Women as male vassals and redemption

Ed 2022-04-20 09:02:11

As soon as men and women advance and retreat, the relationship between the two sexes is only possible for a long time. Claudia took advantage of Anna's disappearance to enter Sandro's love world. She felt tormented in her heart, but she sometimes resisted and sometimes charmed in her performance, which was really unpredictable and refreshing. Sunderland took a firm step that symbolized the innate self-confidence of men, and got close to Claudia, making her confused. When Claudia was intoxicated by the smell of Sunderland's shirt, her hands wandering in the air, and repeatedly begging Sunderland to say she loves herself, the image of a submissive little woman in love makes her pores dilate.

But compared to the flickering sweetness, pain and entanglement are the dominant emotions of Claudia. The sound of shattered and messy high-heeled shoes revealed her concern for love; although she pretended to be strong in the close-up, her eyes were full of crystal sadness; when she found out that Sunderland was making out with another woman, she ran to a high place, The heart is broken like the broken walls behind her, the ruthless wind penetrates the crumbling building and also penetrates Claudia's heart, and the swaying amorous willow shrouds the hazy heart of this sad and desperate woman.

A more ingenious design of the film is that when Claudia discovered Sunderland's physical derailment, he did not immediately leave the woman's body to explain, but hid in the woman's body as if he had done something wrong. And Sunderland's last tears were filled with endless remorse, he couldn't control his lust, and the love he gave was so cheap. In his tears were remorse for Anna who had disappeared, and remorse for Claudia, who had expressed her fiery love the night before. And Claudia's tears flowed for Anna, but also for herself. When Sunderland cried like a helpless child at the end, Claudia, like a righteous mother, finally stroked Sunderland's head gently, which was a kind of forgiveness. In front of the dilapidated church, men's dignity and moral bottom line are on the verge of collapse, and their psychology is even more facing collapse. Although Sunderland has always dominated Croatia's heart in the previous paragraphs of the film, (Claudia's failure to deliver Sunderland's body has explained to a certain extent her distrust and shame and doubts about her own actions), But at the last pinch, men still have to rely on women for redemption.

    1. The lens picture is small and fresh in black and white; 2. The isolated island segment is impressive. 3. "The first of the modern love trilogy", lonely souls and disturbed emotions; 4. Can men's tears be redeemed? !

    #filmarchive# Antonioni said that since Sandro has fallen in love with Claudia, there is no need to care about Anna's whereabouts. In 1966, when answering a question from a film critic, Godard used films such as "Adventures" as an example, declaring that he agreed that a narrative film should have a beginning, a middle and an end, "but not necessarily in accordance with This order is not acceptable." After "Adventures", "plotless" films were all the rage.

  • Claudia: To think that you must have told Anna these same things--I don't know, how many times.

    Sandro: Let's say I did. I was as earnest with her as I am now with you.

  • Sandro: I've never met a woman like you who needs to see everything clearly.
