red desert

In a lifeless factory area in northern Italy ravaged by big entrepreneurs, birds are afraid to fly close to them for fear of being poisoned by yellow gas; a middle-aged woman in a bright green coat crosses the construction site when she sees a man chewing a small portion of a sandwich The employee, who was a little overwhelmed, went so far as to use the banknotes to buy lunch that possessed the spit of men, Antonioni used the harsh, pore-raising industrial noise for a long time to sting the beauty-loving, female-singing soul, and her coat was earth-friendly The color, the natural soil that loves the sapphire blue lake water is eroded by the steel root concrete, and the green is the small inch range that young women can stick to. Since she stepped into the factory, the white factory exhaust gas has faded the blue sky; the hoarse sound of hot steam spraying from the water pipe has destroyed the quiet soil, and the unfavorable environment for human beings has forced Giuliana to lose her mind and forget that she is the wife of the factory manager, Because of being in a polluted land, I have induced a long-standing depression and done scandalous deeds.

The young woman left the factory and changed into a light brown coat. She gestured to her male friends in a white interior, the blue and green stripes above the walls, which she personally wanted to add to the dull and monotonous white and brown buildings. Colors and emotions, unfortunately, even after leaving the manufacturing waste site where the colors are dim and birds will not approach, Giuliana's body and mind have been assimilated by the dead atmosphere and paleness of the town, and she has to wear the same color clothes to admit that the town and the countryside have eroded her yearning for the heaven, earth and mountains. However, the double-colored pen in the corner is a self-built psychological resistance, as well as a footnote to release sadness.

There is a house near the pier. The inner wall of the room is painted bright red. Six men and women are chatting inside. It is obviously affected by pigment. The middle-aged man with a large bald top of his head said that eating eggs can help aphrodisiac, and aphrodisiacs all over the world. Smell, when talking about excitement, he used a few glasses of wine to strengthen his courage, and his hands began to caress the calf of the blonde girl in green next to her, enjoying the smile of the girl in green; Giuliana's husband, regardless of his status as the factory manager, also stroked the girl next door. On the back thigh, the difference is that he did not lift the skirt, and caressed it through the fabric, which was slightly more restrained than that of a man full of yellow rumors; Giuliana, who was easily influenced by color, was infected with bright red lust, and issued a request to have sex with her husband in front of everyone. The red color cannot affect Ugo, who calmly observes the absurd farce. He uses caring eyes to sympathize with his friends who are out of control from time to time. Although Benji has a high status, he can't control his senses in his self-built red cell, and liberates his skin relatives. Putting the wood blocks into the hearth and burning it is an afterthought for liberation, hating the environment, manipulating people's minds and wisdom. Ugo sees it clearly, his best friend is still aftertastes the aroma of wine and flesh, and laughs at him for being reckless.

The young woman Giuliana saw the ship several times, the ship standing on its feet on the waves, which is a hint of freedom, not bound by bondage. Her husband does not understand his wife's desert crusade, the desert is endless and the drought is unbearable, her spirit is disturbed by vicious exhaust gas, and the family is also occupied by industrial products: the son's toy is a walking robot and a simulated laboratory arrangement , The son used blue water droplets to scribe the word on the white cloth, and the mother's eternal law that one plus one equals two, the technology culture has obviously banned the son's innocence, and later his pretended paralysis of both feet was the director's desire to express war. After the rapid development of the industrial revolution, people have been blocked from getting close to the world; the industrial orientation of the world is like the dense fog that seeps into the wharf and emits harmful gases, cutting off the young woman's sight. The husband and friends she can rely on are fleeting. The town is no longer the girl in the bedside story that the mother tells her son, which symbolizes the mother swimming freely when she was a child, there is no exhaust gas, and only the clear water and sand can be seen. The main point is the psychological reaction to the consciousness that he can't let go of his beloved son.

When the mother returned to the factory, she reminded her son that the white smoke killed the birds, and not to walk near the hot steam from the water pipe. She gave up her personal freedom in the industrial world, walked alone in the desert forever, and could not find a way to heal her trauma.

    The confusion, confusion and fear caused by many unknowns arising from industry and modernization have been thought and explored in the period of my parents. So far, we have clarified a lot of confusion, but there are more problems that emerge in an endless stream that are even more confusing. Perhaps human beings have always lived like this, preaching preaching and being puzzled by karma one after another, and have never stopped searching up and down. The picture is too beautiful and extremely comfortable, especially the story of the girl on the island, the blue water, the pink beach, the beautiful girl with bronze skin, the reef that has been washed away like a body, and the singing from the reef. The joy of a man and a woman in a red wooden house, the striking and small mother and son under the giant gray chimney of the factory.

    Antonioni's bewilderment, loneliness, and unease, from the neurotic facial expressions and body language of the beautiful and sad Monica Vitti, to the desolate and foggy industrialized background, to the eerie and noisy noises that spread out like a chaotic watercolor painting, I slowly complained with a rich and colorful palette... and finally became a cold, liquid nitrogen-like wall formed by emotions.
