However, there is no need to contrast it with the concision. Aesthetically, the easier the composition is, the more capable for it to be appreciated repeatedly, because it can bring more meaningful feelings to people. A few years ago, young people were not interested in the black and white movies of Tarkovsky. But no matter how elusory the plot of movie is, the images are impressively beautiful. Nowadays in this colorful film times, this special beauty seems to disappear; fortunately, cameraman still uses the concision of black and white in the compositions of his photos.
