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.

    Whether it is in the wilderness space on an isolated island or in a man-made space that is constantly drifting away, human emotions always seem to exist amid uncertainty and doubt. On the one hand, women are indulged in the temptation of love, but at the same time they suffer from the suspicion and fear brought by love. This emotion cannot find a home in people, trying to release it in the constantly changing space, but it seems to be more and more suppressed. At the end of the film, the woman strokes the man's head, and the background in the distant view shows the fragile emotion we don't want to face. Antonioni discovered this emotional trap, but couldn't find a way to solve it. He could only stand like the male protagonist and be horrified all the time.

    #filmarchive# It is beautiful to depict the chaos of thoughts with the hair around the naked neck of a woman. The missing Anna is the only one who escaped soberly. Almost every couple is frivolous and exhausted, but the most passionate hero and heroine are guilty. After the passion, they return to the same pattern cycle. Many people around me show similar indifference and emptiness before they reach the standard of living in the middle class...

L'Avventura quotes

  • Claudia: Sometimes I wonder what I could have done to prevent all this from happening.

  • Il padre di Anna: This is a good sign. Don't you think? I think someone who reads the Bible wouldn't do anything rash, because it means they believe in God. So I would definitely rule out the suicide hypothesis, right?
