Everyone should have looked out the window in a daze. Although it looks like a daze, it is actually moving in the heart, thinking about someone or something. If you replace the window with a screen, and the seemingly unrelated people and things outside the window are a movie, what kind of mental activity will you have?
Antonioni's "Night" may be like 2 hours of scenery outside the window for some viewers. Nothing happened, but it was just a boring and ordinary day, which made people feel "boring". Usually, when we watch a movie, we habitually focus on elements such as plot development and actor performance. The picture itself has become a glass, but it is just for us to see the story we want to watch. But Antonioni's "Night" focuses on the information of the picture, and the storyline is secondary. Watching this film is like admiring a painting (Antonioni himself is a painter), the camera is his paintbrush, what he wants to paint, with which strokes and at what angle, is in it.
Antonioni once said in an interview that he only slowly learned what he was going to shoot when he started editing the film, and often shot according to his feeling during the shooting process. The director himself is an afterthought, why should we rush to find out? Let us soak in it first and feel it slowly.
Here I don’t want to over-analyze and interpret what the director wants to convey (of course he has something to express), in fact, I think over-interpreting the film will destroy the temperament and feeling of the film itself, as if loving someone doesn’t require loving her Make a list and analyze it with reason. Love is a feeling, and not loving is also a feeling. Analyzing a feeling is a disappointment. But after all, movies are a kind of art, and they don’t just depend on feeling. So I will briefly describe some of the pictures in the movie. As for what you think the director wants to give you, you can feel it yourself. (multi-picture warning ahead)
