everything is in vain

This sentence appeared after my wife learned that a 22-year-old girl was being pursued by her husband, and I think it can be regarded as the key word of the whole film. They were deeply in love and the wife knew why she chose this man over the one in the hospital - because you always think about yourself and he always thinks about me - what a ridiculous reason, But this is love. This kind of love occurs more in women. Decades later, it's true that you make your wife feel deserted by thinking about you. She longed for her husband to think of herself, soaked in the bathtub, she asked him to deliver things, stood naked in front of him, and later said that I didn't want to go out, I just wanted to be with you, and every time the husband didn't respond. From this, it can be concluded that the problem is that everything is thinking of you. Only then did we understand why a woman couldn't help but leave early after visiting an old friend; she couldn't bear the torture of what would have happened if she had chosen this man in the first place, so she had to walk away. In fact, the couple came and left together. After she left early, she stood outside the hospital and cried while waiting for her husband.
So then she told her husband that she didn't love him anymore I thought it was a prevarication: essentially his heart had left her. He wasn't indifferent to love, he just needed another woman to rekindle the fire. This girl appeared at the PARTY at night, and he was chasing after her. His confession, "I have always been accustomed to drinking dew, but when I entered the city, I found out that I fell in love with wine and became an alcoholic" can be seen as proof of a change of heart.
Antonioni didn't let the girl accept a man because she didn't believe in love. He knows that if she destroys a family today, then her and his family are at stake too. So, after a few people, after a few turns, life has returned to its original state, but can the love that has disappeared come back only after being honest and frank? I am skeptical. Even for family and other reasons, it is very rare for a lost love to really come back.
Everything is in vain, and this is the truth.

    The dark line theme of the erosion of human spiritual life by industrial civilization runs through, and a series of industrial elements such as the sound of airplanes, rockets, architectural landscapes, trains, and electricity are placed in various corners of the film. The female protagonist walks by a large area of ​​white wall, and the design at the edge of the picture is from the inside to the outside. Antonioni is really good at audiovisual metaphors, everything reflects the heart and spirit from the inside out, great! 94 points

    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.
