a decription of a movie poster First, I will analyse picture elements, there are two people sitting on both sides of a brown fabric sofa, which looks so old. They have different positions. We could image there is an axle wire in the middle of the picture. Young girl with curly blond hair sits on the left of the sofa. She sits cross-legged and turns to the woman on her right, she holds on a video recorder with her right hand, her legs are regarded as magnificent support for her camera. Although we could only watch half of her face, we observe her facial expression that she is happy and curious enough to shot several chips. Her navy blue striped shirt is a symbol of French. An old woman holds a cat in her arms sitting on the right side of the sofa. Her clothes are out-of-date. A black vest is on the outside of a dark-red sweater. She looks straightly to viewers. She wears serious faces, which give us the pressure felt. As if she is judging us why we look at her. Conversely, the cat in her arm is peaceful who closes its eyes and takes a short rest with a comfortable position. I’d like to point out that the differences between them are obvious. As the sofa is combined with two parts. On the one hand, there is a thin young girl with a smile; on the other hand, there is a fat old woman with a serious expression. Furthermore, the color of the left side is vivid, the young girl represents the hope of life; the color of the right side is dull, the old woman stands out greatly the loss of hope. Moreover, a huge bookcase stands in the background. However, instead of a real bookcase, this is a viral one drawn by an artist. What’s more, these viral books are dancing in the air. The comparison is meaningful, reality and virtually, real and false. At the top of the poster, capital letters in deep red attract us immediately. I chose the French version so the film title is <le hérisson> which means the hedgehog in English. Other red letters tell us this is the film of Josiane Balasko and the film is adapted from a book whose name is < élégance du hérisson> Finally, I’ve chosen this poster because it means to me a lot. The hedgehog is prickly all over, but who knows perhaps they have a warm heart inside just like the actress, a door woman, who looks banal and out of date. However, she has deep thoughts and reads books as much as she could. From my perspective, we can’t judge a person by outward appearance, and we should pursue living a meaningful life.
