Red Desert Comments

    Antonioni's color films, the colors are as imagined. At the beginning, the white fog sprayed from the factory, Vitty's return and confusion in the fog, and the positions of the actors in the fog are all dazzling. The soundtrack (or rather the background sound) is also amazing, more like the voice in the head of a woman who is close to a nervous breakdown. The real emotional world is the barren red desert, and the pursuit is clear water and blue sky, where "everyone is singing". || 2019.01.19...

    The composition of the picture is very beautiful, the tone of the film is deserted, and the colors are diverse, all of which are quite meaningful. The consumption and pollution of the environment caused by industrial civilization is shocking. The surrounding dead silence is barren and morbid, and the indentation and panic caused in the heart of the heroine in the film are evoked by Monica Vitti with a nervous and moving expression. The performance is so eloquent, and watching it, I feel more...

    De-dramatic, extremely obscure. Huge industrial facilities give people a sense of fear. In comparison, people are so small. People are integrated into the background, and the picture has a sense of unity. Utopia in the heart and industrial pollution in reality, the desolation of the apocalypse, the torn heart under industrialization. Unrestrained gatherings, diseased ships approaching, people gradually entering the thick fog, children's strange leg problems, and resistance to courtship. Fear...

    4.5, the formal contribution is still outstanding. The out-of-focus technique and extreme use of color create an illusion of absurdity and confusion in the post-industrial age, like a prophecy. The story is no longer important, and the narrative can also be put aside. The red desert does not exist in reality or in the movie. It is just an emotion. It is in the heart, in the sensitive and alienated heart of the heroine... In short, this is very...

    Paint-like high-contrast and low-saturation colors have even become a distinct symbol to participate in the narrative language. Together with the avant-garde industrial background sound and picture counterpoint and the big vision, the red that can be seen everywhere is the anxiety about the industrialized society and the individual’s relationship with the outside world. A contradictory portrayal of alienation, with a sexual signified at the same time. There seems to be no one better suited to...

    The characters in Antonioni's films must be viewed with schizophrenia. At the same time, their mind and body are separated, and their derailment is a second derailment. Antonioni uses color to express the alienation of people and abandons the dramatic conflict, which is unreasonable for those who are addicted to capitalism and relish it. For those who are used to watching Hollywood blockbusters, they are either aphasia or cursing. As Antonioni's first color film, the film gives a sense of...

    Looking at it again, the desert is nothing but the human heart, the relationship is a false proposition, and only loneliness is eternal. The echoes of the environment and emotions are at their peak, and the anxious electronic sound builds a hopeless puzzle in the industrial...

    The avant-garde likes to shoot neurotic people, because any abnormal reactions and behaviors are reasonable. For screen construction, it is also easier to display effects. I don't like it. It's not that I don't understand, but I feel boring. I still like to watch movies with reasonable logic, unbroken thinking, and all motives and behaviors within the scope of common...

    Perhaps this is the definition of depression. The use of color and sound is really compelling (except for the color that everyone is analyzing, it is the sound that impresses me more!), it is no wonder that it is the first color film in the true sense-using color to describe the psychology. . Monica Witty is the true goddess, and Richard Harris has changed the character of a British gangster and has a handsome face like a statue. ....
