expressionism

German expressionism expressionism. The word expressionism was originally a special term in art history and criticism, which means that nature is no longer regarded as the primary purpose of art, and lines, shapes and colors are used to express emotions and feelings, becoming the only purpose of art.

Expressionist films originated in Germany 1920. The actors, objects and scenery design in this kind of movies are all used to convey the mood and psychological state, while ignoring the original image meaning. Dr Calgary's cabin (19 19) is famous in this way.

Later, German expressionism influenced some Hollywood films in silent period and film noir in1940s, while others such as Hitchcock and orson welles were also influenced by expressionism.

The practice of going through formalities for the sake of formalities

A technique of expression in literature, art, or drama that emphasizes form and technique rather than theme. Russia, which originated from 19 15, was opposed to the traditional way of dealing with narrative materials before the Russian revolution and paid attention to the importance of artistic language forms, which gradually influenced various artistic fields at that time.

In film performance or analysis, formalism emphasizes that different application forms can change the connotation of materials, and editing, picture composition and arrangement of sound and painting elements are all the interests of formalism filmmakers, such as pudovkin and Eisenstein in the1920s.

1In the mid-1930s, Stalinism prevented the development of Russia, but it had a great influence on later structuralism and semiotics.

impressionism

Impressionism. Impressionism. 1920s, the French film creator Louis Drucker joined forces with a group of talented directors such as Abel Gance and Zhemin Drucker, and some film directors who had succeeded in commercial films, trying to reform the films made by film company owners for commercial reasons, so as to improve the French films that declined after World War I. ..

However, his efforts were not supported by the producers, and the movement failed after the death of Diluk in 1924. Some people take commercial films, others take the avant-garde road.

Because some of Delluc's theories and creative ideas are closely related to the later French avant-garde film movement, most impressionist films are regarded as the prelude of avant-garde films or directly classified as avant-garde films. His important works include The Wheel by Gunce (1922), Fever by Drucker (192 1) and Spanish Festival by Drucker (19 19).

superrealism

The surrealist film 1920 rose in France, which mainly arranged the images in a concrete and illogical way to express various states of human subconscious.

Luis Bunuel's Dog in Andalusia can be regarded as a classic of early surrealist movies.

The rise of surrealist films aims at resisting realism and traditional art. André Breton, the leader, mentioned in a declaration: "A pure automatic action of the mind, in which we try to express the real operation of our thoughts by language, writing or any other means. 」

Later, surrealism became an important source of experimental films and underground films, such as Maya Dylan and Kenneth Ange in the United States. Surrealism is not the main genre in commercial films, but only appears in the films of individual directors, such as Woody Allen.

New realism

Neo-realism: the film movement that rose in Italy after World War II. The main representatives are Rossellini, Dictya and Visconti.

Most of the themes of this kind of movies are centered around the local problems in Italy before and after World War II, and they advocate calmly and realistically presenting the lives of the middle and lower classes.

Formally, most of the new realistic films adopt real-life shooting and natural light, and use unprofessional actors to perform and describe the details of life. Compared with the pre-war closure and camouflage, the new realistic film is more like a realistic documentary without whitewashing.

However, the neo-realistic films are more concerned abroad, but there is no special response in Italy. Since the 1960s, many social problems in China have been solved due to the economic recovery and the intentional actions of the competent authorities, so the upsurge of neo-realism has gradually subsided. Paradise Cinema is his masterpiece.

Later, it was widely used, summarizing the tendency of French new film production and creation in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Many of these new directors are film critics of Movie Notes magazine, such as Gundam, Chufu, Chablo, Hou Mai and Levitt. They advocate personal originality, show a high degree of consciousness of traditional movies, and use their works to embody the style proposition of "author theory", which is quite different from traditional movies in both theme and technique.

Traditional film types and Hollywood director styles are mixed together, and new splicing and structural forms are tried. Because they emphasize the freedom of shooting, they often shoot only by the outline script, and like improvisation and spontaneous shooting. However, its theme is existentialism. For example, Aaron Reynet's Love in Hiroshima and Gundam's The Dead are all such films.
