The truth about being raped

Antonioni is asking: which is more real or unreal, and which is more unreal? The photographer took a picture of the woman on the grass, and then zoomed in and zoomed in on the photo. As a result, he saw the murder. It seemed that he was discovering a new reality from the real. It's all fictional. It's an illogical story that doesn't need to be logical, and it's not even a story. What Antonioni wants to express is a kind of emptiness of existence, a question of human spirit in modern society. His method is not narrative, but various imagery images. For example, photographers and enlarged photos are originally symbolic props. So the movie is loose, slow and entertaining from time to time, but the absurd scenes that are often thrown into it are interesting: for example, a group of young people dressed as clowns running in the street for no reason, and the fictional tennis at the end of the film. These are some well-known symbolic techniques of Sima Zhao's heart.

Strongly symbolic paragraphs are connected to form a script that seems to give up the narrative, but the core is clear. I like the director of Antonioni who knows what he wants and what he is doing. The invisible corpse is not recognized, but the non-existent tennis ball becomes the truth; the value that changes with the environment, the guitar handle changes from the target of fighting and looting to the tattered discarded on the street; these are the very inspirational philosophers will think of Allegory. It also discusses the nature of the camera itself, voyeurism and masculinity: the process of constant enlargement refers to the behavior of Peeping Tom; excellent shooting is like a rape, and women are the eternal object of being stared at. This in-depth reflection on the media alone is enough to make the work enter the ranks of the most important works in film history.

The core question raised by Antonioni in [Zoom in] is: when does things have a definite meaning and can actually exist. In the first second, it was regarded as a treasured broken guitar, and the next second, the political slogan inserted into the car was swept away by the wind. I didn't point it through until the end. It turns out that the core element is the opinion of the group. When the group recognizes the value of things, it is allowed to exist-it is really the sorrow of contemporary people.
