Adventures of Wong Kar-wai

"Adventures" is the second Antonioni movie to be watched in its entirety, the first being "Days on the Clouds".
The old man's film is very calm, like oxygen, the narrative is never impatient or impetuous, and there is no obvious conflict with externalization, everything seems to be the character's emotional undercurrent.
The scheduling and camera design are very quiet, with a sense of oriental tranquility and poetry in the picture.
The entry and exit of the characters are often used, sometimes leaving a single person, and sometimes entering the painting as a double, the combination of space and people fully participates in the narrative.
The last shot is very shocking, with a big panorama, the woman strokes the man's hair, the man sits in a chair in dejection, and the sea in the distance is boundless, and they wait quietly for time to heal all wounds.
Adventure is a kind of state, a kind of human void. The state and emotions of characters are the most difficult to film in movies, and An Shi is definitely a master.
After watching the adventure, I understand why Wong Kar-wai said that An Shi is one of his idols, because in "In the Mood for Love", I can really see the shadow of the adventure. Many Maggie Cheung's scheduling in "Flower" is almost exactly the same as the heroine in the adventure, and The feeling of helplessness and decadence between the hero and heroine in "Flower" is like watching the scene in the hotel segment in the color version of "Adventures". Of course, this is by no means plagiarism like some domestic directors. Definitely a new lyric master pays tribute to his predecessors.

    Need a clearer and larger screen, not a 17-inch computer monitor. There is no story, no adventure. They looked at her, and later, they looked at him, everyone embraced emptiness. Without communication, refusing to communicate, love becomes an impulse, and when time continues, it also goes away. Antonioni's choice of scenes is really compelling.

    The life of Europeans after the war is really empty...

L'Avventura quotes

  • Ettore: Princess, why don't you sell this villa? I'd turn it into a lovely clinic for nervous disorders.

    La principessa: It's already a little like that.

  • Patrizia: This luncheon was the last thing we needed. All these people's vitality irritates me.
