"Red Desert" (Antonioni) This is a film about the "landscape", the so-called exploration of the topic of man as an animal of situation. So what are people like in such an "industrialized" area? First of all, the best thing about it is the description of the sound. In this industrial area, people live in a place where there is industrial noise all the time, and there is no silence at all. This perennial noise seems to give us a little basis for understanding the heroine's mental breakdown. Secondly, in addition to noise, there are also chimneys that emit industrial waste gas all the time. They bring "color" and "blur" to the environment, thus shaping the style of the entire image, and the frequent "bokeh" processing in the lens It seems to be responding to the thick smoke. It's the perfect combination of photography and story settings and the mental state of the characters. Therefore, I say this is a film of "landscapes", and these landscapes are stories in themselves, which complete the narrative and resonate with the soul. Watching foreign films in the 1960s such as "Twelve Angry Men" and "Red Desert", they all vaguely revealed a hint of thinking about the highly developed modernization. At that time, they had already completed the highly developed, but there was a kind of melancholy or even collapse. On the other hand, thinking about the current domestic movies, it is predicted that a wave of future domestic movies may gradually appear to reflect on modern civilization.
