This diploma thesis is a reflection of my passion to depict life itself and it doesn’t matter, if description is happening with the help of film, theatre, dance or music. This depiction is always closely connected with feelings and senses which arise because of these arts.
Only one sentence or even a word, could conjure certain feelings. Only one sound or tone could lead us into certain emotional condition. Film as a whole of pictures, feelings and music, could show us those conditions comprehensive.
In preparation on my thesis work, I started to work on five films, Kurosawa’s Rashomon, Fellini’s La strada, Tarantino’s Kill Bill, Lynch’s Blue velvet and on Mirror by Tarkovsky. We may describe them as legendary films and directors. Unfortunately, this task was too extensive and at the end, I decided for only two of them, for Rashomon and La strada.
The reason why I choose two black and white films lie in fact, that absence of color make atmosphere in film more noticeable. The director has to play with grayness’s much more extensive, than if colors would be available.
