Wonderful interpretation of film art

Guiseppe 2022-04-21 09:03:04

It's a one-sided praise for the film's color and visuals, and a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to the story.
The whole film gives people a sense of distress, hopelessness and powerlessness. All are in the modern labyrinth. Men are trapped in industry, responsibility, work, women are not only besieged by industry and modern society, but also by men, sex, children...
In the cubicle bed of the seaside hut, a bunch of men and women full of sexual desire, both Fill and escape. Women want to cheat, try hope, and get no hope. The color of the house can be various, red, blue, white, green... It can be just the color of the house, and people are always trapped in the house.
Maybe this is the epitome of modern society. People who are confused by "hue" are also besieged by "hue".
The car rushing to the beach is trying to get away from it all.
The huge ship is like a hope to leave.
In the end no one can get away from it all.
I really like the scene where I suddenly see a ship in the woods, full of magic...
The story of the girl and the beach: maybe it is a yearning for simplicity and nature. Pure, the relationship between man and nature...Nature is alive, and so are people, who can listen to each other. As the boat goes far, people are more and more deviated from their true colors.

    7.5/10 Bokeh, color, noise; the incapacitation of love, the ruins of civilization, the anxiety of modernity; the first "true" color film to construct a psychological reality by artificially recreating the color of the real object through spray painting. Middle class, too middle class [Can the sailor speak (Italian)?]; ]; modernist, too modernist [is Hollywood the other way around? ——Mr. Antonioni, I am more curious about you with the camera behind the lens than the content in the lens. ]

    8.0 The tenth anniversary of Anton's death. The first color film does not like the setting of the protagonist’s spirit that is really problematic. There may be metaphors, but the intention is actually obvious. In fact, modern civilization does not oppress people's spiritual world, but exposes its own barrenness. Unable to enter the peaceful island, all we can do is to fly around the dense smoke.
