts that have not been opened are the most potential and therefore the most beautiful.
1. WHO IS THE RABBIT? (Image of rabbit)
The first time RABBIT appeared in the whole play was in the scene of the title display. I originally saw the Chinese translation and thought that the original English name should be JOJO'S FANTASTIC WORLD and so on. Later I found out that it was JOJO RABBIT (so another version of the Chinese translation of the masterpiece "Joe Joe Rabbit"), I just saw the rabbit, my direct feeling is an inexplicable sense of contradiction, which is incompatible with the whole drama, especially after this paragraph of oath——
The rabbit seems to be an extremely contradictory and torn image with snake, wolf, panther, and German, just like the weak and kind boy jojo under the authoritarian fascist state machine. In the following plot, the first confrontation between jojo and rabbit appears. During Hitlerjugend training weekend (Nazi youth training weekend), he was asked to strangle an innocent gray rabbit, but under his kind nature, he let it go and let it escape. He was laughed at as jojo the rabbit, which is jojo. The story between the first time and the rabbit.
The second appearance of the rabbit was in the mental dialogue between JOJO and Hitler. This reminds people of Hitler’s wording and layout during the German strategic defense stage, and to some extent reflects the boy’s self-comfort and psychological defense mechanism. In the eyes of young JOJO, the rabbit has the characteristics of bravery, cunning and strong, which reminds people of JOJO who survived the artillery massacre in the second half.
The third time was after JOJO died and threw a hand grenade to injure herself. Mom helped JOJO to tie his shoelaces. Seeing Scarlett was ecstatic in her heart, she was too sultry! The butterfly shoes here have a wonderful metaphor, like wrapping the rabbit's tail around its ears, then tying it up and stuffing it back into the hole.
But what's interesting is that the rabbit's short tail can't wrap around its ears at all, which also makes this dialogue bring an unattainable sense of desolation and intriguing magic.
And I want to say that shoelaces are definitely rich in symbolism in the film. If you don’t believe it, you might as well take a look at this paragraph:
On the contrary, bow tie shoelaces can dance freely. I think "butterfly-shoelace-dance" constitutes a complete and complementary metaphor chain in the movie. Not much to say, there is no sense of beauty. It’s better to experience the graceful interaction of these three in the movie, it's like a dance.
Emmm digressed. It should be like a rabbit. Let's look at the next scene where a rabbit appears.
It seems to be far behind.
The little boy holding the key is considering whether to release the rabbit in the cage. It looks like JOJO, who knows the secret, is hesitating to tell Elsa the news of freedom. After seeing this, I realized that the title JOJO RABBIT is not a affiliation but maybe It's a tie! This book written by JOJO himself is really wonderful. Next time I learn German, I must write a research film review, giving people a feeling of Strindberg’s "Half a Sheet of Paper", eh! Literature should be half a piece of paper, not the whole world at the same time. I have always been very interested in the text in the text, the film in the film, the play in the play, the music in the music, because they are the existence of the medium that makes people think about the medium. In the application, we began to realize that the original transparent The existence of the medium, and looking at him, in this way, touch and realize the invisible invisible objects.
2. Tent! tent! Still a tent! (Image of a tent)
In the opening Hitlerjugend training weekend (Nazi youth training weekend), the colorful tent groups are very eye-catching. There are two classic compositions in total. Taiga has shown his extraordinary perception and ability to control colors.
In contrast between the two pictures, the location of the tent group has not changed in any way. The flying fire in the air renders it as a graceful visual feast, embracing cruelty and tenderness. After Auschwitz, not only writing poetry, but also almost everything is cruel. The picture of the lens is so beautiful that I can't help but put another one on it.
I really like Taiga's lens language, like a troubadour.
3. Butterfly or rabbit ears? (Image of shoelace)
The author is a foot fetish, so I am very sensitive to the related imagery of shoes. In the movie, shoes have status symbols and power words in many plots.
The military boots here symbolize fascist authoritarianism and collective tyranny.
Inga's ballet shoes convey that the next shot is Inga's room
The dead people hanging alive on the gallows on the street are faceless, and the identification of shoes also represents their identity. Perhaps what I want to symbolize here is the countless nameless rebels who are engaged in the free German movement like JOJO’s mother, in the dawn of freedom On the eve of the advent, such an unknown hanging on the street, this symbolic pattern runs through the film, so that when she conveyed the message that JOJO's mother was hanged, she did not even give her a face, but still just a close-up of the shoes.
From where JOJO posted the flyer on the street, we can find the full picture of the flyer attached to the leg of the trousers in the picture above. The author does not understand German and can only ask for help to translate "BEFREIT" means "liberated and rescued" and "DEUTSCHLAND" means "Germany" means "BEKAMPFT" means "struggle with, overcome", "DIE" means the definite article is unintentional, and "PARTEI" means partisan. The message of this piece of paper is "to be liberated". Germany, fight this party", it sticks to Rosie’s trousers, like indisputable evidence.
JOJO never wears shoelaces to tie his mother's shoelaces for the last time, and has also witnessed his growth. If butterfly shoes have any graceful connotations-such as freedom, love, happiness, beauty-then this series The ability of shoelaces may also reflect JOJO’s conceptual transition and spiritual growth. He has turned from a nazi fanatic to the opposite. This can be seen from the increasingly clear contradictions and differences in the dialogue with spiritual leaders. arrive.
However, the meaning of butterfly shoelaces is not groundless. We can take a look at the scenes in the movie that involve butterflies.
I personally feel that this shot foreshadows Elsa hidden in the attic behind, such a beautiful creature who is fragile and bound, longing for light and freedom.
When I think of shoes, I think of dance! In this fragment of strolling along the lake, when rosie and jojo talked about love, they mentioned that the belly was filled with butterflies, which made the butterflies and love establish a direct metaphorical relationship.
4. DANCE FOR FREEDOM (Dance Image)
Of course dancing reminds people of many things! For example, freedom, love, and gratitude, as rosie mentioned in the film "gratefulness to the creator", and here again I mentioned the metaphorical chain of "dancing-butterfly-shoes" I mentioned earlier. I think the metaphorical chain is true. It's wonderful! Dancing requires shoes on your feet. Shoes are the prerequisite for dancing. And the way of dancing is so close to the flying of butterflies. Isn't people stumbling like butterflies in the world? There are butterfly-shaped laces on the shoes! Hahaha, clever metaphor chains will form interconnected triangles. In this structure, you can’t find the ontology and the metaphor, because they shouldn’t exist mechanically and rigidly. There is only a higher will that overrides the related three. Above, they are insignificant spirits. You can speak out what they mean, but people can never get close to their signifiers—the pure universe spirit.
You must think I am a idiot, hahaha! Then we continue to watch the movie clips.
This is the first part of a dance with a digression. Perhaps another reason why the metaphorical symbolism in the film is very heavy is that the narrative perspective of the film comes from the young JOJO. In the world of children, the symbolic meaning of symbols is very strong. Because children build their knowledge of the world through symbols. For example, rosie, who is smeared with soot, becomes a father with a beard as a symbol.
Perhaps the dance symbolizes the happy time of love, and of course there is freedom!
JOJO and Elsa started snapping their fingers and shaking, so what shall we do now? Better to dance! God, this is clearly a peerless love!
Five. Too neat composition
At this point, I don’t want to write anymore. I’m going to watch "Moonrise Kingdom". There is one more emmm I want to say. Let’s take a look at the following four pictures-
This is what I cut randomly. You will find that the footage of the movie is too neat, basically parallel to the corners of the room. The neat and rigorous composition makes the house a closed sandbox, and the space where JOJO is also has The color of the strange world, this style is very pure and classic, a bit like minimalism or supremacy, and therefore has ample exoticism. The style is reminiscent of Wes Anderson, so straightforward and romantic, so natural and cruel.
