What exactly does the texture of a movie refer to?

This question is very interesting and difficult to answer, and it is destined to have no correct answer.

I think the texture of a movie can also be equated to the temperament of a movie.

Try to share your thoughts based on your personal viewing experience.

I personally feel that quality movies often come from thoughtful directors and their ideas. How much is presented in the film is how much weight the film has. This weight weighs on the audience's heart and is another experience outside of the plot. It determines how the plot is presented to the audience. I prefer to call texture "a starting point".

I have watched almost all of Nolan’s movies, and they are “thick”. This is especially obvious in the Batman Prequel series:

1. There are many close-ups, and even in panoramic and medium shots, the huge figure of the captured object occupies the main body of the picture. In the trilogy, there are huge trucks, huge transport planes, huge Batmobiles and Batplanes, and even the Bat-motorcycle is equipped with such huge tires that it will weigh you down on the screen and make you breathless.

2. You can always feel Nolan's unhurriedness when telling stories, which you can never see with high-speed editing. Even when dealing with tense/climax scenes, with Hans Zimmer's heavy and fast drumming score, Nolan must patiently show the actors' actions/lines completely. He relied on the inherent dramatic conflict and tension of the film's story Go ahead and make you nervous. This is a choice.

3. Unify the style and tone of the entire movie. The color tone is yellowish, gray, and depressing. Even Batman's voice is so deep that it's rare for anyone except the villain to smile in the movie. By the way, Nolan's movies all feel pretty serious. In A-level productions, jokes are often told in order to keep the film from being too cold during the development. You rarely see these in Nolan's movies.

Nolan tells the story slowly and never omits motivations/actions to allow the audience to connect the changes in the character's personality. So all the above made me feel the "heavyness" in his movies, and it is this sense of heaviness that made me feel what Yu Hua said in "Alive": "A hair can hold a weight of ten thousand kilograms, but the hair Not broken”. I feel that Batman, as a hero outside the system, is often blamed by both sides when he faces breaking the balance between violence (police) and criminals within the system. In the third film, the butler said to Wayne before resigning: I buried your parents back then, but now I don’t want to bury the Wayne family with my own hands. This sense of ominous fate has been permeating the last two prequels, and it is still unclear whether the appearance of Batman has "made the world a little better." It is the appearance of Batman that has upgraded these more... Villains who are violent and anti-human, when the balance is broken, growth is often at both ends of the scale. Many dark thoughts after watching "Batman" are inseparable from the "thickness" created by Nolan, and "thickness" I think is the texture in Nolan's movies.

------Director Spielberg's personal style changed very obviously after "Saving Private Ryan", with a large number of moving tracking shots, showing a large number of actions/expressions in one shot /dialogue. This kind of processing also enhances the inner rhythmic tension, which is especially obvious in "Munich". The terrorists' raid and the revenge team member's unskilled and even nervous suicide for the first time. In this kind of follow-up shooting and long shot display, it is unusually real and involving.

All of this creates the "realism" in Spielberg's movies.

Even in the science fiction film "Minority Report", this smooth development of emotional lines makes you feel the same.

------You can also give a simple example, such as Jiang Wen’s movies, with absurd colors, absurd dialogues, absurd/paranoid characters, and abstract/idealistic soundtracks. Look carefully, what? Elements are deliberately exaggerated or absurd. It is very similar to Yu Hua's writings, especially "Brothers", which contains ethical subversion, impetuous indulgence, and all things. But it is precisely because Yu Hua's writing is so absurd that the sense of reality in his bones is increasingly revealed.

Both he and he wrote about a small group of people, but we can always see a large number of people in this small group of people.

------There are many similar examples. Most of them are directors with their own style. It is directors with this style that allow movies to be tweaked and broken at will. Being discussed will not be formulaic, limited, or foreseeable like many A-level productions in Hollywood.

The quality of the film is probably reflected in the director’s personal methods and ideas.

The above is an explanation.
