The empty inner love can't be filled

Black and white images of Antonioni, one of the love trilogy. It tells about two moral and emotional adventures, and the shots are full of old movies.

Anna and Sandro are lovers. After a quarrel in the sea, Anna accidentally disappeared on the island, and everyone stayed on the island to search, but she never reappeared. Not long after Anna disappeared, Sandro fell in love with Anna's girlfriend Claudia. Despite the many struggles over moral restraint, Claudia was unable to withstand Sandro's pursuit; however, at the end of the film, Sandro Luo betrayed his feelings again, and was bumped into by Claudia and flirted with another woman. At the end of the story, the two looked at each other, and Anna's whereabouts were unknown.

The adventures happened in parallel, and Anna's intention always appeared at the moment when the two were emotionally entangled, and in the end, like a rock sinking into the sea, it disappeared completely at the end, and there was a sense of loss.

It seems that emotions are so erratic, entangled, sometimes repelling but intoxicating, and there is nothingness in loneliness. So often, the moral bondage and the sins of human nature are difficult to explain such a somewhat transcendental emotion. The emptiness of the middle class, the disintegration of human nature, and the collapse of human nature are all laid out in the picture. It is such an empty heart that no love can fill it up.
