    All Jingyu is a love language, and color has been endowed with the magic of artistic expression for the first time, "the first true color film". The so-called red desert is a bloody desert in which the human spirit has been alienated by the constant destruction of modern industry. Monica Vitti, the best spokesperson for neurotic young...

    The hair color is so beautiful. The heroine is so good. The short story is absolutely amazing. Although it looks like industrial oppression in general, the details are limited and the understanding is not in place. Although I don't understand it well, it seems to be very powerful. Haha very...

    The thick smoke from the chimneys of the factory permeated the whole film, which not only caused damage to the environment, but also blinded the hearts of the people who lived there. There are many symbolic and metaphorical shots and scenes in the whole film, which can be recalled and reflected...

    Antonioni's bewilderment, loneliness, and unease, from the neurotic facial expressions and body language of the beautiful and sad Monica Vitti, to the desolate and foggy industrialized background, to the eerie and noisy noises that spread out like a chaotic watercolor painting, I slowly complained with a rich and colorful palette... and finally became a cold, liquid nitrogen-like wall formed by...

    One of Antonioni's key words is: panic, an indescribable and deadly spiritual panic, there are "Night" and "Eclipse" facing people themselves, "Zoom" and "Red Desert" facing modern developed society. What I still feel is "Eclipse". Maybe each movie touches a different target. I really want to ruthlessly criticize his hypocrisy in some aspects, but this kind of panic does...

    4k repaired version @小西天. 1. Undoubtedly a transformation and a landmark in Antonioni's films: the first film in color, the last film with a female lead, the last Italian film in the strict sense. 2. The "painter" Antonioni, obsessed with composition, lines and shapes in the era of black and white films, has finally completed his arsenal. Color is the real protagonist in this film. An's deliberately changed the real colors of real life, saturated colors and soft colors form a cool and solemn...

    Every time red appears, it is like "lure" Juliana out of the prison of reality. Antonioni's first color film expresses the coldness and emptiness of the industrial age with color. Juliana struggles in the dark reality and the red dream all the time. Attracted her to escape, but she was full of fear of red in her heart. In the end, she was "green" and could only escape the poisonous "yellow" fog under the "blue-gray" sky and continued to look for the exit of...

    The spirit of the industrial age is full of poison, life is worthless and there is no escape, there is indifference and numbness everywhere, sex can't solve anything, and even close family relationships are indifferent. The innocent sea of ​​girlhood disappeared, and ships sailed into the desert. Very appropriate neurotic...

    . The director uses a very obvious contrast of colors to emphasize the repression and alienation of modern industrial products on the human spirit. The so-called red desert is like a blood-splattered desert, a blood-soaked desert that has devastated human nature in the age of machine...

    Neuroticism, depression. Industrialization has brought about emotional alienation of human beings. The director who transitioned from black and white to color has a strict pursuit of color, as do Ozu and Godard. It's just beautiful. "—Why is the smoke yellow?—Because it's poisonous.—Will a bird die if it flies over it? -- So the bird doesn't fly over it." Is this sentence a wake-up call to the...

Red Desert quotes

  • Giuliana: Are you a leftist or a rightist?

    Corrado Zeller: Why do you ask such a question? Are you interested in politics?

    Giuliana: Good Lord, no. I was just wondering.

    Corrado Zeller: It's like asking, "What do you believe in?" Those are big words, Giuliana, that calls for precise answers. Deep down... one doesn't really know what one believes in. One believes in humanity... in a certain sense. A little less in justice. A little more in progress. One believes in socialism... perhaps. What matters is to act as one thinks right - right for oneself and for others. In other words, with a clean conscience. Mine is at peace. Does that answer your question?

    Giuliana: That's some bunch of words you strung together.

  • Linda, Max's Wife: Where's Augusto?

    Mili: I dumped him.

    Linda, Max's Wife: Since when?

    Mili: I can't go to bed with a man who earns less than me.
