113mins//Zabriskie Point was like a flowing river of love in that time. Sex was much better than war.//The special possibility of the 1960s and 1970s was that their desire for freedom was strongly expressed and fully practiced, but every era was not the best The worst or the worst//Break up if you're not happy and make you feel alive//Are you watching atypical author movies today?

The terrible movie Antonioni made in Hollywood is one of my favorites I've seen so far. It focuses on the struggles of youth in the context of student movements. Two men and women who were dropped from the social movement discovered a spiritual holy place in the desert. After that, the male protagonist returned to society and went to destruction. The female protagonist could only imagine an explosion in her mind to resist the establishment. Youth, wildness, anger, rebellion, lust, utopia, the repression of capitalist establishment, such themes can travel through time and space. The sudden insertion of explosion scenes and desert love scenes in the film should be a highlight moment in film history. The director broke away from the excessive self-identity projection of the director in the previous films, and did not get too entangled in the indifferent and isolated living state and spiritual world of the petty bourgeoisie and intellectuals. In fact, although that state is portrayed to the bone, to today's audience, the films are just as blunt, tedious and uninteresting, as pale as the protagonists they represent.
