After watching it at first, I didn't feel very deeply. I even thought that the director was actually a little too formal, and the deliberate handling of audio-visual and actors' movements seemed a bit "excessive" in my opinion. But after a few days, the picture of the movie is still clear in my mind, and the love of the protagonist in this industrialized red urban wasteland is not the point, the point is that the protagonist "surfs/passes" on his Antonioni-style walk. background. This is called the first "true" color film, and the director uses the audio-visual element of color to tell the story and shape the characters in the true sense. Green overhanging trench coats, over-saturated yellow toxic fumes and ambiguous, violent, distracting reds, gray fruits and all-consuming black. The collision and collocation of these colors depict the construction of an industrialized city and the fantasy of the heroine's love and affection. (The "Antonioni - Red Desert - Subjective Color" on the road of UP main fans in the color b station is very detailed!! Recommended to watch) Antonioni also used a lot of industrial roars in this film, this kind of mechanical The icy noise seems to announce that the heroine's heart has lost the ability and warmth to love her husband and son, and even her love for her lover is contradictory and vague. I think the director wants to reflect the performance of the whole group through the example of the heroine's incompetence of love, which means that the entire human group undergoing the process of modernization has lost its emotional ability under the rapid development of industrial technology, and is surrounded by smoke and smoke. Only the shriveled husks were left in the polluted water.
