Let's talk about European and American movies first. The typical European and American-style films I know are those with thick and solid colors, low lightness, strong sense of oil painting, rich colors like hot chocolate, simple colors like coffee, bitter, but endless aftertaste!
Chinese-style Chinese painting movies are obviously influenced by Chinese painting. The color is dim, the picture is dull and stereoscopic, and the contrast is low. The whole picture gives a comfortable and soft feeling. It doesn't care about realism, it cares about freehand brushwork. Just like a master of Chinese painting, if you say that he paints very well, it is equivalent to scolding him. Watching this style of film, I feel that I am drinking tea, which is slightly bitter and astringent, and what I care about is the sweetness.
I don't like sweet syrup tablets for a long time, and maybe many people don't like them either. But when I put aside my inherent thinking or prejudice, I found a new world, sugar water tablets, sweet, just like milk tea or fruit tea, very sweet and comfortable!
Finally, perhaps many people disdain the above styles, because many people think that "humanity" is the true meaning of photography. To be honest, this idea is terrible. Let's talk about the "human nature" style in my cognition when I have the opportunity!
