The film directed by Antonioni focuses on the way of telling, and this one is no exception. The familiar spatial arrangement is also very particular about the use of sound and imagery. The turbulent ocean waves-inner restlessness, crisp birdsong-emotional growth , The galloping train - the rushing lust of the two... The front and back are abandoned, and the deep scheduling of the characters from far and near is widely used, which not only highlights the subject of the stare and the stare, but also symbolizes the closeness and estrangement of the two protagonists. relation;
The structure of the film seems to be loose, but in fact it is always closely related to the three adventures of the male and female protagonists. The first time they met and developed emotions, the second time the female protagonist began to accept and fall into it, and the third time, they recognized the reality, interspersed with a lot of details. The female protagonist's motives and emotional changes tend to be smooth and reasonable, such as using friends and painters to evoke the female protagonist's memories of her missing girlfriends to meet the male protagonist, seeing a distant island and eagerly looking for the male protagonist who has not returned all night, etc. There are many foreshadowings such as celebrities who are sought after by everyone before the derailment.
In terms of character setting, the male protagonist is immersed in short-lived pleasures, resisting eternal, classical things and beauty (with the director's personal emotions), while the female protagonist endures moral condemnation and fear of the resurrection of girlfriends (insecurity) , distorted emotions, and finally ended with the male protagonist's confession and the female protagonist's understanding;
Of course, the problem of the movie is also quite obvious. There are too many redundant parts at the beginning. The characters on the stage are mixed, the plot is messy, and the male protagonist's emotions are also lacking. It is good to arrange another scene according to the director's tone. The spatial narrative is relatively conventional, but it is sufficient. It was a work that shocked the world at the time.
