The only bright and colorful scene in the film is when the heroine is telling a story to a child. The blue sea, blue sky, sunshine, beach and sea are beautifully presented in front of the audience. The content of the story is that a girl lives freely by the sea. One day, several sailboats sailed to the sea. The little girl's life has changed since then, and she began to understand people's strange behavior. Obviously, the ship symbolizes modern civilization, and the little girl and the heroine themselves symbolize all human beings. Antonioni tells the audience through metaphors that the spiritual change of the heroine is the result of modern civilization, and the destruction of the living conditions and natural environment of the whole person is also the result of modern civilization - "Sailboat" implies the era of great sailing, and modernity is becoming more and more comprehensive. World expansion.

Giuliana: Are you a leftist or a rightist?
Corrado Zeller: Why do you ask such a question? Are you interested in politics?
Giuliana: Good Lord, no. I was just wondering.
Corrado Zeller: It's like asking, "What do you believe in?" Those are big words, Giuliana, that calls for precise answers. Deep down... one doesn't really know what one believes in. One believes in humanity... in a certain sense. A little less in justice. A little more in progress. One believes in socialism... perhaps. What matters is to act as one thinks right - right for oneself and for others. In other words, with a clean conscience. Mine is at peace. Does that answer your question?
Giuliana: That's some bunch of words you strung together.
