Eclipse today. Alain Delon asked Vitti what was going on at night. Vitti said, "Why do people keep asking questions? There's no need to understand each other as long as you love each other." She looked out the window and added, "Or there's no need to love each other." Antonioni captures this feeling so well. When a woman kisses, her mind is always distracted, and she can't devote herself to it. They are sensitive and understand that love today cannot last forever. Worrying about losing, you can only accept it reluctantly. A man's ending can be tragic and solemn, but a woman's can only be sad, gentle and beautiful... I sometimes think at night: today is over, and I miss it very much. I know that there is only one way to have something that cannot be owned, and that is to never forget it.

    She is confused in the new world and he is the spokesman of this era. Their encounter is like a collision between tradition and modernity, attracting and guarding each other, and rejecting them with alienation. In the last 5 minutes, the empty scene where the protagonist is absent is compared with the lively voice of the exchange, which is more symbolic of how the disappeared protagonist should get back his connection with the world. In modern society, everyone has their place, but they often cannot find their place.

    The stock part expresses the concept of empty... and it's interesting to have space as a character in the end credits

L'Eclisse quotes

  • Vittoria: We spent the whole night talking things over. And for what? I'm so tired and depressed. Disgusted and confused. What can I say? There are times when holding a needle and thread, or a book, or a man - it's all the same.

  • Anita: Don't the hippopatami bother you?
