The pace of the movie is really slow, you have to have enough patience. The translation of Youku video is full of confusion, and the understanding of the movie is also a layer worse.
I saw the comments on Youku and thought it was very good. "We thought we were still in love with each other, but in fact we were in love with the original person. From the moment that love happened, it was dying. What we have insisted on for so many years is just a kind of inertia of life--- ----The so-called family relationship (one of many social relationships), the person we loved has long gone, and the person around us has become so unfamiliar. When you reread yesterday's love letter, the sweetness at that time has become Infinite sadness. Life can’t go backwards, so why relive the feelings?”

    I especially like the rain scene in this movie. It’s a stroke of genius, and it’s a slap in the face. It’s the beauty of the breeze in the bamboo forest. I remember writing a film review when I was in college. It's very comfortable and beautiful. I saw this movie again today, and I saw her say quietly, I didn't think about anything, just waiting for an idea to come out. There were no constraints in the previous movies, and all the techniques were like the rain falling from the sky, making everything look good and sound.

    Surrounded by crowded crowds and images of standing cities, people fall into a state of troubled helplessness. Antonioni's space is full of expansion and erosion, as if the modern social situation is trying to strip people's emotions away. The dazzling modern life is to develop material enjoyment to the extreme, leaving only the desolation of the heart. This separation of spirit and flesh, the exclusion and oppression of the inner world by the outer space, form an extremely contradictory state of the characters. Antonioni's characters are always looking for something, and although the result is mostly nothing, this search emotion always spreads in the film. The answer is nonexistent. Just like the missing girlfriend in "Adventures" and Godot in "Waiting for Godot", they are all dilemmas that modern people cannot get out of.

La Notte quotes

  • Giovanni: You bought it? I wanted to bring you a copy.

    Tommaso Garani: I didn't just buy it. I'm reading it too. I've only read 50 pages so far. I hope they'll let me finish it. I like certain parts very much, like the whole thing about the bath. It's your best work ever, if the morphine hasn't warped my judgment. Morphine makes everything seem important.

    Giovanni: Then it's definitely the morphine.

  • Tommaso Garani: Quite a place, eh? Everything I used to hate in terms of style. I never thought I'd end my days in such luxury. I feel like a fraud.
