How to understand the rhetoric of language art

Metaphor is a rhetorical method that makes use of the similarity of things to compare things A with things B, thus making things B vivid, infectious and persuasive. The essence of metaphor is to make use of the similarity of things. As a vehicle, things are uncertain, which makes metaphor fuzzy, fuzzy and rich, which is convenient for readers to understand in many directions. Because metaphor appeals to images, it makes thinking poetic and rational, thus making the film language full of some intentionality, and the audience can trigger similar associations when watching the image of the film, so as to enjoy beauty.

Color is an important factor in the visual effect of modern movies. It is a subjective deepening of the graphic principle and expressive. In movies, it seems that more emphasis is placed on expressing the psychological tendencies of characters, such as emotions and wishes. Therefore, color focuses more on expanding the psychological space of movies. Color is a traditional means of artistic expression, which mainly plays a metaphorical role. In "Golden Flower in the City", there are some pictures: thousands of chrysanthemums have just been placed in the place where the Double Ninth Festival celebration was held. In fact, this place is the scene where many eunuchs just finished cleaning up the bloody rebels headed by the second prince and were killed by the king. This chrysanthemum is not only a decoration, but also has a metaphorical meaning: such a secretive behavior is just a lingering, and the whole dynasty has been terminally ill. The seemingly prosperous feudal dynasty was actually based on the sacrifice of many innocent lives. Therefore, such prosperity must be short-lived and unsustainable.

Metaphor appeals to images, making thinking poetic and rational, thus making the picture full of some intentionality. My father and mother described a little girl running on a winding road in the country. This running movie has a large scene space and left a deep impression on the audience. This road is significant. On the long road in the countryside, there is a girl running with her own cooking, conveying her love. She is chasing her beloved and waiting for her beloved. There is no need for direct verbal dialogue, only wordless action and wordless waiting. Road is a rhetorical metaphor of connection, representing hope. This is a promising road, because as long as there is this road, the beloved will definitely come back; As long as there is this road, the girl is connected with him.

Metaphor connects the natural scenes or objects in the movie as the objects of analogy with the pictures showing narrative factors in the play, thus naturally producing an implied meaning. In The Corner Forgotten by Love, there is an empty shot inserted into the barn upstairs after Cunni committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, which plays a good metaphorical role. Because the moving scene in this empty shot seems to have the slightly shaking sieve, which seems to indicate that Cunni has just left the barn. At this time, it aroused the emotional waves of the audience and evoked infinite associations with Cunni's tragic fate. This is an empty corner full of tragedy, but it was once a beautiful place where little leopards fell in love with each other. This is an empty shot full of metaphor and originality, which shows the backwardness and ignorance of this corner and is the root of Cunni's tragic fate, thus deepening the theme of the film.

Metaphor can make the film language vivid and concrete, and also make the profound and complicated truth easy to understand, so it plays an important role in the vividness, vividness and artistry of the film language.

(2) Symbol

Symbol is a rhetorical device that does not directly describe things, but expresses some abstract things (or things) with some concrete things (or things) with the help of association according to some connection between things. It can make the film works grand, euphemistic and subtle. Symbolism can turn some abstract spiritual qualities into concrete and perceptible images, thus leaving a deep impression on readers and giving profound meaning to works, thus leaving readers room to chew and remember. The artistic effects of symbols are: intriguing, giving people a feeling of endless artistic conception; The implication is profound, which can enrich people's association, give people a concise and vivid sense of reality and express sincere feelings.

In contemporary movies, color is widely used as a symbol of meaning. The Story of Qiu Ju describes that when Qiu Ju goes to court step by step, pepper accompanies her to court, and pepper is exchanged for her travel expenses. Pepper is symbolic. Qiu Ju is an ordinary and ordinary rural woman, but in order to get a statement, she is determined to complain at all levels, not to avoid difficulties, and never give up until she reaches her goal. The fiery red pepper symbolizes Qiuju's simple and stubborn character and her strong and heroic side, thus showing the personality charm of this ordinary rural woman.

Symbolism can also be achieved through the combination of pictures or sounds. It is symbolic to get enough concrete objects to emphasize the picture in the film narrative process. Eisenstein's "October" describes these pictures: the Aphrodite cruiser fired the first shot, and the Winter Palace was surrounded, but no fighting scenes were seen. Then only the gorgeous chandeliers in the palace were shaking. On the one hand, this gorgeous chandelier symbolizes the crown of the supreme tsar, because its thousands of sparkling and dazzling crystals seem to symbolize the crown as jewelry. On the one hand, the chandelier is shaking. The magnificent chandelier began to shake. Thousands of crystal lamp holders are shining and swinging back and forth. These swaying chandeliers symbolize the panic of the entire Russian nobility and bourgeoisie. It has brought great shock to the audience, and nothing is more exciting than this. On the one hand, the swing of the lamp is getting bigger and bigger, the hook of the chandelier is loose, and cracks appear in the ceiling, which is getting bigger and bigger. Then, this magnificent and exquisite gadget finally landed. The falling chandelier symbolizes the end of the czar's rule.

In the film narrative mechanism, vehicles also carry the implied meaning of symbols. The French film Angel A starts from the bridge and ends at the bridge. In real life, bridge, as a kind of building that is beneficial to traffic, has the function of connection and communication. The scene selection of Andre and Bridge in the film symbolizes the communication between Andre and Angel Angela, as well as the communication between Andre and the outside world. The former is the communication between human nature and divinity, while the latter is the communication between human nature and the real world. In his previous life, Andre didn't believe in angels and miracles. When he was ready to die by diving, he looked up at the sky and asked the sky, "Is this what you want to see?" This bridge is also the beginning and return of Andre's repeated calls for help. The first two attempts to seek help from the real world ended in failure, which is the failure of communication between human nature and the real world; The last two times, Andre got Angela's help and finally kept Angela. This is the success of communication between human nature and divinity. There is no necessary connection between the ontological meaning and symbolic meaning of a symbol, but the film artist will remind the audience of this and that by highlighting the characteristics of the ontological things, so as to understand the symbolic meaning that the film artist wants to express.

Symbol is an implicit, subtle and euphemistic artistic skill, which can make readers have a pleasant aesthetic feeling and artistic conception of poetry. It expresses some abstract concepts or thoughts and feelings through a concrete image, which can show more profound and moving significance, let readers experience and think, and let readers get the meaning and enjoyment of beauty.

(3) Comparison

Comparing two opposing and relative things or two opposing and relative aspects of a thing together to highlight the characteristics of both sides is called contrast or contrast.

The application of contrast method in movies is conducive to fully highlighting the essential characteristics of things and expressing the contradictions of things, thus strengthening the artistic effect and appeal of movies. Basan and her brothers and sisters often alternate and contrast traditional and modern scenes, such as standing religious classics and numerous TV antennas, people bowing and kowtowing and speeding motorcycles, old women who turn over menstruation to atone for their sins and girls who dance disco, thus creating a clever juxtaposition in visual modeling. These pictures combine the changes of ancient and modern times in an instant, reveal the irresistible historical characteristics of the cross-changes of the times, and artistically and vividly reproduce the social and historical reality of the struggle between modern civilization and ancient traditions. (Original Author: Huang Xiaoping Xie Zhixiang) Contrast shows the essence of things through comparison, making the bad look worse and the good look better. Make the theme of the film work more profound and the image more vivid, thus giving the audience a strong emotional impact. The ending of "The Voice of the Country" is described as follows: first, the monotonous "squeaking" sound of the unicycle on the mountain road, the dull impact of the mallet in the oil mill, and then the huge roar of the train. The interweaving and interweaving of the three natural acoustics forms a strong contrast, conveying poetry and meaning-this closed and backward mountain village will be broken by the pace of development of the times, bringing people advanced scientific civilization and earth-shaking changes in the mountain village.

Contrastive rhetoric in movies makes people identify in comparison and think in identification, leaving a deep and vivid impression on people. Make the image of the film works more vivid and prominent, make the theme more profound and moving, and give people a strong feeling.

(4) repeatedly

Reuse the same words, sentences or paragraphs, etc. Or repeat or echo continuously before and after to highlight some emotion and emphasize some idea, which is called repetition. [ 1]

The use of repetition in movies can fully express the ideas of the works, emphasize the emotions of the works, and enhance the momentum of the movies. The Soviet film "Country Woman Teacher" clearly and successfully shows the progress and changes of decades with the empty picture of the gradual change of Chatreix village and the growth of three pine trees. With the empty pictures of village changes and pine tree growth, these empty pictures clearly, simply, naturally, succinctly and meaningfully show the long years of decades, show the growth and development process of the protagonist in a hierarchical and rhythmic way, and have a strong artistic charm. In film creation, the application of repetition can make the scenes as concentrated as possible appear and be repeatedly applied, which is helpful to promote and deepen the drama conflict, make the environment clearer, convey the philosophy in life, integrate philosophy into the life of the film, and make the audience see the artistic life full of meaning and inspiration.

Repeated expression of strong feelings in repeated singing makes the picture of the film orderly, cyclical, ups and downs, full of the neat beauty and majestic beauty of the film language.

At the end of Yellow Land, there are a series of repeated short shots: the repetition of character modeling and environmental modeling, which describes the image (character modeling) of a child (character modeling) coming firmly in the turbulent crowd (environmental modeling) and rolling dust (environmental modeling). These repeated short shots highlight the image of a thin and struggling lonely child, showing the passion and significance of a new life and new hope.

Repeated rhetorical devices and artistic application in movies can make movies have poetic charm, poetic atmosphere and poetic artistic conception.

(5) personification

Personification is a rhetorical method to describe things as adults, which endows people's feelings, actions, States and languages to the described objects and enhances the appeal of works. Can be more colorful; Make the ideographic characters richer. Then the emotional color is more vivid, making things more vivid and intimate.

The Lion King is about the theme of family lineage and revenge. It describes the story of a little lion named Simba who exercised himself in a hard living environment, made himself strong, defeated his usurped uncle and finally returned to the throne of the king. This is the transplantation of the prototype of Revenge of the Prince from the animal kingdom. The lion is a symbol of the strong, matching the human prince. This anthropomorphic technique makes the animals described so kind, vivid and thought-provoking.

The personification in cartoons is the most powerful portrayal of the simplicity, vividness and visualization of animal characters, that is, the process of humanizing animals, giving people personality characteristics and conveying the meaning of human society to the audience. Through personification, the fundamental value of these maverick animals active in the screen is expressed: let the audience find the bright spot of human nature from the naive animal images.

(6) Set out

Use related, opposite and similar things to contrast and contrast from the side, so that the object to be expressed is more distinct and prominent. This rhetorical device is called foil. The foil is implicit and euphemistic in expression, which makes the theme more vivid.

Music is often used to set off characters or strengthen themes in movies. The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 used pipa playing or sound as a foil to set off the evolution and development of character events. When Deng Shichang was actively preparing for the war according to the command of the Beiyang Navy's prefect and worried about the fate of the "Gao Shenghao", he accidentally received an order from oversight to shut down the whole fleet. Deng Shichang was puzzled, so he rushed to the prefect government alone to inquire. At this time, the movie screen only followed Deng Shichang's anxious footsteps with the rapid "sweeping the strings" sound of the pipa, and there was no dialogue or narration, but this pipa sound vividly conveyed Deng Shichang's anxiety about the uncertain fate of Qian Qian's 100 thousand army soldiers contained in Gao Shenghao. Setting off the artistic conception with the sound of pipa is the crowning touch in the film Wu Jia Storm, and it is an ingenious stroke.

The technique of contrast can render and highlight the theme, make its image vivid and the theme vivid, and give people a deep feeling. In the Russian film "Return", Ivan clashed with his father, was driven out of the car and left on the side of the road. In the photo, Ivan stands alone on the bridge. Under the bridge is a silver river. On the grassy river bank, several telephone poles stand obliquely from far to near. But these poles in the picture are in harmony with the horizontal and neat bridge railings and roadblocks. This discordant picture just sets off Ivan's inner grievances and pains when he was abandoned by his father on the roadside.

The use of film language can render the subject's thoughts and feelings, highlight the subject's image and make it vivid and touching.

Rhetorical artistic conception of film language

Artistic conception refers to the mood and realm shown in film art, which is a poetic space with the combination of reality and reality, active life rhythm and endless charm in film works. Artistic conception is one of the basic categories of artistic dialectics and an important subject of aesthetics. Artistic conception is an artistic realm that organically combines the meaning of subjective category with the realm of objective category. "Meaning" is the unity of emotion and reason, and "environment" is the unity of form and god. "Artistic conception" is formed in the process of mutual infiltration and mutual restriction between reason, form and spirit.

"The scenery is heartless and the emotion is lifeless" shows the charm of China's artistic spirit, and forms the characteristics and style of China's film scene blending. Through beautiful pictures: spring grass, summer rain, autumn leaves and winter morning, Old Things in the South of the City shows what Xiaoying saw and heard in the process of growing up. Deliberate and elegant pictures in the scene are intentional, affectionate and intertwined. The color is unpretentious, subtle and profound, calm and elegant, and the picture strives to pursue the blending of "emotion" and "scenery" from various sports to express the artistic conception full of life philosophy. The film "Yellow Land" has made a new exploration in the shaping of artistic conception. Its image composition is an image modeling image, which has a high degree of realism and realism. It completely integrates man and nature, and expresses an ancient legend with simple yellow-black and flat modeling images such as the Yellow River, land, ploughing, waist drum and praying for rain. The Yellow Land combines the physical environment (the landscape of the Yellow River and the yellow land), the situation (the survival of the characters) and the artistic conception (the expression of the creator's consciousness) to construct the artistic conception beauty of the image and create the profound meaning of the "environment" in the film Born Beyond the Image.

At the end of Late Spring, the father comes home from his daughter's wedding alone, sitting in a chair and peeling an apple ... This is a silent long shot, and the audience can feel the meaning and artistic conception in this simple lens language. These long shots transform flowing physical time into meditation in an artistic way, using "light and silence"

The combination of reality and reality is to deal with the real world under the control of the virtual world, which is manifested through the real world. The last scene of "The Story of Qiu Ju": Qiu Ju, wearing a red scarf and a red cotton-padded jacket, looks at the jeep carrying the police and the village head in the distance, and her eyes are confused. The red scarf and cotton-padded jacket against the vast white snow show Qiu Ju's stubborn and firm character. In the unity of picture and emotion, color and scene, there is a sense of life beyond "image" The extension and sublimation of the meaning beyond the painting shown in this picture is the artistic conception art of China's traditional aesthetics. [2] The last paragraph of "My Mom and Dad": My son stepped onto the platform where his father worked for decades and gave his father the last lesson. At this time, the pictures of young father, adult son, young mother and old mother are constantly overlapping and juxtaposing, the color tone of real time and space and the black and white tone of recalling time and space, and the son-led voice and the father-led voice form a "modeling symphony" with continuous ups and downs of hearing and vision. These most "psychological brilliance" fragments are coordinated together with infectious artistic techniques, which naturally creates a poetic artistic conception in which reality and reality coexist. The rhetoric art of film language follows China's unique classical aesthetics of poetry and painting, and pays close attention to the unique artistic features of China's poetry and painting, such as the combination of reality and reality, the blending of scenes, simplicity and ethereal, implicit lyricism and freehand brushwork.

China's artistic ideas of "shaping with objects, giving images with objects" and "mirror born outside the image, seeing infinity in the limited" and the blank space of traditional painting, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of China's literature, drama, sculpture, gardens, architecture and other artistic forms, were fully applied to film creation, and finally formed a unique artistic style of spatial aesthetics, which showed the beauty and charm of traditional aesthetics and China culture on the screen.

The artistic conception of film language is an art form to show the beauty of life itself, and it is an art that integrates artistic conception with the realm of the universe. Because the universe itself is a life form, the author's experience of the realm of the universe is an experience of the rhythm of life, and artistic conception is precisely the expression of this rhythm of life. Although the artist's heart is small, it can hold the whole universe. In fact, the artist's heart itself is the creation of the universe, and he can reflect the aura of the universe and the poetic heart of the universe. Therefore, the artistic conception of film language is a psychological phenomenon and a life rhythm of human mind.

The essence of the rhetoric art of film language lies in the best realization of the film creator's own rhetoric intention, the inheritance and display of the traditional cultural spirit, and the pursuit of effective acceptance and recognition of the audience. In this way, the purpose of spreading the value and aesthetic implication of traditional cultural spirit by film language is realized.

Film language attracts the audience's audio-visual senses in a direct way. It is intuitive, concrete, vivid and vivid, and has a strong artistic appeal. The rhetorical art of film language can make people get entertainment through movies, and at the same time enjoy poetic lyricism, philosophical spark, artistic charm, rhythm and melody of life; Can produce soul-stirring artistic effect and deeper artistic appeal; Can give the film more unspeakable and inexhaustible meaning and spirit. Let mankind have more expectations and expectations for the future of this art form.

The rhetoric art of film language shows the poetic spirit produced by the artistic world, which is related to the world we live in. At the same time, it allows us to relive the real life world and explore the meaning of the life world we don't know through reading the film works, thus providing us with the source of spiritual habitation in the generation and enlightenment of poetic spirit.
