"Adventure", "Night", and "Eclipse" are known as the "Trilogy of Human Emotions", and "Adventure" is the representative work of Anton's mature style. Anna and her long-awaited boyfriend Sandro, girlfriend Claudia, and two other couples of men and women travel together. They cruised among the sea, deserted islands, and volcanic rocks by ship. Anna jumped out of the sea to swim unconsciously. After a while, she would exclaim that there was a shark, and Sandro struggled to save her. When she returned to the cabin, she told Claudia that she had lied to her boyfriend and that there was no shark at all. She just wants to confirm whether her boyfriend loves her. In fact, she can't even prove whether she still loves her boyfriend. Before setting off, she and her boyfriend had a love, but her eyes were always erratic and uninvolved.
They came to a desert island, and Anna had a conversation with her boyfriend. Anna: "We have to talk. Are you sure we can't understand each other?" "We have a lot of time to talk. We will get married. Will there be longer than a lifetime?" "Marriage does not make any sense in this case "," Believe me, languages ​​are becoming more and more useless, they will only create misunderstandings. I love you, is this not enough?" "No, not enough. I want to have more time for me to be alone. Two Months, two years to three years. I know it’s ridiculous, I’m almost crazy, I used to think of losing you, I wanted to die, but now, I can’t feel you anymore, you always despise everything."
"Language is getting more and more useless", because language is becoming more and more false, people no longer believe it, just like Sandro himself always hangs "I love you" casually, does he really love Anna? Maybe he didn't even know it. Anna couldn't feel others. This feeling became more and more numb in the desire, doubt, and request for love, because their love couldn't stand the doubt and experience. Who doesn't often ask his own feelings "Do I really love him?" and "Does he really love me?" Even if Shanmeng swears by each other, such doubts will not be cut off. Only when I feel the suspicion that "I love him" and "he loves me" will temporarily disappear. Anna couldn't experience Sandro's love, and couldn't confirm his love for Sandro. He fell into confusion. Then she somehow disappeared on the desert island.
Anna left two books after her disappearance, one of which was a Bible, so his father concluded that she did not commit suicide. Sandro became ambiguous with Claudia just three days after searching, and Claudia fled in a panic. Anna's disappearance was quickly accepted by friends, and even smiled that 40,000 people disappeared in Italy every year. Claudia finally fell into Sandro's arms while searching for Anna with Sandro. They were still looking for Anna, but they really found out where Anna Claudia would go, and in turn, where would Anna go? So Claudia fell into absurdity and shame, always feeling that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes.
Sandro soon proposed to Claudia. Claudia was not sure whether he loved herself, so she always asked Sandro to say "I love you". Sandro said "I love you" and then said "I don't love you", Claudia said "it should be", and Sandro said "that's not true, I love you". No matter what Sandro said, I'm afraid he can't be sure of how he feels.
At the end of the film, Claudia goes to find Sandro who has not returned all night, but finds that he is sleeping with a prostitute. After all, love is reduced to impossible, and she leaves in despair. Sandro ran after him, but did not follow. He just sat on the chair next to him. He also shed tears. Claudia walked behind him, close-up, her hesitant hand, picked it up and put it down, and finally stretched out. He turned to his head, but his eyes were blankly looking into the distance. In the last shot, the right side of the background of the screen is a dark gray wall, and the left side is open, and the desert island in the distance can be seen faintly. Both of them were in tears. Claudia cried because he lost others and love, but Sandro cried because he lost himself.
What impressed me most was the conversation between the two on the roof of the church. Sandro said that he once designed a school and made four million in a day and a half. Claudia said that he believed he could create beautiful things. But Sandro said, who needs beautiful things today? How long can it last? These are the things of the last century, and now it lasts for 10 or 20 years at most. Isn't it the same with today's love? Cut corners, flashy, and row upon row of love tall buildings are mostly just "tofu dregs projects". How long is the shelf life of such "high buildings"?

    The picture of looking for someone on the island is really weird, so weird that the three of us all started to fall asleep from there, and then suddenly began to watch the love in the shadow of the dog-blooded ex. Still, the woman who can see clearly is deeply shaped, and the ending of the last hand is wonderful and magical.

    A composition used many times: the relationship between front and rear characters.

L'Avventura quotes

  • Claudia: Sometimes I wonder what I could have done to prevent all this from happening.

  • Il padre di Anna: This is a good sign. Don't you think? I think someone who reads the Bible wouldn't do anything rash, because it means they believe in God. So I would definitely rule out the suicide hypothesis, right?
