      Is moaning really due to illness? ——Humble opinion on how creators seek audience understanding

      The sense of division in "Red Desert"

      The dignified and gloomy and beautiful image style of "Red Desert" does have a good effect on expressing the cold and heavy feeling of the industrial city, but the success of this good effect is limited to the location shots. The expression of "people" is failed, thin, unnatural, and rigid and symbolic, so the viewing process has brought a serious sense of separation to the author, and whenever I see a highly stylized location shot, I...

      If you don't read papers, you can't even read movies.

      From black and white to color, it has almost become Viti's one-man show, and the charm of women is more tempting. In terms of color, the gloomy gray, the large red, the blue of the sea, and the yellow and green in the details, etc., are in sharp contrast and unified. There are a few clips that I think are very cool. One is in a red room, but the six characters are arranged in a small space. It is strong; one is running out of the room and the fog drowns the characters. Julie is in reality. Anna...

      The choice after the contradiction and dislocation of reality and spiritual world

      For nearly 2 hours, I can clearly feel the restlessness of the audience in the theater. The director has said a lot of things, and it is difficult to generalize. However, according to the habit of An-style, there will always be a sublimation scene in the film. It seems to be out of touch with the film, but it is actually the key to understanding the director's intentions.

      A taste of red desert

      It seems a bit too presumptuous to write a review of this movie after having only seen it once, but the dye vat in my chest was kicked over by An Lao, which is really uncomfortable. It is purely a family's words, reaching out to connect bricks.
         1. Colors
         Before watching, I heard the remarks that the color of this movie is a bright spot, so I paid special attention to the color of the movie during the watching process.
         1. Red... Desire, blood-stained prosperity The color...

      About People, Environment and Society

      This film no longer relies on literature, it is the power of the medium of real film A film
        about the relationship between people, the environment and society. One of my favorite movies, he looks at this relationship from the perspective of a bystander, the cold factory, the relationship between people like fog. But few people understand it. Because most people still look at the world from the perspective of a person in society and watch this movie. Therefore, it is impossible to...

      There is no need for a traditional narrative structure, the emotions and states of the characters are in place and complete, and the composition and colors are excellent without becoming a rigid ppt movie. In scenes with many people, from the movement of the characters, even a single step, to the director's scheduling ability, Antonioni's aesthetics of the scene are absolutely...

    Evaluation action

    "The Red Desert" takes the mental state and chaotic heart of a woman as the central content of the film. The film sensitively and accurately reproduces the inner world of modern people. Antonioni expresses the mentality of modern people and modern industrial civilization together, and the ideological direction of the film is thus more clear. The reason why human emotions are as barren as deserts may be the rapid development of...
