nun on the cloud

I finally finished watching "Days on the Clouds". I was looking forward to watching this film a long time ago, but I still couldn't get up the courage. In the face of Antonioni's obscure scenes, I have already experienced the pain of "Eros" once, and I have a deep grudge.
However, I still watched it in the end, aiming at Sophie Marceau. It's not particularly difficult to understand. At least I have a feeling of cleansing the soul. The theme and the background of the meaning have been interpreted many times. However, what moved me the most was precisely in the last story, the girl who was chased for a long time said helplessly at the door: "I'm sorry, I'm going to the monastery tomorrow."
Such a calm woman can see through In the prosperous world, facing him who was chasing after him, dim tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes. It was the light and the fire of his heart. At this time, the light of the film is extremely dim, and the loneliness of wandering around is revealed in the dark yellow.
Only this dialogue is left: "What if I told you I love you?" "It's like lighting a candle in a bright room." She watched the candle light, but she could never have a momentary brilliance.
The protagonist of the film, the poet-like director, looked out the window at the drizzle, looked at the scenery of others, and slowly disappeared into the shadows.
