We can see circles, squares and triangles everywhere in our daily life. Have you thought about their meanings in films? 1. F
Circles represent things that are soft and natural. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature, like the sun, flowers, raindrops and so on. 2. E All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters' bodies—heroes, kids, good people—are round in shape, because circles represent goodness, happiness and friendliness.
Squares show things that are unnatural or man-made, or things that are boring or old-fashioned. In Up, Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals. 3. B Carl is stubborn (固执的) and lonely, while Russell is lovely and full of energy.
4. A Every kid who draws a monster with sharp teeth draws a row of triangles, don't they? That's because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. Look at the bad guys in cartoons—they are all drawn with plenty of points and triangles, like Shengongbao in Ne Zha. And triangles are stable and don't easily fall down. 5. D
Not only in cartoons, but also in other kinds of films, different shapes are used for the same purpose. So, next time you see a film, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know what the characters are like.
