Ask to introduce the film "Gertrude"

Focus: the composition of interior painting style

By Danish painter William? Influenced by Hammerhuy's indoor painting, Carl Theodor Dreyer's film composition is quite indoor painting style. Take Gechu (1964) as an example.

Plane frame. Hammershuy's paintings are composed of horizontal and vertical lines, which embodies the formal beauty of geometry and tends to be flat in composition. In Gertrude, Derel's lens movement tends to be fixed, but the characters move horizontally, which also has a similar flattening effect. For example, when the conversation between husband and wife begins, the two people shuttle in the horizontal space and change their positions. The camera is like an observer, always keeping a distance from them; In the slow, flowing long shot, there are still gaps and pauses in the dialogue, which all show the effect of separation and provide the audience with rational thinking.

Simple and meaningful scenery. In Derel's films, the scenery is simple and the layers are distinct. The decoration of the room reflects the owner's personality and plot trend. For example, the couple's home looks tall but lacks warmth, which also reveals the reasons for Ge Chu's divorce. The pianist's home is dreamy, with a feeling of unreality and falsehood. As the environment renders, the pianist is just a phoenix man. Ge Chu's home is warm and comfortable, which shows that she has finally found herself. The biggest difference between home and home is that they present different body feelings, which also explains the change of Gechu's position and mood in different homes (or the awakening of self-consciousness).

What the door means and what it means. Through the doors of different rooms (or homes), the picture space is extended and the image meaning is expanded. The door has become a channel to connect the future, and it is also a reflection of the mood of the hostess Ge Chu. Take the couple dialogue bridge at the beginning as an example. Behind them is a door left unlocked, which seems to indicate an ethereal future. Ge Chu accompanied her husband to attend the event. When singing, there was a cold husband in front and a fake lover's door behind him. Gechu was wrapped up, seemingly having a choice before and after, but it was a dead end. She fainted in pain, and this door strengthened Gertrude's dilemma and embarrassment. Ge Chu chatted with her husband in front of this door, and when she caught up with her ex-boyfriend, closing the door symbolized Ge Chu's determination not to look back.

In addition, this simple and cold aesthetic style of interior painting is also presented in the words of the scourge and the scourge. In this aesthetic situation, women can calmly and objectively think about their own situation, break through the imprisonment and find themselves, so as to explore women's self-worth.
