A little Vientiane | A movie poster with only one "symbol". People who love movies will definitely appreciate movie posters. From the early hand painting to the present, movie posters have been endowed with more and more artistic and cultural connotations in addition to propaganda functions. A movie often has several posters with different expressions, and the artistic style of these posters has also become a side of the film's artistry.
Posters should belong to abstract art and condense the essence of a movie on a plane. When simplicity is pursued to the extreme, movie posters enter another artistic space. MinimalArt, as the acme of artistic abstract expression, shows the original thing itself or form, and abstracts everything into symbols and lines after removing redundant elements, colors, shapes and textures. Minimalist movie posters also adhere to this style, and strive to use the simplest graphics and colors to explain the impression of the movie, and express the core concept and spirit of the whole movie through concise and representative logos, and convey the most distinctive theme and characteristics of the movie.
Points, lines, simple color blocks and shapes constitute the symbols of minimalist movie posters. Compared with those posters with complex images, bright colors and complex composition, minimalist posters can better reflect the designer's unique view of film art-that is, the image "totem" composed of the simplest elements is full of imagination, and the simpler the film, the more fatal it is. The extreme point of minimalist posters is that there is only one "symbol", which is either the key prop of the film, or the representative details, or some obscure metaphors. No matter how expressed, the film itself will be achieved.
In 1960s, Richard fleischer directed the sci-fi movie Fantastic Journey, which tells the story of how several doctors entered the human body through miniature to perform cardiovascular surgery, and showed the internal scenes of the human body with magical creativity. On the surface, the dots in the poster symbolize human blood vessels and a "miniature" state. On the philosophical level, the microscopic exploration of the human body is no different from the macroscopic exploration of the vast universe. Red symbolizes the infinite universe, and the poster picture reflects the theme of the film-human beings are the center of the universe.
Hitchcock is an elegant thriller, which tells the story of birds attacking humans on a large scale. The poster doesn't have the dark feeling when the bird strikes, and even removes all the elements that should belong to the thriller poster, leaving only a few lines with different angles. Lines vividly represent the wires and brackets of birds' lives, and they seem to be the abstractions of rows of birds. The lines also take care of the bird cage and the house sealed with wooden boards, symbolizing the cage. From the perspective of composition, the imbalance caused by diagonal lines will give people a feeling of emotional anxiety, which is the foreshadowing of the film atmosphere and Hitchcock-style visual prediction.
Chaplin's first film with sound satirized Nazism and Hitler sharply in the form of comedy, and its historical significance is far greater than the film itself. Minimalist posters, like handy black squares, vividly show Hitler's distinctive beard and reach a certain height in the use of black humor.
This film is Scorsese's most landmark work. The story happened in new york after the Vietnam War. This is a chaotic era, and people generally doubt the American spirit. It is in this loneliness that the protagonist Laves urgently seeks his own value-to assassinate the presidential candidate. The symbol in the poster is an abstract painting of the head of the protagonist Laves Mohigans. This hairstyle with great significance of the times was cut when Laves decided to assassinate him, which is not only the characteristic shaping of his image, but also a metaphor for the society at that time.
Among the numerous posters of Jaws and Titanic, these two posters are not the most creative and impactful, but they are also concise and abstract enough. The triangle in the poster of Jaws represents shark fins, while the white triangle in the poster of Titanic not only looks like the bow of Titanic, but also symbolizes the iceberg that brings disaster.
The three minimalist circles are given different symbols in different movies. The red circle in Total Memory represents the desolate and lonely red Mars where the story takes place. In the poster of Dune, the yellow circle represents the sand-filled planet Kaleidan, while orange represents the color of the desert. The abstract poster is in harmony with this bizarre stream of consciousness movie. In Quentin's "Pulp Fiction" poster, the red dot represents the classic bridge segment of "red dot on the chest".
In the science fiction movies of 1930s, the imagination was bold and strange. An ambitious scientist invented an invisible drug, but he couldn't recover it after his own experiment. He became an invisible killer while studying the antidote in a remote town inn. The protagonist has always been in an "invisible" state, and he has hardly shown his face in the film. There is only one collar in the poster, which seems to prove that there is indeed a "person" there.
"clockwork orange" is used to describe the strangest thing, and in the movie "clockwork orange", both Alice, the protagonist in the story, and the plot itself are so bizarre. The poster is an orange with false eyelashes upside down, which is an abstraction of the classic image of the protagonist and symbolizes the distortion, exaggeration and grotesque of the film.
A story about whether religion can exorcise demons. In western religions, moral constraints limit the evil parts of human nature. Once the binding force is weakened, the darkest things in human nature will multiply. In the film, even the priest is possessed by demons, so can God be trusted? The inverted cross in the poster symbolizes the subversion of religion by the evil of human nature.
Edward is a robot with only scissorhands, but his short warmth endures eternal loneliness. The poster is a cured poster, and a band-aid symbolizes the scar on Edward's face and the accidental injury he didn't mean to bring to others. He may finally get the best protection from his relatives.
Minimalist posters are often composed of simple visual elements and colors. Minimalist symbols are used to open the viewer's imagination of the movie, or we need to constantly imagine and guess the connotation of the poster, or we can see at a glance that this is a movie through some distinctive symbols. For experienced fans, these are probably the charm of minimalist posters.
Pulp Fiction (I) is a violent movie story, which was released in the same year as natural born killers. 1994, which was released in Pulp Fiction directed by quentin tarantino. This is Quentin's second influential work. His Reservoir Dogs has made the audience feel the unusual narrative style. Although this narrative style dare not say unprecedented and rock-breaking, it is really rare in previous films. Quentin broke the linear narrative style, poking fun at seemingly chaotic story fragments in a unique, wonderful and alternative way, and then splicing them into a post-modern black funny ukiyo-e painting with mixed sadness and joy.
What makes Pulp Fiction interesting is not only the perverse and wanton narrative skills, but also the ubiquitous ridicule of violence, sex and drug abuse, and more importantly, the wonderful, sharp and accurate lines. Some lines in the play will make everyone who likes this movie bow their heads and wonder what kind of screenwriter can come up with such a bizarre and humorous dialogue after watching the movie!
At the beginning of the film, the picture seems quite soft. "White Rabbit" and "Little Pumpkin", a seemingly ordinary young couple, were sitting in an ordinary coffee shop in Los Angeles, and then the audience realized that they were as desperate as Bonnie and Clyde and were plotting an upcoming robbery plan. The target of the robbery was the coffee shop where they ate. From their conversation, we can know that this is a very common robbery among them. More precisely, judging from their carefree expressions, robbery seems to be a part of their daily life, just like going to the toilet after eating a full meal. Tim Roth's "Pumpkin" and amanda plummer's girlfriend "White Rabbit" discussed their plans and "lines" to be said, then leaned in and kissed each other's lips affectionately, then jumped on the table with a revolver in their hands and shouted, "Robbery! Nobody moves. If anyone moves, I'll fucking shoot him! "
However, unlike the violent movies we often see, the story of the robbery didn't go on, and the camera turned into two killers, samuel jackson and john Travolta, sitting in an old Chevrolet car and chatting. Samuel jackson told his companion john Travolta what he had seen and heard in Holland. "Vincent, do you know? They eat French fries without ketchup and with mayonnaise! " "My God!" John travolta's Vincent exclaimed!
The two of them are actually carrying out the task assigned by a gang boss, looking for the property stolen by traitors in the gang, and then using gang means to make traitors bear the "consequences" they deserve. They are like "black and white impermanence" in China's mythology in the underworld, performing the tasks of "taking people" and "killing people" entrusted by "Rebecca". They chatted, paced and even argued, got out of the car and walked into an apartment. They came to the traitor's room and found the gangster's stolen goods calmly and neatly. Then, samuel jackson read aloud the Bible and retaliated against "those who poisoned and destroyed my brother". After a shot, the whole room was calm and they finished the task.
At this time, Quentin left a "button" for the film, that is "Apocalypse". Who would have thought that a guy hiding in the bathroom rushed out with a gun, screaming in horror, and swept away the "black and white impermanence" after the execution of the "French Open", but just after he finished sweeping, samuel jackson turned around and saw bullet holes everywhere on the wall behind him, but he was unscathed! At this point, the film is full of shady scenes.
The shady scene is over, and "White Impermanence" john Travolta is killing time with the gangster's girlfriend uma thurman. The two of them came to a restaurant called "Hare", which is a retro restaurant with an old interior decoration. The wall is covered with movie posters from 1950s, and the huge poster of 1958 movie Revenge of the Giants hangs high on the wall. It is a sexy blonde standing on the overpass with her legs crossed in a short skirt and swollen underwear, which makes this restaurant reveal its sexy and confusing side all the time.
The seats in the dining room were modified from cars of that era. In the center of the restaurant is the dance floor, and the huge "no shoes" notice is obvious. The waiter's dress imitates the movie idols of that era. Have a plenty of Marilyn Monroe, have a plenty of james deen, and even gnome actor. John Travolta and uma thurman found a modified seat of a 1959 red Aizer car. They ordered "bloody" steak, vanilla cola, milkshake, and then smoked their own cigarettes. Uman Thurman's intoxicated expression, free eyes, red nails and lipstick blend into the whole restaurant style.
This restaurant and everything it stands for were originally the most vulgar part of American secular culture, but under Quentin's lens, everything vulgar has been sublimated, becoming different, fashionable and refreshing. At this time, a retro wind music came from the record player. Uma thurman said to john travolta, "I want to dance". They walked into the dance floor hand in hand. A middle-aged host with a long history and a hunchback but well-dressed came forward to introduce their names to the audience in the restaurant. Then, uma thurman and john Travolta took off their shoes and slowly came to the center of the dance floor.
This dance is so classic that Stephen Chow also imitated it in the movie "Amazing Stars". In the music of Chuck Berry's "YouNeverCanTell", the two danced, and the dance was full of funny, but it just made the audience want to stop. Uma thurman's eyes have lost their wandering just now. On the contrary, the flame of anger seems to penetrate the hearts of all men in the world. The pretty short black hair keeps swinging, and the white shirt makes people return to their youth when they first fell in love. But red sexy lips and red feet stained with red nails are swaying, which indicates that any man who faces her will immediately face an erotic trap. It may also be because of their wonderful dance. 1 1 years later, they co-produced a specious psychedelic in "Let it cool to the end". It's just that the background music of that scene became the ambiguous song of black eyed peas, while john Travolta became more mature and the middle-aged dance became deeper.
No matter how uma thurman seduced herself, john travolta dared not think wrong, because she was the boss's woman. Once someone had just massaged her feet and was killed by her boss. This lesson made john travolta "white impermanent" beware of fear. However, even if he didn't move the slightest idea, something was wrong. Uma thurman almost died of an overdose. If John hadn't taken the risk of injecting renal hormone into her heart, I'm afraid he would have been just like that unlucky guy who massaged his feet. This paragraph, not only the picture is tense and exciting, but also the lines are wonderful. When John Travolta came to the drug dealer's house with uma thurman in urgent need of help, the drug dealer Lance called to stop him.
"Don't bring her! I'm not fucking kidding. Don't bring me a mess. " John travolta replied, "I have no fucking place to go!" Lance asked, "Is she dead?" "Almost!" Lance simply said, "Then you will be shot!" " ! Now you should take her to the hospital and get yourself a good lawyer. "john travolta said," No! " Lance almost cried and said, "I tell you, I didn't cause her any trouble." You are responsible for what you did to her! "Are you talking to me on your mobile phone? ! By the way, I don't know you. Who are you? Don't come, I hang up! "
