Time flies.
I just watched "Blow up" this summer. It was very depressing and vaguely after I watched it. Thinking of something but not recording it, it took about ten and a half days to hear that Antonioni had passed away.
They often disrespectfully think in private that these masters who have penetrated human emotions "deserve to be cursed." They are like snakes in the Garden of Eden to lure Eve into stealing the forbidden fruit, so that all beings will learn of good and evil and be ashamed and cannot survive. Antonioni’s world of images is indifferent, joking, and ambiguous about right and wrong. However, this attitude is used to interpret the “disturbance”, “emotional autism” and “real ruins” that match. The addition of color makes the narrative richer. Reliability, this is Antonioni’s second color film, but he has to admit that his grasp of color is also unique. The aesthetic claims of the previous "Red Desert" realized through color need not be repeated. Like other European directors, Antonioni uses slow, long-shot narratives and expressions of connotation. This is often the point that I am most worried about when watching European movies. Polysemous expressions receive various interpretations, and over-interpretation is when criticizing masters. Most often, the meaning of some shots just needs to be broken. Long explanations will only make me feel blasphemous and mocking of the master. Of course, this does not mean that I would think that the over-explained shots are useless or too long. of.
"Zoom In" is not a movie that makes it easy for people to see the passion. This is caused by the characteristics of the long-lens depth-of-field lens. Fortunately, some people in the pastime film will treat "Zoom in" as a suspense film. The curiosity is what they watch. A big motivation, the photographer, by constantly zooming in on the negatives, found the pistol hidden in the bushes and an unknown murder case, but in exchange for only disappointment, because the suspense was not explained in the end, there is no element in 5W that is clear, this Unlike the suspense film, only the result is open-ended, and the director has no intention of narrating the suspense itself, but collapses everyone before the truth is obtained. The negative is taken by the mysterious girl and the body is gone. The truth is fleeting. It even makes people wonder whether it has ever existed. How credible can it be based solely on the photographer's visual judgment? The only photo remaining in the end can be called the last step to pry into the truth. However, there is no series of negatives like a film-like statement, and the "truth" is still meaningless.
In addition, the passages at the beginning and the end are also very classic and interesting. A group of jokers (or hippies or clown actors, mime actors) who are shouting all the time, they play in the streets of the prosperous city with no one else, and the poor social class. The huge contrast between, and the construction of a strict social order form a violent impact. It makes people think of Dariofo’s "The Unexpected Death of an Anarchist" or Meng Jinghui’s adaptation of their unscrupulous carnival under the constraints of secular morals. , Has no intention of gaining the understanding of others, and others have indifferent and accustomed eyes to him. The last tennis match they played out of thin air on the tennis court in the park was very interesting. There was no ball and racket, but it was very intense. What's more, not only the onlookers clowns flicked right and left with the transparent sphere very intently. The camera lens is also shaking over the stadium. This is the perspective of the clowns as well as the director’s perspective. (The director’s perspective is used many times in the film to lead the audience). It is difficult to judge whether a ball really exists. In this meaningless act, there is no need to expect an explanation of the act.
It can be said that Gonzalez’s trilogy of estrangement learned Antonioni’s fur, and Hollywoodized and commercialized it. However, his compromise and flattery to US imperialism have not been fully recognized, but as a special reference to European films It's Antonioni's tribute, I think "Tong Tian Pagoda" is still possible. I faintly feel that Hollywood movies focus on "searching", while European movies focus on destroying this search, magnifying the inability to reverse the gap between people, and discovering the lonely and autistic nature of human nature. If Antonioni is also searching , Then what is looking for is the truth itself, and all he can do is to tell you in every possible way: You can’t find the truth, the truth is dead!
