The truth about being raped

Antonioni is asking: which is more real or unreal, and which is more unreal? The photographer took a picture of the woman on the grass, and then zoomed in and zoomed in on the photo. As a result, he saw the murder. It seemed that he was discovering a new reality from the real. It's all fictional. It's an illogical story that doesn't need to be logical, and it's not even a story. What Antonioni wants to express is a kind of emptiness of existence, a question of human spirit in modern society. His method is not narrative, but various imagery images. For example, photographers and enlarged photos are originally symbolic props. So the movie is loose, slow and entertaining from time to time, but the absurd scenes that are often thrown into it are interesting: for example, a group of young people dressed as clowns running in the street for no reason, and the fictional tennis at the end of the film. These are some well-known symbolic techniques of Sima Zhao's heart.
