What kind of picture does The Old Man and the Sea depict?

Hemingway seldom expresses his feelings directly in his works, but often expresses his feelings in the scenery, integrating the scenery and pouring all the inner feelings of the old man into the ever-changing scenery description. Generally speaking, every rise and fall of the sun is in harmony with the changes in the mood of the elderly, which coincides with the progress of fishing for the elderly. At dawn, the fish was ready to act, and the old man waited with confidence. At noon, the fish began to struggle violently, and the old man was in a very nervous state; In the evening, the fish is quieter and the old man can rest. This description shows no trace, and the situation naturally changes with the scene. From the specific details, it touched the scene. For example, "the wind keeps blowing and turns slightly to the northeast, which he knows means that the wind will not calm down." The old man looked ahead, but he couldn't see the sails, the boat and the smoke from the boat. Only flying fish came from the bow. There are clusters of yellow Sargassum. He can't even see a bird. " This is a negative description of the scenery. It seems that there is no scenery, but there is actually a scenery. How much the old man wants to see all this. He was so lonely, but he couldn't see anything, so he fell in love.

The application of painting and photography. The color of The Old Man and the Sea is mainly dim, which is consistent with its tragic theme. The oil paintings presented to us by the author, with the colors of sea black, dark black and deep blue as the background, have a deep sense of shadow, highlight the spotlight effect, make the main image bright and eye-catching, and produce a three-dimensional effect; At the same time, the contrasting white clouds and snow peaks are chosen far from the sea, with bright colors and eye-catching feeling; Choose the vibrant green coast and light blue hills as the sideline of the sea to produce a soft feeling; The colorful light column is selected as the central color of the sea, which has a strong reflective effect, and the whole picture suddenly becomes bright, and the dark color turns to the middle color, resulting in a lively and lively feeling; Coupled with the reflection of the moon, the flight of birds and the hovering of eagles, it forms an exquisite fishing map, which is also in harmony with the difficult fishing style of the elderly, plays a role in rendering, achieves a perfect unity and shows the personality characteristics of the elderly.

In addition, the visual image produced by The Old Man and the Sea has a strong sense of picture, which is inseparable from the author's application of some film techniques. At the beginning of the work, a close-up shot was used to show the sail and the old man's face. The close-up is best reflected in the details of the old man's fish food: "One fish food goes down to a depth of 40 inches, and the second fish food goes down to a depth of 75 inches. The third and fourth fishermen were sent to the bottom of the sea 100 inch and 125 inch respectively. " The action of releasing the fishing line one by one is so careful and true. The illusion shows the whole picture, that is, a picture of sailing and fishing. The inner monologue in The Old Man and the Sea replaced the dialogue. When the old man went out to sea alone, he just talked to himself. Just like the voice-over effect in the film, the montage splicing technique has also been properly used here. When the old man was very tired, in order to increase his confidence, he recalled the scene when he was young. In a pub, he had an arm-wrestling contest with the strongest black dock porter and won. This splicing is natural and appropriate, and he has the premise of existence: this is the situation that he thinks of the game when his left hand is cramped and his right hand is injured, which accords with the psychology of the old man at this moment, so it is reasonable to have such an association. This makes the story coherent and unified, and it also increases.
