"Call for Love in the Center of the World" movie has a total of two versions, the domestic Ou Hao and Zhang Huiwen starring the remake version, and the director of this film is the Korean director Guo Jae-yong, many people may not know this person, "My Savage Girlfriend" is directed by him.
The story of Japan, Chinese actors, Korean directors, three cultures presented in one movie, but not as successful as the original Japanese version of "Call for Love in the Center of the World", the plot is incomprehensible, and the actor's dialogue is too poor.
I don't know whether it is the reason for the funding or what the situation is, the heroine of the story who should have fainted again in the airport fainted on the ship in the mainland version, and the world center is also interpreted as the world center in everyone's heart is different, and the original wonderful place is abandoned.
But the movie still has its brilliant place, that is, the oriental aesthetics under the light and shadow, the large-scale use of yellow tones in the film, a metaphor for the restless heart of youth, the swimsuit on the heroine is yellow, the desk in the story is yellow, and even the walls are yellow.
This yellow also represents that the story in the plot is not reality, but the past, is a memory, in the world of yellow as the keynote, Ou Hao's Kodak wanders through the memories of Xia Ye, who was once played by Zhang Huiwen.
The warm-colored yellow light appears a lot in the first half of the film, especially Kodak and Xia Ye walk into Beijing, two people appear in the same room, the light projected from the window reflects on Xia Ye's face, and Kodak's face does not have this light, suggesting that Kodak was just a crush at the time, and also implies that the memory in the story is Kodak.
Of course, this yellow color is not static, when Kodak and Natsuba face life and death, the yellow becomes solidified, and the materialized yellow tells the viewer that Natsuba's life will end in the story.
In addition to yellow, green is the supporting color in the movie, and whenever Kodak and Natsuba's mood changes in the story, green will appear next to the two people.
When Kodak and Natsuba look at each other in the classroom window, the green on the wall between the two people has the breath of life, telling the likes of the two people, telling the buds of love that begin to burst.
In the second half of the movie, the same scene, Natsuba is hospitalized, Kodak looks through the window again, the people over there are no longer there, and the green outside the window has become dull, without any life.
There is also a pond in the same green scene, the pond first appeared when kodak and Natsuba love budding, white flowers with green lotus leaves, life exuberant reflection of the two people's carefree and expectations for the future at this moment.
When the pond appeared for the second time, Natsuba was hospitalized, and Kodak rode his bicycle and leaped over the pond, the white flowers in the pond withered, and the green changed from bright green to dark green.
The last time, when Kodak revisited his hometown again, passing by the pond, the flowers in the pond turned green again, the life in the small pond went and came, but the summer leaves would not come back, and the sad emotions and bright green formed the thorn in Kodak's heart.
In addition to yellow and green, the number of times red appears in the movie is countless, but it has a profound meaning for the plot, the most prominent of which is Xia Ye and Kodak, who go to Beijing to find Xia Ye's father.
When the two people see that Natsuba's father has a new family, standing on the top of the house, the distant walls and roof are dark red, and the suppression under the intuitive effect appears in everyone's heart, in addition to reflecting the bleakness of Natsuba's heart at this moment, it also implies that the plot of the movie is about to change.
Because of this trip to Beijing, when Xia Ye called her father, her mood fluctuated, causing illness in her body, and after the red, the original warm yellow turned into a solidified yellow, and the green of life also became a gloomy green.
Red is the driving color of "Call for Love in the Center of the World", and Guo Zairong tries to make the viewers adapt to the direction of the story through red, but unfortunately he fails.
Beautiful light and shadow can add points to a good story, but will not make up for the poor plot, the whole movie after watching, the split of the plot makes the viewer feel uncomfortable, the first half of the story of Kodak and Xia Ye is still normal, with the scenery of Qingdao, small flaws can still be endured.
But in the second half of the movie, the story becomes lackluster, the color change can not make up for the loopholes in the movie itself, the appearance of the two summer leaves is also sudden, if you have not seen the original version, the final plot can make people turn off the video in minutes.
