When I try to communicate, the love disappears

When I try to communicate, the love disappears. Finally, in an inexplicable excitement, I watched the more than ten-minute empty mirror ending of "Eclipse", and I also watched Antonioni's love trilogy. Avoiding and estranged eyes, the relationship between architecture (environment) and people, static vistas, slow-moving figures, in this boring sense of waiting, slow, slow, extremely slow. To love because of loneliness and nothingness, and then to deep nothingness and loneliness because of this love. Inner realism and emotional modernism.

    Re-watching the CC disc, it is definitely the best Antonioni. Except for the "Short Peace" newspaper, the whole film is completely empty. The layer of glass that separates Alain Delon and Monica, the restlessness contained in the silence in the stock market, the change in attitude before and after profit and loss, the carnival under Kenyan music and the silence of the family, several layers of contrasts— —The camera creates estrangement and alienation through the state of people and the subtle sense of distance between them. Antonioni consciously criticized power and love, using the fighting field as an analogy to the stock market, and describing the relationship of lovers as a foreign country. As he himself said, love is the poison of modern society. The critical consciousness is maximized in the iconic montage of a few minutes of empty space at the end, a bird's eye view of the landscape society, and the emptiness of people's heart is also infinitely magnified. The relationship between the three in society is to see and be seen, so everything becomes confusing and confusing. "I wish I never loved you, or loved you a little more." Alain Delon is the greatest actor in Antonioni's image, unique.

    Antonioni is a complete idealist, and the repressed silence in the last seven minutes shattered all the beauty that had just happened. This is already the strongest and most beautiful story in the love trilogy. I didn't expect Europe to be ahead of us for so many years. We are only starting now for things that people have been proud of in the 1960s.
