"Emotion" trilogy: "Adventure", "Night" and "Eclipse". Do not hesitate to shoot "unimportant" actions, slow, to avoid the loss of audio-visual details in the narrative. Theme: ①The ambiguity of the connection between man and reality. The disappearance and the "missing disappearance" (friends stop looking for Anna in the second half) can be linked to Barthes' interpretive code, which we are used to answering, but Antonioni refuses to answer. ②Both sex, "Eros is sick". A large number of shots of women are shot from the rear, "back to" subtle resistance to the male gaze, while the back is de-sexualized than the front, showing the original abstract beauty of the lines. Conversely, in terms of plot, the interchangeability/homogenization/essentialization of female individuals under the male gaze (Claudia replaces Anna, suggesting overlapping segments such as the black wig). ③The lonely, empty, and beautiful scenery symbolizes the inner emptiness of the bourgeoisie on the one hand, and deconstructs the difference between nature and culture with an aesthetic presentation (whether nature is stared at like the body). Broken ancient vases and empty churches are archetypal postmodern references to the past, symbolic rather than functional. Nor are our emotions and morals adapted to an irreversibly changing world. Characters: Corrado and Giulia - a marriage of indifference. Sandro - The weak that hides the emptiness with predation (Gloria with a ripped skirt and surrounded by men is the symbol of the object; career setbacks, crocodile tears at the end). Anna - The search for subjectivity (identity disappearing to escape social arrangements). Claudia (only she is not from the upper class) - integrity, clarity (compared to other characters) sense of value (mistouched the bell-rope, eager to answer, communicate). Impression Fragment: "In Italy, 40,000 people go missing every year, enough to fit in the San Siro stadium." Giulia flirts with the painter. 106' to chime the tower bell. 107' Claudia sings "No, No, You'll Always Be Me" while wearing stockings. 112' Sandro keychain tipped ink.
Although, Antonioni, I'm dying in your dead time. It's quite interesting to think about the story. Why does it seem so boring? It's not as good as the first "Zoom" I watched before, no wonder I was slotted in Cannes that year.
