Black and white movies can also be shot so beautifully

After studying for a while in the ancient self-study room in Xixi, I found the old Toheng teaching building and came to Toheng for the first time to watch a movie.

The first time I watched Antonioni's film, my first impression was the beauty of art. At first glance, the heroine is already beautiful. The empty flagpoles rustling in the night, the interior design and decoration, and even the hollow bricks on the street corners give people a sense of space beauty.

Senior Liu Xiao said that the final ending of the film is a kind of record of the modern society at that time. It seems to me that there may also be a sense of the passing of time (we are all eroding time), or the non-uniform speed of the passing of time: the buildings that have not yet been built and the water that gradually flows away from the barrels (the water is always flowing, and the surface of the water symbolizes men and women The symbol of the Lord’s love has also been floating), these two points seem to be compared with the daily life of the people around → the time of the male and female protagonists and the time of daily people are not equivalent, sometimes slow/sometimes fast.

Another teacher also mentioned this, and Antonioni used such a special ending to reflect the final love state of men and women: both of them missed their appointments.

———————————— Some records

1. Antonioni: Love drama between men and women

2. The heroine is very beautiful (laughing shot)

3. At the end, I shoot various tunes of the modern city, and record the mood of modern people at the end, record!

4. Keep the subtleties of the relationship between men and women at one point

5. Hang up all the phone calls while flirting, life isn't all good

6. When the heroine is hesitating whether to develop further, a Christian, Catholic morality appears

7. Art is created for entertainment itself

    1. I wish I hadn't loved you, or loved you more. What distinguishes modern love from classical love is that any bump in a crowded life or a random emptiness in a boring stroll may dissipate. There's love, but that's enough to make a fool of yourself. 2. However, love is just an introduction. The film is extremely rich in meaning, including reflections on colonialism and the possibility of exotic life; there is mourning for the loss of tradition (through Alain Delon's temperament and the legacy of his ancestors full of art. The incompatibility of luxury mansions); there are poignant satires of the way the bourgeoisie seeks their fortune (a minute’s silence on the stock exchange is a particularly explicit one); and there seems to even be a cryptic reference to the nuclear threat: the mushroom in the title sequence Water tower, huge and unusual street lights at the end of the film. 3. One of the best endings in film history: the abnormal cross-axis implies the doomed alienation of the hero and heroine. Then, the camera lost the hero and heroine. Seven and a half empty mirrors, everything that is silent as a mystery, the world is speaking in our unknown language. Antonioni said, I love objects as much as I love women.

    The beginning is like a black-and-white silent film, silence, short shots, character movement, broken space, a sense of unease at the touch of a button (such as the explosive force at the end). There are documentary and experimental traces at the end. Explore the relationship between people and modern space, see and feel the world through Monica Vitti's sensitive perspective, like a child who is alienated from observation. Occasionally playful, elusive, unpredictable. Death and Eros. Repeating scenes: monk, galloping carriage, stroller

L'Eclisse quotes

  • Vittoria: We spent the whole night talking things over. And for what? I'm so tired and depressed. Disgusted and confused. What can I say? There are times when holding a needle and thread, or a book, or a man - it's all the same.

  • Anita: Don't the hippopatami bother you?
