      "Hippie culture" in the eyes of an Italian

      When the male protagonist takes off on a plane, you can feel the young man's enthusiasm for breaking through everything and yearning for freedom. Like Jack Nicholson in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" carrying a carload of "mentally ill" out of the madhouse... yes, this was the America of that era, and it was Antonioni's America. After converging into this "Zabriskie Point": so real and powerful, just like the sentence "Mark" answered "Dalia" in the play: "I needed to get off the...

      Once upon a time there was a young man and he died

      In 1970, Michelangelo Antonioni was 58 years old.
      The directors of the movies I watched recently are all very personal. The 58-year-old Antonioni made a very youthful work. The male protagonist who did not quite agree with the original intention of the student movement was involved in a violent incident and was stolen on the way to escape. On a private plane, he met a girl and made love, and was finally killed by the police. The story is over, what does the director want to say? Is it...

      Marx rolls on a donkey in the desert

      Italian director Antonioni is a "master of world cinema". Although young people rarely watch his films, his status is unshakable.

      It is true that he is a master, but it does not mean that each of his works is a master. Today's "Infinite Spring on the Dangerous Peak" is a failed work.

      Looking at this once avant-garde and radical film with today's eyes is a bit ridiculous. The film has little storytelling, with Antonioni's usual looseness. A boy, a left-wing radical youth,...

      Explosion under pressure

      First of all, the Amway software CorelWinDVD reads CDs. After experimenting for a long time, I found that this software is very nice to watch CDs!

      Wave bye-bye to an era

      With the final scene of Zabriskie Point, Michelangelo Antonioni made film

      history. The main character Daria drives away from the villa into the desert.

      Fantasy is overheating. Daria stops, gets out, and looks back angrily at this

      stronghold of consumerism and commerce, now engulfed in a ball of fire.

      Then the villa reappears and the spectacle repeats itself over and over again.

      The visual effect is very good, especially the part where the two people linger in the desert is very beautiful, I won't say anything about the plot. . . Four stars are really friendly points. ....

      A fate almost all masters can't avoid: when he starts talking about politics, he falls off the altar and exposes his limitations. Aside from the explosions at the end of the film and the spectacular ambiguity between the canyons, Antonioni's left is almost like an angry youth in China, and indeed, as some critics say, "lost his credibility." More and more I find that politics and art are two completely different fields, and art that touches politics emotionally without pondering is neither...

    Antonioni's failure

    Perhaps the most unpleasant thing about Zabriskie Point is the adults gleefully playing the role of children. Our warriors and heroines flirt with each other, their romantic escapes in airplanes, and their giggling giggles, and it turns out, you know, it's Antonioni's work.
    Antonioni is a director who shines from time to time. The basic idea of ​​his films that boredom with pop culture can destroy our ability to love and feel, reflected...

    The twists and turns of the film arrangement

    Antonioni had heard Pink Floyd at a small party while filming "Zoom" in London in 1966, and by the time "Zabriskie Point" was filmed, he got in touch with the band, hoping they could do it for him film composition. Although Pink Floyd had just lost Sid Barrett to regroup at the time, he had already had experience scoring films.
    Pink Floyd spent a month in Rome, working 12 hours a day to keep Antonioni happy. In Nicholas Schaffner's 1991...

    Antonioni in the eyes of great directors

    David Bordwell said Antonioni had a huge influence on art cinema, arguing that Antonioni "unlike other directors, he inspired subsequent filmmakers to explore ellipsis and open-ended narratives".
    The casual and aimless quality of Antonioni's films has drawn a lot of criticism. Ingmar Bergman has said he respects some of Antonioni's films for their alienation and fantasy. Yet while he considers Zoom and Night to be masterpieces,...

    Antonioni says

    I'm not a director good at theoretical research. If you ask me what a director is, the first answer that comes to my mind is that I don't know. The second answer is that all my opinions are incorporated into my films. I am against the division of the work, which is good for others involved in the film, but means nothing to me, a director, and it is inaccurate for me to think of the director only as part of a theoretical interpretation.

    Movie quotes

    • Male Black Radical Student #1: Listen, man, Molotov cocktail is a mixture of gasoline and kerosene. White radicalism is a mixture of bullshit and jive!

    • Female White Radical Student #1: I don't have to prove my revolutionary credentials to you. You know, there's a lot of white students who are already out on the streets, fightin' just like, just like you guys do in the ghetto. And, you know, there's a lot of unhappy, dissatisfied white people who are potential revolutionaries.

      Male Black Radical Student #1: You all, you all are dealin' with, you all are dealin' with things that are really irrelevant. But, see, you goin' back to the same thing that--you know, you get busted for grass and that makes you a revolutionary. Nah! When the pigs bustin' you on the head, see, kickin' down your door, stoppin' you from livin' when you can't get a job, you can't go to school, can't eat. That's what makes you a revolutionary. Dig?

    • Female White Radical Student #2: I think we understand. A lot of us have understood what makes Black people revolutionary. But, what's going to make white people revolutionaries?

      Kathleen: The same Goddamn thing that makes Black people revolutionaries.

      Female White Radical Student #2: But it's not happening the same way.

      Kathleen: You just wait. It will happen. You don't have to do anything to instigate it.
