The directors of the movies I watched recently are all very personal. The 58-year-old Antonioni made a very youthful work. The male protagonist who did not quite agree with the original intention of the student movement was involved in a violent incident and was stolen on the way to escape. On a private plane, he met a girl and made love, and was finally killed by the police. The story is over, what does the director want to say? Is it group sex in the desert? Or the final bombing of capitalism? I think the fuck YOU American that was deleted is what the director really wanted to express.
Young people under the background of hippie culture, seemingly great but confused and violent, in the spiritual desert of the United States, unscrupulous sex and escape, rich businessmen in the capitalist world, methodically circle the money, on the top of the mountain. The utopia, living like a dog. It's like living in two worlds, like two parallel lines, forced to cross each other will have a devastating ending.
Antonioni is not dystopian, not anti-capitalist, just anti-American society.
The language of the film is beautiful, but the director doesn't seem to have any ambitions for this film, but just wants to get angry, he tells the whole story along the timeline, and finally blows up the illusion of prosperity on the top of the mountain, venting his feelings. . I think I still think that movies should let people see an interesting story and experience an extraordinary life. For this film by the master, I have no way to give full marks in my mind.
