Please "briefly talk about your understanding of contemporary Hollywood movies with specific films"
Luc besson is a French director ... strictly speaking, it is not the aesthetic feature of Hollywood's new Hollywood movies. Theme and theme of movies: Old Hollywood movies were influenced by the studio system and politics (at that time, there was Hayes code in the United States, which prohibited filming films that were in contact with society), so the theme and theme were mostly entertainment content that was far away from reality and politics, reflecting the creative values of the middle class, moderation and conservatism, and realistic films accounted for very little in this period. However, the new Hollywood movies show rebellion against the old Hollywood movies, and their sharp exposure, criticism and protest against social problems, as well as the breadth and intensity of facing real life are deeply shocking. For example, the iconic film Bonnie and Clay, which was shot by Arthur Pepa King 1967 and called the birth of New Hollywood, took place in the American countryside in the 1930s. It is a "gangster film" in a sense, but it embodies the theme of contemporary youth resistance: directly resisting social injustice and the violent legitimacy of imprisoning personality. Influenced by the Vietnam War, New Hollywood made many excellent films reflecting the Vietnam War. These films questioned the true nature of human nature through the life and death of the war, and exposed the physical and mental trauma brought to the American people by the Vietnam War. These films are called "Vietnam War Movies". Such as deer hunter (1978), Apocalypse Now (1979) and Pai (1987). In 1970s, influenced by political scandals such as Watergate, political films appeared in Hollywood. These films exposed the darkness of the judicial system and the trial system, accused the government of corruption and reflected social injustice. More films are aimed at young people, showing their emptiness of mind, loss of value and complete rebellion against tradition in a highly developed material life. 2. From the aspect of film expression, Hollywood new films have borrowed a lot from the creative experience of European art films in art, and the film creators have absorbed its reasonable components while jumping out of the classic Hollywood drama film mode, highlighting the image function of the film in expression. Compared with the old Hollywood, the aesthetic features of the new Hollywood films can be seen from the following aspects: ① In the plot structure, the new Hollywood films have broken the one-way narrative mode of pursuing drama, and the time-space transformation is more flexible, instead of pursuing the integrity of the story, they seek an open ending. ② Characters are no longer stereotyped, but show their natural nature according to their own development. Good and evil is no longer a clear-cut standard to distinguish between good and bad characters. In addition, in the relationship between the characters and the plot, the new Hollywood movies make the characters no longer subordinate to the plot but highlight the characters from the plot. For example, in Coppola's Apocalypse Now, the development of the plot is actually the process in which the protagonist goes crazy step by step. The shock of the film lies not in the suspense of the plot, but in the alienation and alienation of people in the cruel war environment: the lieutenant who was ordered to kill a war madman became another madman after various events. ③ Hollywood new films pay more attention to the development of film skills including lens language. Hollywood new films do not pursue the reality on the screen, but use various film techniques to produce a certain distance effect. Therefore, in the new Hollywood movies, there are many shots with different angles and speeds, such as freezing and jumping. The new image language strengthens the visual impact and makes the picture more artistic, while the use of metaphor and symbolism adds philosophical connotation to the film on the other hand, thus making the film more characteristic of the director's personal style. For example, Coppola's The Godfather actually magnifies a rather traditional "family story" in an American movie into a family myth, and the individual hero in the traditional robber movie melts into an omnipresent family force, which becomes the epitome of contemporary America and even the whole capitalism. It is worth mentioning that after the development of New Hollywood in the 1980s, commercial films aiming at film visual effects began to appear, represented by Lucas' Star Wars series and Spielberg's Jurassic series. These films make full use of the high-tech achievements of films, and trick photography and digital production have almost become the magic weapon to replace the plot. The unprecedented visual wonders brought by these films have gone far beyond people's visual experience and even dreams, thus bringing great sensory stimulation and shock to the audience.
