GOTH: Indulge in darkness and yearn for light.
The word goth is interpreted by Baidu Encyclopedia as: the first name from a tribe. It is not certain whether this is the case, after all, there is no history. I feel that Goth's attitude is that he is hopelessly addicted to everything that is opposite to light, such as darkness, death and cruelty, but this addiction is not an ordinary addiction, but is associated with arrogance, indifference, loneliness, fragility and even kindness. But at the same time, GOTH also has a strong yearning for light, but this yearning is wrapped in layers of dark bread, and GOTH will never show this yearning, because in Goth's artistic style: darkness is noble, true and permanent. Even if the light is beautiful, it is only short-lived and fragile, and some of them are hypocritical. The hypocritical bright side is the ugliest in GOTH's eyes. The light watered by darkness will grow into the original appearance of light. Only the light wrapped in darkness will feel safe, strong and true. The bare bright side is just fragile glass.
Obsessed with darkness and longing for light, GOTH is an artistic style full of contradictions. However, it is probably this unique Goth style that attracts many people's attention and develops in various fields.
As a pioneer of science fiction and a master of horror novels, Edgar Allan shows Gothic style through his writing, but I haven't read any of his articles ... Besides, I think Hitchcock's works are equally GOTH. Among the words I have read, Huang Junlang's lyrics, like "In the Name of Father", I think belong to this category, such as these: the dusty family emblem, I wiped it all night, and I only understood the feeling of loneliness. On the window lattice, the owl looks across the distance and leads to the corridor deep in the hall, which has unspeakable vicissitudes. There is no noise, only peace. I fell asleep slowly, and it was just dawn. There is also Chapter 7 of the Night: the facts can only be worn, the soil without footprints, the abrupt subtle flowers, the deliberately conspicuous clothes, everyone wears a mask to lie for different reasons, and the motivation is only one name, that is, desire. Crossing the swamp of human nature, we can forget to forgive, but we must know the truth. The last picture of the moved iron bed was finally put together. I heard footsteps, and the expected soft leather heel, he pushed open the door, the night wind shook the kerosene lamp for a while, and the typewriter stopped at the name of the murderer. I turned around, and the night sky at Westminster Abbey began to boil, blooming gorgeous death in my chest. I tasted the last sweet truth and smiled back to justice only quietly. These characters have the same style: dark, gorgeous and depressing, but some are pure, fragile and kind.
The background color of Gothic painting and photography is generally dark. Tombstones, bones, pale faces, crows, dark clouds, crosses and so on are common images. In short, it is generally impossible to find sunny in Gothic pictures. Some pictures really make people feel depressed, and it is best not to watch them when they are in a bad mood.
When it comes to Gothic films, we have to mention Hollywood's golden partners: Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, who are very good directors and actors. I saw their movie Edward Scissorhands for the first time when I was eleven or twelve years old. This film can also be said to be the pioneering work of Gothic movies. Although I didn't understand love at that time, I was deeply shocked by the film, especially Edward's eyes and the snowflakes pouring out of the castle at the end of the film. In addition to this one, there are Corpse Bride, Ghost Mother and Sleepless Valley. Listening to their names makes them feel more horrible than the last one, but most of them are actually warm and kind films. It is GOTH's consistent style to wrap beautiful things with layers of darkness and terror as appearances. I have always believed that the dark side is just a means for GOTH to protect himself from harm, not to hurt others. Light is always the true appearance of GOTH.
In music, two European bands, such as Within Temptation and Dreamtale, I think they are very nice. Dreamtale doesn't listen much, and thinks The Dawn is very good. With the MV of World of Warcraft, he also has a new name: Overture to the Dead. I've heard a lot about Within Temptation, and I feel the best about Memories, Faster and Shot in the Dark. Dark heavy metals are often full of dense drums, electric guitars and bass, but if the piano sounds are well matched, it will have a good effect, making the music less messy and not offensive to listeners (for example, I think the piano sound started at The Dawn is a model).
Gothic architecture is rare in China, but there are many abroad, especially churches. Gothic architecture often includes: tall columns, patterns, high roofs, and the roofs are covered with murals, which are often related to religion.
I think: Perhaps, rather than being paranoid about darkness, GOTH is paranoid about truth and self-protection, but there is too much distrust of light in GOTH, so he firmly believes that darkness is true. Darkness is painful, but false light is more painful, and the two evils are the least. Therefore, the desire for light is buried in the heart, surrounded by black, giving the impression that the outside world is inaccessible, but what is really afraid is GOTH itself. Therefore, many works are both dark and fragile and confused.
