They all praise the beauty of "Chaos", but no one is on the picture. I couldn't bear it, so I focused on the analysis at the beginning of the movie to see where the beauty of "Chaos" is.

One, composition beauty

A lot of white space

Kurosawa’s composition is calm and atmospheric, and at the same time paying attention to white space. Here, he gives the main content of the picture to the hills and the sky. The narrow and crowded Japan, but the hills that are not high, appear magnificent when photographed by him. The profound sense of history is ready to come out. Kurosawa also pays attention to the actor scheduling. If you look closely at the picture, you will find that the four samurai are facing four directions, so that they can observe six directions and listen to all directions. In addition to being able to effectively guard against the rigorous plot, it also allows this The still picture is a little more interesting.

Second, the color is beautiful

Use Zhang Yimou, who is also a master of color, for comparison.

"hero"
"Ambush on Ten Sides"
"Full of Golden Armor in the City"

Did you find out? Zhang Yimou’s color is very visually impactful, because his red is the full screen of red, green is the full screen of green, and gold is the full screen of gold...Compared with Kurosawa Akira, Zhang Yimou is like an explosion of color. The householder, although more exciting, but also more savage, frivolous, and shallow, don’t believe it?

In order to distinguish personality, Xiuhu’s three sons wore red, yellow and blue clothes, while Xiuhu himself wore white.
The left side is yellow and the right side is red. Above it is a raging flame. The lost Xiuhu stands in the middle, feeling sadness spontaneously.
Charged soldiers, like flowing blood

In contrast, Kurosawa knows how to match colors, know how to converge, and know how to stop. Kurosawa is more like a color noble. What about Zhang Yimou's background as a photographer? Master Akira Kurosawa used to paint oil paintings.

Three, sports beauty

A major feature of Kurosawa's movies is the unparalleled sense of movement. The following is a set of shots of Xiuhu hunting, everyone can experience it by themselves.

Fourth, the beauty of music

The soundtrack at the beginning of "Chaos" uses only drum beats and flute sounds. It is true minimalism, which highlights the national characteristics and at the same time gives the lens a sense of breathing...

I know why no one has analyzed the picture above, and I am really tired and sleeping.

Ran quotes

  • Kyoami: Are there no gods... no Buddha? If you exist, hear me. You are mischievous and cruel! Are you so bored up there you must crush us like ants? Is it such fun to see men weep?

    Tango: Enough! Do not blaspheme! It is the gods who weep. They see us killing each other over and over since time began. They can't save us from ourselves.

  • Hidetora: What madness have I spoken? Wherein lies my senility?

    Saburo Naotora Ichimonji: I'll tell you. What kind of world do we live in? One barren of loyalty and feeling.

    Hidetora: I'm aware of that.

    Saburo Naotora Ichimonji: So you should be! You spilled an ocean of blood. You showed no mercy, no pity. We too are children of this age... weaned on strife and chaos. We are your sons, yet you count on our fidelity. In my eyes, that makes you a fool. A senile old fool!
