A game of chess, a person, a loneliness. A bitter imagination, a lonely chess game, a good-natured cunning, and an interesting triumph. One person plays two roles, the winner is always himself, and the one who plays against it seems to be loneliness. But in the whole film, there are no dim tones, no sad soundtrack, and no lonely old man. It is warm and bright, relaxed and cheerful, and laughter. "Sorrow is multiplied with joyous scenery." It is this "contrast" technique that gives the film its strength and pierces the hearts of the audience. The highest grief is laughter. Because it hides, it pierces, which is the beauty of contrast in Gerry's Game.
The wood thorns hidden by the warm tones pierce the eye.
If you were to make a sad movie, what tone would you use? single? dim? gloomy? "Red maple leaves, green tabletop, blue sky, and afternoon in the warm sun" - instead, he chose bright and warm colors to give the picture a cheerful and pleasant atmosphere. The title, golden leaves and red maple leaves directly set the color tone of the whole film. In the picture, Gerry is wearing a black suit, which contrasts with the warm tones of the whole picture, which not only highlights the emotional sadness, but also highlights the image of Gerry in the picture, so that the character and the background will not be integrated. . The green tabletop not only accentuates the checkerboard, creating a color contrast, but also blends harmoniously with the background. In the game, the background of the cunning grid is a red wood, which symbolizes victory and celebration, which is in line with the image of the cunning grid who is constantly winning and triumphant in the film; and the background of the simple and honest grid is golden yellow. The woods symbolize light and clarity, and this use also hints at the outcome of the story—the simple and honest Gerry wins. Two backgrounds, one red and one yellow, form a contrast, showing two different images of the grid. The harmonious color matching of trees, fallen leaves, chessboard and sunlight in the film forms a warm tone, which renders the warm and pleasant atmosphere of the picture, which is exactly the same. more intense. Did you see that? The contrasting wooden thorns pierced through the warmth and poured out dazzling darkness.
The steel needle hidden by the cheerful music pierced the eardrum.
If you were to make a sad movie, what kind of music would you use? monotonous? sad? Deep? "Birds chirping, children laughing, humming little tunes, and the melodious accordion" - the opening title was introduced with a cheerful accordion, which established the cheerful atmosphere of the film. Then, Gerry hummed a small tune and placed the chess pieces, which made people feel more relaxed and happy. When Hanhougeli lost for the first time, the crows in the background fully revealed the embarrassment in Hanhougli's heart at that time. When Hanhou Gerry "fainted", the music stopped, and the children's laughter came from the side, which contrasted sharply with Gerry's loneliness. While Sly Gerry was surprised, he quickly checked his body, and there was a buzzing sound of flies in his head, showing that Sly Gerry was worried about his body. When Cunning Gerry leaned over to look at Hanhou Gerry, Hanhou Gerry's head stuck out of the table, the cheerful music sounded again, and Gerry's naughty became more vivid against the background of the music. After the simple and honest grid turned the chessboard, he leisurely defeated the cunning grid's army, and the cunning grid was shocked. At this time, the music stopped again in line with the character's mood. When the camera turned to the proud simple and honest grid, the cheerful music once again sounded. Do you understand? The contrasting steel needles pierced lightly, with a surging silent cry.
Smooth clips hide the sword and pierce the soul.
If you were to make a sad movie, what kind of editing would you use? slowly? boring? truthfully? "He gets up, he sits down, he's funny, old urchin's shit" - "Gerry's Game" doesn't do that!
At the beginning of the film, Gerry blows away the fallen leaves on the table, takes pictures of the chessboard with pride, and after placing all the pieces neatly, he rubs his hands to check the details, as if a wonderful game is about to begin. He held the table and sat down slowly, put on his glasses, and took the first step, expecting the opponent's counterattack. The camera is zoomed out, and there is only Gerry alone in the huge park, which is slightly desolate. At this time, the shadow is facing towards the seat of the simple and honest grid. He took off his glasses, moved to the opposite side of the table and sat down. Sly Gerry took a step confidently and smiled provocatively at the opposite side. The shot of Gerry going back and forth between the seats on both sides of the chess game lasts about twenty seconds. The two chess pieces are of different colors, and their personalities are completely different. The cunning and honesty of the two chess, the youthful glow of the cunning chess and the wrinkled face of the honest and honest chess, all form a contrast, but it is also slightly absurd. The simple and honest overhead shots and the cunning Gerry's upward shots bring out the images of the mentally handicapped and the strong. At the end of the story, the honest and honest Gerry won a big victory, and the cunning Gerry handed over his dentures in a fit of rage. The camera zooms out again, and a well-dressed old man smiles in the warm autumn sun with his arms crossed and his mouth grinning. At this time, the direction of the shadow turned 180 degrees, in contrast to the title, a day has passed.... Are you moved? The sharp sword of contrast, shattering the smile, rolling with joy and sadness.
