Which movie in Zhang Yimou impressed you deeply?

Zhang Yimou's films have won many international awards, and Zhang Yimou is also a very famous international director. Zhang Yimou's film works include Red Sorghum, Ju Dou, Raise the Red Lantern, Alive, Story of Autumn Chrysanthemum, Riding a Thousand Miles Alone, No One Can Be Little, Happy Time, My Mom and Dad, Hero and many other highly regarded films.

Of course, these films are excellent both in aesthetics and photography, because Zhang Yimou loves photography very much. He studied photography at the Beijing Film Academy. Then when he was making a movie, he used photography to express his unique style. Like the red lanterns hung high inside, the overall style is red and black contrast, which implies the theme of the film and is the fate of women in the feudal environment.

In the movie Ju Dou, color is also used to express women's feelings. When women are ambiguous, they will be expressed in red, and when women are disappointed, they will be expressed in gray, so this is also Zhang Yimou's unique color montage technique.

There is also the tone of the whole film "None Less", which also shows the poverty of this village in the film. Children wearing red cotton-padded jackets occasionally stand on the yellow soil, which makes the local customs more rich and makes the audience feel the strong northern Shaanxi customs.

But among these films, my favorite is "To Be Alive" directed by Zhang Yimou. First of all, the photography of "Living" highlights the sense of time in the Republic of China with gray and brown tones. But what moved me most was the story structure in Alive, which was adapted from Yu Hua's novel Alive. The novel basically restores Yu Hua's original intention, and the master Fu Gui played by Ge You is very similar to the role in the original. Anyone who has read this novel will be conquered by Ge You's acting skills.

Zhang Yimou used his excellent photography skills to express the novel "To Be Alive" in three tones, which makes people feel that this long story has become layered.
