In his book "Anatomy of the Film," Bernard F. Dick defined the implication (Subtext) as "the core substance hidden behind the plot, just as the pearl hides under chance."

The implicit sense technique is therefore important by reinforcing the film's scenario and moving away from directness, by hiding the deeper meaning behind the superficial meaning, which was characterized by the most famous Oscar-winning films for best screenplay. The underlying text can come in various forms such as dialogue, body language, image, music, recall of historical events, return of memory or flashback. Let's see some examples of this creative technology that takes viewers to a more mature level.

The Godfather
"The Godfather" (1972-1974-1990) is the first school to employ the technique of implicit meaning with amazing skill, so we will have more space to address four different scenes:

1- The Godfather's Gift
Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) fascinates us with an implicit dialogue that has become immortal in the history of world cinema, as a model of implicit meaning in the simplest and most powerful form, when he responds to singer Johnny (Al Martino) who wants to help him persuade a producer to give him a chance to act in a film, saying: An offer he cannot refuse. " But it is not an offer but a threat, as the producer will find the head of the most expensive horses cut off in his bed.

2 - fruit grain
Here we will see the implication by picture, when Corleone is fired from his job, he quietly receives the order and refrains from accepting the employer's gratitude, returns home carrying his wife one fruit, and lives his day happy with his family. With no words, the scene shows us the strength, self-esteem, self-esteem, self-esteem and sanctification of Corleone's family.

3 - Hug treachery
In this scene a model of implicit meaning through body language, where Michael (Al Pacino) embraces his brother Fredo (John Casal) strongly and refuses to kiss and look in his eyes, which ostensibly suggests a deep love for him and forgive him, but the implication in the eyes of Michael "I see you The last farewell, it's your hour of execution. "

4- Roman warriors
The tacit meaning here is achieved by summoning historical events. Lawyer Tom (Robert Duval) visits the veteran Frankie and exchanges with him a fine cigar, and then brings him back to the time of the Roman Empire, where the conspirator of the soldier resorted to suicide to save the rest of his family. Tom's talk, promising him to lie in a hot tub and cut his arteries, to throw Tom his cigarette and go out, in another implicit sense, that the vash was extinguished and ended.

Full Metal Jacket
"Full Metal Jacket" (1987) is one of the few films that fabulously incorporated music and song into the implicit sense technique, to shed light on a person's feelings in a scene. Who would imagine that you could make this young, frustrated character soaked in the scourge of war, About her feelings towards all this by singing a song of childhood songs.

No one is creating this like Stanley Kubrick, the king of employing music to enhance his film scenarios and give his characters depth and charm. Here he uses the most childish and famous song "The Mickey Mouse March" from Disney TV in the 1950s, to make a more ironic effect on the disappointment of a group of young American soldiers who received the most ruthless training before they end up in a hell called Vietnam.

"Welcome to the Mickey Mouse Club. We will enjoy and see new faces and visit new places," said the song, which reflects friendship, fun and appetite for life.

The Fight Club
The director of the Fight Club (1999), David Fincher, uniquely reiterates the implicit meaning of the whole work and the ideas of his characters in every shot of every scene in the film, to demonstrate how consumption has captured our lives through a brand image of Starbucks coffee, as if he wanted to “See how America enslaved the masses with its obsession and addiction to money to spend on its addiction to a coffee brand, creating a society immersed in masculinity and chaos.

Drive
In "Driving" (2011), driver Ryan Gosling gets out of his car to identify gang leader Bernie (Albert Brooks), and because his hand was dirty from some maintenance, he refrained from shaking hands with him saying "My hands are dirty". As well as my hand. "

A four-word dialogue in just a few seconds, but hides another deeper tacit meaning, with a warning and a padded threat from Bernie to the driver, as well as my hand. , And that his hand in vengeance is as dirty as his criminal history.

Thus, we see how the implicit sense technique has given the art of cinema a depth and added charm to it, and the list of films that it created in its employment has won fame and prizes that will be extended.
