Picture Description

  Have you ever seen the movie House of Flying Daggers by Zhang Yimou? If you have, then you might remember that there was a scene where a woman was standing in a bamboo forest that was illuminated by the sun. In the trees, there are 4 men who were holding daggers in their hands, falling vertically, upside down, from the trees. The picture appeared to be very vertical because of the bamboo, with the ground acting as the horizon. The green color of the scene gives us the feeling of "action", along with the Bo (a staff used in come martial arts, made of bamboo in this scene) the woman was holding. The fog at the background in the forest blocks us from the view beyond the forest, creating a quite mysterious atmosphere, and also the feeling of suspense.
