    All Jingyu is a love language, and color has been endowed with the magic of artistic expression for the first time, "the first true color film". The so-called red desert is a bloody desert in which the human spirit has been alienated by the constant destruction of modern industry. Monica Vitti, the best spokesperson for neurotic young...

    The hair color is so beautiful. The heroine is so good. The short story is absolutely amazing. Although it looks like industrial oppression in general, the details are limited and the understanding is not in place. Although I don't understand it well, it seems to be very powerful. Haha very...

    The thick smoke from the chimneys of the factory permeated the whole film, which not only caused damage to the environment, but also blinded the hearts of the people who lived there. There are many symbolic and metaphorical shots and scenes in the whole film, which can be recalled and reflected...

    Antonioni's bewilderment, loneliness, and unease, from the neurotic facial expressions and body language of the beautiful and sad Monica Vitti, to the desolate and foggy industrialized background, to the eerie and noisy noises that spread out like a chaotic watercolor painting, I slowly complained with a rich and colorful palette... and finally became a cold, liquid nitrogen-like wall formed by...

    One of Antonioni's key words is: panic, an indescribable and deadly spiritual panic, there are "Night" and "Eclipse" facing people themselves, "Zoom" and "Red Desert" facing modern developed society. What I still feel is "Eclipse". Maybe each movie touches a different target. I really want to ruthlessly criticize his hypocrisy in some aspects, but this kind of panic does...

    4k repaired version @小西天. 1. Undoubtedly a transformation and a landmark in Antonioni's films: the first film in color, the last film with a female lead, the last Italian film in the strict sense. 2. The "painter" Antonioni, obsessed with composition, lines and shapes in the era of black and white films, has finally completed his arsenal. Color is the real protagonist in this film. An's deliberately changed the real colors of real life, saturated colors and soft colors form a cool and solemn...

    Every time red appears, it is like "lure" Juliana out of the prison of reality. Antonioni's first color film expresses the coldness and emptiness of the industrial age with color. Juliana struggles in the dark reality and the red dream all the time. Attracted her to escape, but she was full of fear of red in her heart. In the end, she was "green" and could only escape the poisonous "yellow" fog under the "blue-gray" sky and continued to look for the exit of...

    The spirit of the industrial age is full of poison, life is worthless and there is no escape, there is indifference and numbness everywhere, sex can't solve anything, and even close family relationships are indifferent. The innocent sea of ​​girlhood disappeared, and ships sailed into the desert. Very appropriate neurotic...

    . The director uses a very obvious contrast of colors to emphasize the repression and alienation of modern industrial products on the human spirit. The so-called red desert is like a blood-splattered desert, a blood-soaked desert that has devastated human nature in the age of machine...

    Neuroticism, depression. Industrialization has brought about emotional alienation of human beings. The director who transitioned from black and white to color has a strict pursuit of color, as do Ozu and Godard. It's just beautiful. "—Why is the smoke yellow?—Because it's poisonous.—Will a bird die if it flies over it? -- So the bird doesn't fly over it." Is this sentence a wake-up call to the...

    I'm so stupid why I need someone else.

    A few lines:
    "I'm so stupid why I need someone else. I love everyone who has loved me.
    "We've all been tortured and we all need help.
    "I'm not a celibate woman, but my body feels lonely.
    "The smoke is yellow because it's poisonous. The bird was poisoned to death, but the future ones won't fly."...

Red Desert quotes

  • Giuliana: There's something terrible about reality and i don't know what it is. No one will tell me.

  • Giuliana: [voiceover: Giuliana is recounting a fable to her son, as a depiction of the fable is shown on screen] There was a girl who lived on an island. Grownups bored her, and frightened her too. She didn't like kids her age. They all pretended to be grownup. So she was always alone, with the cormorants, seagulls, and wild rabbits.

    Giuliana: [voiceover continues] She'd discovered a small beach far from town, with crystal-clear water and pink sand. She loved that spot. The colors of nature were so beautiful, and there was no noise. She'd leave only when the sun did too.

    Giuliana: [voiceover continues] One morning, a sailing ship appeared. It wasn't like the usual boats that passed by. This was a real sailing ship, the kind that had braved stormy seas all over the world - and who knows, maybe even beyond. Seen from afar, it was a splendid sight. But up close, it took on a mysterious air. There was no one aboard. It paused for a few moments, then turned, and sailed off, as silently as it had come. She was used to people's strange ways, so she wasn't surprised.

    Giuliana: [voiceover continues] But no sooner was she back on shore, when...
