①We can see circles, squares and triangles (三角形) everywhere in ur daily life. Have yu thught abut their meanings in films? Much like clrs, different shapes can shw different features f characters in the scenes.
②Circles represent things that are sft and natural. The rund shape reminds us f things that appear in nature, like the sun, flwers, raindrps and s n. We can als cnnect circles with beautiful eyes, babies’ rund faces…All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why s many cartn characters’ bdies—heres, kids, gd peple—are rund in shape, because circles represent gdness, happiness and friendliness.
③Squares shw things that are unnatural r man-made, r things that are bring r ld-fashined. In Up, Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-ld by with a rund face, always wears rund medals. These shapes shw the characters’ persnalities. Carl is stubbrn (执拗的) and lnely, while Russell is lvely and full f energy.
④The angriest shape is the triangle. Every kid wh draws a mnster with sharp teeth draws a rw f triangles, dn’t they? That’s because the shape represents fear, distrust and dubt in sme way. Lk at the bad guys in cartns—they are all drawn with plenty f pints and triangles, like Shengngba in Ne Zha. And triangles are stable (稳固的) and dn’t easily fall dwn. In films, this feature makes bad peple difficult t deal with.
⑤Nt nly in cartns, but als in ther kinds f films, different shapes are used fr the same purpse. S, next time yu see a film, try t find the hidden shapes and yu will knw what the characters are like.
