Antonioni's static and dynamic

As one of the "Modern Love Trilogy" in the 1960s, Director An completely broke the narrative of traditional love movies, has his own unique formalism and modernist philosophy, and has a mature sensitivity to character images. Processing, the silence in the image contains the touch and strongness of love, and there is a trace of desire in forbearance, repetition and multi-angle shots are similar to Tarkovsky’s "poetic" shooting methods, but its form of expression is far More desire and impulse than Tarkovsky, women's body parts are used as the narrative combination of "space", and "location" is the only shortcut to express abstract space. The space composed of the film is independent and alienated, producing black and white static objects. As well as the empty lens shooting technology of the landscape, the empty lens expresses not paying attention to the existence of the entity, but a purely audio-visual lens language space, recording people and describing the busy, world and people, and the scene of the sunset in the west. Give up the protagonist and move independently, and "wind" is the best filming element. The protagonist's hair blown up, the actor's eyes dodge, the fan turning left and right, and the frenzy of the document being blown by the wind, and the wind blown up The papers used to express the inner fluctuations of the two people at all times. Director An uses these to express how complex emotions become "beautiful" and have a minimalist compositional space to express them. When the protagonists are in a state of nothing to say In getting along with each other, the "wind" will be used more frequently, the beauty of the heroine’s hair blown up, and the ubiquitous sexy and indifferent face, there is no wave of language, but the heart is already Being guided by the security director expresses that the earth is turned upside down, people are good at disguising their appearances but not their hearts. During these two hours, Director An spent most of his time on character descriptions and scene composition design. “Realism” pursues aesthetic narration. Empty shots and a large number of montages will make audiences feel disgusted with the impulse of art films. The master’s forbearance and the heroine’s gloom make the whole film feel sad, anxious, and calm. The emotional support of this love film that hates “language”, conflicts with the head of the “vision lens” and the background The sound will also break the noise in the next second. In a noisy environment, the heroine is isolated and static in the "single space"; while the heroine is in a dynamic state, and the heroine is incompatible with the surrounding social environment. The reason why the heroine and nature match well, the main line of the narrative is shown in the second half of the film. The hero and the heroine have a new relationship, and the whole process is the indifference of the heroine to the hero and the looming, silent movement. Emotional characteristics, that's the end.

  • Vittoria: Why do we ask so many questions? Two people shouldn't know each other too well if they want to fall in love. But, then, maybe they shouldn't fall in love at all.

  • Vittoria: As long as we were in love, we understood each other. There was nothing to understand.
