Sandro’s tears are a confession. He is extremely empty, aware of the hypocrisy of life, praying for detachment from the hell of narcissism, no longer sinking into self-projected love, and no longer homogenizing all the erotic desires in the world, he and him The same-faced people who have fallen into the world's desires confessed in his weeping together; while Claudia used forgiveness, transcending the power of emotion, getting rid of anxiety, and rebuilding the self that can make moral choices.

The film begins with a fuzzy edge situation.

When the love with Sandro is about to end, but when it is not clearly cut off, Anna disappears, leaving behind a mystery. Sandro and Claudia face each other's uncontrollable passions while looking for Anna.

For Claudia, she had to "figure" the mystery several times. It was the mystery that Anna disappeared, and it was also the confusion between clarifying the emotions about eros and the emotions about morality. Her starting point is emotional intuition. The rational part of her love choice is dark, so fragile and changeable, swinging between intuition and desire. In the end, her own desires and the frightening shadows of the desire society that appeared in many strange men from all directions made her feel weak and insignificant. She needs an absolutely complete love containing passion and desire to get rid of anxiety, inconsistency, and puzzles. She fell to Sandro and retreated into the trap of security. Until the night after discovering that Sandro was showing love tenderly, like all other strange men, he fell on the same strange and faceless female.

Sandro's choice seems clear from beginning to end. He is masculine and passionate, and his basis is always current emotional facts and verbal evidence. His and Anna’s dying love feeling made him decide to pursue Anna’s best friend Claudia when Anna suddenly disappeared and his life and death were uncertain. He did not feel that there was any problem with using the same love words to different people. The passion was that. Sincerity is, in front of love, there is no need for external scrutiny; he looks down on the many strange men who are eager for porn stars, but he, like everyone else, recognizes that love can be clearly priced, as long as he wants, desires can be possessed at any time without fear Will it deny love? There is a clear distinction between passion and desire, and everything seems quite self-consistent.

Claudia is nothingness, she loses herself, lost in emotions; Sandro is narcissistic, he projects himself into everything, empty without knowing it. Two completely different and faint hearts collided in this fascination.

At the end, in the waning morning of the drinking party, Claudia ran into Sandro who was having sex with a girl, and the night before, Sandro gently confirmed his love before going to bed. When Claudia fell into restlessness and panic again, Sandro felt hypocritical and dirty.

When the fog disappeared, Sandro cried for the first time while looking at the snow-capped mountains. Facing the crying Sandro, after some hesitation, Claudia gently raised his hand and stroked Sandro's hair.

What is L'Avventura? Perhaps it can be understood as the emptiness of love, and it is infatuation. This is a helpless mutual confirmation in the face of the snow-capped mountains, what will happen afterwards? It will also be the inevitable reincarnation of hopeless infatuation, and the emptiness of the soul that cannot be shaken off. The difference lies in the mutual confirmation of the unsolvable puzzles.

And the scene in the last scene, because of its high degree of ritualization, has to make people feel a touch of religious meaning, L'Avventura can also be regarded as a miracle.

Sandro’s tears are a confession. He is extremely empty, aware of the hypocrisy of life, praying for detachment from the hell of narcissism, no longer sinking into self-projected love, and no longer homogenizing all the erotic desires in the world, he and him The same-faced people who have fallen into the world's desires confessed in his weeping together; while Claudia used forgiveness, transcending the power of emotion, getting rid of anxiety, and rebuilding the self that can make moral choices. Their adventures are sacred. They walk towards each other, re-examine people, and face the unpredictable other directly, just like two planets about to collide. In the infinite and true intersection of each other, they rebuild the relationship between people. Rebuild yourself as a person.

Where life breaks down, adventure also gives hope.
