Camylle 2022-04-20 09:02:11


"Adventures" (1960) won the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in France! Antonioni insisted on the appearance of blankness when the incident occurred.
This film is based on finding Anna as a clue to explore the moral concept of human nature. At the end of the lens, we did not see the reason and final result of Anna's disappearance! At the beginning of the film, it is a conversation between Anna's father and daughter. In this section, we pay attention to his scheduling and the sense of distance of intimacy! Then, Anna and her friend Claudia came to the downstairs of Sandro's house. Anna went up, and Claudia was waiting below. This series of actions first brought us into his spiritual world! This without hesitation led to the emotional entanglement between Claudia and Sandro after Anna disappeared. Anna gave Claudia a dress, which emphasized friendship, but Claudia, who was still struggling with morality at first Still haven't escaped the temptation of his own will, but Sandro had a relationship with another woman, in exchange for money, but this is not difficult to understand, this is the image Sandro has always shown us, and it is also the real society. The image that exists in the film, Antonioni is using the film to criticize this society! The film ends with Sandro sitting on a stool and Claudia coming over! This is giving us room to reflect, is Sandro reflecting? Has Claudia been forgiven? We need to think for ourselves!
