always confused

Watching Antonioni's films, in short, there is a quiet mood and detachment, and after "quiet", he more or less prevents you from leaving easily, sometimes it is a face, a movement, sometimes It's something inexplicable. You're expecting something to appear, but it still won't satisfy you. Suddenly, a scene, or something, makes you feel stupid and stunned...
But, that's the charm ! In "Zoom", he used a quiet and delicate town, cynical artistic youth and a group of women to spread out a kind of life. When watching the plot introduction, I thought it was just a prelude, but I didn't expect it to take up half of the film, so I wondered what he was trying to do. Could it be this kind of sentiment that makes people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves?
The young man walked into the park to take pictures secretly. He is curious, the woman is gone, he misses him, he is intoxicated...
A murder conspiracy case is slowly "zoomed in" in the lower half, and uncovered! It seems that the film has reached its climax. Now that I think about it, watching Antonioni's film, I was wrong. I didn't wake up like that young man! The director saw through our hearts!
Then something went wrong in life: the woman was missing... There seemed to be something going on in the park in the afternoon... like a conspiracy!
The protagonist is involuntarily looking for the answer, or it is better to accept it!
"Someone was killed, oh, dead, really dead!"

I was thinking at the time, shouldn't he be so sorry for the death of a stranger?
He is not! Should not be!
what is it then? Let him tremble, be in a trance, be blurred!
Those sentiments are gradually disappearing, and the moisture is disappearing... On
the green grass, the noise and quiet are terrible, a group of young people who are intoxicated in "acting"...
