Roman Holiday >> is a pure black and white film. I am used to seeing these seven colors, without the colorful, black and white is a kind of pure beauty without artificiality; the superb photography art of the film is also a success example. Under the action of aerial photography, the Rococo-style castle, the luxurious carriage, the military band, the central square... all showed the audience a beautiful and spectacular picture. The unique architectural momentum of Rome, the historically prosperous ancient city and the place where the romantic love story takes place on the screen, is once again displayed to the public. Through the superb use of the camera during the princess's play, on the one hand, it clearly expresses the beautiful scenes of the characters' activities. At the same time, it also perfectly expresses the customs and characteristic architecture of Rome, a prosperous city in the world, especially the wide-angle lens used in front of the "Mouth of Truth" in the Colosseum Cave, which skillfully combines the activities of the characters with the grandeur of the building. .

The camera was frozen at that moment, and her eyes were filled with reluctance, loneliness, tenderness, and more full of endless love. A full 70 After a long shot of seconds, the end slowly surfaced on the screen.
