So, at the end, when the male and female protagonists persistently want to find their own subjectivity, the way they move the lens is changed, and they become the absolute core of the lens. In this way, the limitations and discoveries of people are highlighted, which reflects the persistence of the film itself.
Why are characters limited at the philosophical level?
As these two protagonists, they always wear a perfect outfit with a slightly old face. In fact, they are two sides of the same body.
The end of a love is more and more sorrowful, because in the end, men and women have become more and more alike, more and more lonely, and when they are separated, they actually know each other best.
Civilization is exhausting enough, I am afraid that no director can present a modern person like Antonioni. The heroine keeps taking off and putting on the coat, longing for the vision that is immediately alienated, which all the time reflects the anxiety of her own existence, the struggle of interpersonal relationships, and the inability to express feelings. She clung to her own world and did not dare to take the first step, even after shouting to the youth, even in the rainy night, all the exhaustion had been washed away, and she regained her innocence.
The actor is eager to change, whether it is the position of a writer or a new love; love once again becomes the core of life, which surprised me.
On the surface, he is willing to accept the beastly feelings, the attractive woman with a slight madness, or the elegant flirtation, the spiritual communion... all kinds of love, even changing jobs, on the surface, he is willing to accept, and even take the initiative. However, in essence, he is powerless in reality. He has his own absolute insistence on independent personality and cannot bear the rhetoric of others. I was surprised by his inquiries and profoundness. He couldn't bear the deliberate leftist words of young people in a fashionable party.
Therefore, two people who are frustrated in civilization, they are tired of everything, even love, because tiredness has long since eliminated love. When a woman sees them kissing, when a man sees his two women talking and laughing, I think they must hide a trace of relaxation under other psychological conditions. After all, they have finally come into contact with the real life. For the first time, they have Real emotions. Whether it was heartache, disappointment or something else.
It is indeed enough to be fed up with the injuries of those who dream of being alone in the world of oneself, when the individual has to stop in his own world, when civilization makes two people who know each other have to disagree, when a person’s various feelings come from the feelings of others Suspicion. So when the three people were together, I relaxed for the first time in this movie, because Antonioni finally took off the mask of civilization.
Love is not the warmth of the accumulation of time, it is just a kind of nostalgia; love is not a beautiful fantasy of eternity, not those elegant poems, and the inexhaustible secret emotions shared by both sides at certain moments. At the end, when the actor yells "Stop talking" while kissing, the essence of love is revealed.
what is it then? Antonioni has not allowed us to use words to explain. Love, perhaps at that moment, we are already suffering enough in civilization, and even because of civilization, we have become so alienated. I want to kiss you again.
