Although the subject is deep, I have no intention of your way of talking

It was Antony's lifelong belief to illustrate the three views with images, so he recklessly abandoned all elements of classicism. The film deeply explores how the authenticity of things is established and subverted. The duality of photographers is like the ugliness in the bright appearance of the real society, and the mental emptiness of people in modern society is numb and confused but extremely blindly obedient. Still inspiring. But the illogical and flawed plot shows that there are always low-IQ high-emotional artists.

    Aside from the still deeply fascinating theme (being/nothingness), one of the main things that attracted me to this Antonioni was the sound. At the beginning, I was attracted by the noise/silence combination, and the natural sounds in the park were also amplified. In addition, the fascinating application of glass mirrors is again seen in Antonioni's work. The switch from a subjective perspective to a director's perspective is also amazing. After the tennis ball is thrown at the end, the sound of the tennis game gradually emerges, which is wonderful.

    The camera was addictive to use, and it was used to replicate the world when the human landscape began to change at a dizzying rate. The scene captured by the viewfinder is a sign of the past presence, and even because of its complete time and space cut, it will be regarded as a substitute for memory. But if you only want to appear through the lens, relying on the image of a specific scene frame, complete the presence, and confirm the existence, then it is inevitable to return to Plato's cave as the way to end.
