First dream: The fox marries a relative
The color contrast in this dream mainly includes: chiaroscuro, such as the bright clothes and night of the little boy in the same picture
Cold and warm contrast: For example, in the same picture, the fox marries the woman in the kiss of the white and red turban man
Area comparison: For example, the little boy chooses white clothes, and the small one, compared to the large area of darkness, emphasizes the horror of the huge - even his mother is part of the darkness.
In the first dream, there is a deep sense of anxiety, anxiety after making mistakes, which anyone has when they were young, and things that seem small now will be big things when they are young.
Finally, the dark gray gate was tightly closed, and the little boy walked out of the house with a short knife, followed by a colored field. This successive contrast between cold and warm is very warm.
Many people think that the fox marriage is not finished, because it is impossible to guess the end of the little boy, but some people say that Kurosawa Akira's words have been said: a man is always a man, and one day he will shoulder his own responsibilities and then walk out of the house independently.
Second Dream: Taoyuan
The little boy wears black and white dots, indoors, contrasting with his sister and the environment, and also with the pink of Peach Blossom's pink to form a dull and bright chiaroscuro contrast.
In this dream, the most important color contrast is expressed as the contrast between nature and human beings: the puppet gives the peach tree a bright, bright color, and the red, white and purple are highly saturated on a large green background. In contrast, the representative color of the boy as a person is: black + earthy color.
Third Dream: A Snowstorm
It was a dream of white--black-gray, and then suddenly, gradually, there was some color, the color of the soldier's clothes was yellow, the sky was gradually turning blue, and the red flag appeared, and that was the hope. It seems that the black and white gray interrupted in front is only to highlight the red of this moment, the red of the finishing touch.
Fifth Dream: Van Gogh
The dream begins with a self-portrait of Van Gogh, "I"—Akira Kurosawa's avatar—from the right side like a flower, the camera moves to the left, after the famous works "Starry Night", "Sunflower", "The Crow Flies Over the Wheat Field", after a short stop, to the right, along the original route, past "Van Gogh's Chair and Pipe", "Al's Suspension Bridge", "Al's Studio", and finally stop at "Al's Suspension Bridge". Followed by a panoramic view of an Al suspension bridge picture.
In a moment, the music began to play, and in an instant, the woman washing clothes by the river moved, and the river rippled, and the carriage on the drawbridge began to move to the left of the painting. Very wonderful and beautiful from static to moving, and what is even more wonderful is that "I" is like a flower from the right side. The vivid color of the paintings of the figures and walls contrasts with the colors of my clothing. The highly saturated blue sky, the river, the costumes of the characters, and even the walls of the house are roughly saturated primary colors, which is van Gogh's primary color world.
Along the way, "I" followed Van Gogh's footsteps until I met him. But Van Gogh had something more important to do, and that was "the sun drives me to paint," the golden yellow he chased with his life.
"I" once again traveled through his paintings--- orange-yellow and blue, wheat fields and crows, and followed in his footsteps. In this dream, director Akira Kurosawa deliberately imitates van Gogh's painting colors and artistic conceptions, the scene is extremely colorful, a large area of pure blue clear sky is exposed, and the "golden yellow" contrasts strongly with the blue of the sky.
In Van Gogh's whirling and rough brushstrokes, "I" and we stop, stay, and look between the past and reality, between reality and illusion, so that we are lost. This dream of pure color is, of course, the diameter of the master Kurosawa Akira standing at this end of time and space to the other master at that end. The encounter between the past and the present is really a fusion with the painting, which makes people particularly moved
All the titles in "Dream" use the same color--- that is, the black background is lined with white words, and the abstract colors of black and white form the obvious dividing line of each short film. Of the eight dreams, we like four of them, juvenile (sun rain) --- juvenile (peach tree field) - youth (Van Gogh) - old age (watermill village), the order of which is a dream task of growing up, these pictures are colorful.
It is also said that the color of the eight dreams in "Dream" is an intriguing story in itself. From the mystery of green, the blue, orange, purple, to the barren white of the Taoist decorative machine gun, experiencing the black of fear, and then adding the colorful van gogh world, the dangerous red and the gray of Capa, and finally returning to the natural green mountains and green waters, completing a color curve of life's growth.
