Anderson is absolutely a master of color aesthetics. There is no hint of mystery in this film. It is a serious nonsense. Although it is forced to sublimate in the end, there is a kind of psychedelic attraction that can make people ignore the direction of the story.
The boss, Francis, is an old English gentleman. Although he has a bruised face and a swollen head, he is still leaning on a walking stick, wearing three thousand loafers, and an assistant. He makes a schedule every morning and wears bundle pajamas to sleep. The second child, Peter, is standard and beautiful. He mixes and matches from head to toe. He takes muscle relaxants without a prescription. He sleeps naked and wears pink bottoms. Jack, the youngest French literary and artistic man, is a young man who writes novels and brings his own music. He likes "Where Do You Go To" such a man and jazz. He has a mustache and is wearing the bright yellow flannel bathrobe of the Cavalier Hotel. Ripples hook up with girls at any time.
Three brothers pajamas look
At the beginning of the trip, the three brothers each had their own concerns and depressed. Francis believed in his eldest brother. The mantra was "let's make an agreement". He wanted to surprise the two younger brothers and lead them back to the happy time before, although this is in the eyes of Peter and Jack. The eldest brother is not very reliable and has no appeal. On the way out, the three brothers took the train with blue as the main color, and elephants were printed on the carriages. Blue in the color spectrum is a cool color, Blue in English is depressed and sad, and elephants represent melancholy (Hugo published the short film "The Melancholic Elephant" in 1983). They were really melancholy on the train when they started to travel. Peter was eager to escape from married life. Jack was immersed in the last relationship and couldn't get out. Even the conductor and the flight attendant had a sad past. In short, the whole color layout is telling The audience's mood is just a puddle of shit.
Blue tone car on the outbound journey
After he bought a poisonous snake and was driven off the train, Francis confessed the purpose of the trip to his two younger brothers. The three brothers sat on the brown suitcases customized by LV and finished eating over-the-counter drugs and decided to go their separate ways. This turning point means that the inner feelings of the three brothers have also changed. This turning point is a color transition. In this transitional phase, blue, yellow, and white intersect each other, and each other is the primary one. For example, when attending an Indian child funeral, the indoor wall background color is blue, the foreground characters are white and goose yellow, the outdoor wall background color is orange-yellow, and the children in indigo blue clothes are arranged in the foreground, plus the pure white kur when attending the funeral. Tower, the three colors are equally divided, and finally yellow prevails as the main color. Wes Anderson is a symmetrical madman!
Axisymmetric in blue and yellow
After the funeral, the color of the picture changed to yellow in one fell swoop. The formation of multiple yellow layers makes the chromaticity brighter. Yes, the three brothers have successfully begun to walk towards the sun. When I saw my mother at the foot of the Himalayas, the overall yellow saturation of the picture was still on the low side, slightly brown and brown. When I woke up the next day, the brightness instantly increased, and the three brothers successfully bid farewell to the haze and turned to brilliance.
Brightness up
On the return train, the warm color was successfully occupied, the color of the carriage became orange-red, and the pattern changed from an elephant to a tiger. It was full of vitality, vigor and high saturation. At this time, the mood of the three brothers should have reached the high point. So the film ends in the beautiful scenery of the train along the way.
Return orange-red base car
Wes Anderson, a dead star who doesn't need art, has finished telling a story in color! The three brothers are the most loving.
