I watched it at noon when I was most sleepy, and the more I watched it, the more sleepy I became. The main story came out very slowly, 100 minutes of film, until about 30 minutes, the real story has just begun. I fell asleep immediately after watching it, and woke up vaguely feeling that I had watched a black and white movie. But on second thought, no, it's colored.
Antonioni uses black and white inside and color outside to deceive the visual appearance. The protagonist has been wearing a blue-to-white shirt, white trousers, printing black-and-white photos, and living in a closed and monotonous studio. But on the contrary, the outside world is a variety of colors. Young beggars dressed as clowns have various makeups on their faces, and the quiet park is a large area of quiet green.
The most interesting is the process of "amplification" - suspicious parts (subconsciously justified) - rearrangement (given new time chain and causal chain) - corpse (corpse is identified) - corpse disappears (no one is left) Believe, the cross-shaped guitar was thrown on the street) - Psychological surrender (look up, slide into an arc).
Ultimately, fiction replaces reality. (Dai Jinhua)
In fact, when the story begins, it is similar to Hitchcock's "Rear Window". The two male protagonists did not see the process of the murder, but they both "identified" the murder through their own judgment. The only difference is that "Rear Window" is essentially a Hollywood type film after all, and the story is the core. This is not so important to Antonioni. Does murder really exist? Do corpses really exist? Did Thomas really see it? It seems that it doesn't matter.
