The color saturation is high and everything has its own unique color. Under the development of modern industry, the individual morbid mental state. Communication barriers, language testing and self-protection. The incoherence and trance of the female protagonist reflect the inner anxiety and pain. You are the thing around me, forget the man's name, these details reflect the nihilistic state of mind of the heroine. No one can go completely into another person's heart.
At the beginning, the heroine wears a green coat, which is out of tune with the gray industrial environment. This also shows her inner estrangement and resistance from that era. Through the chat between the heroine and her husband's friends, I learned that the heroine had a car accident, had a head injury, and her temperament had undergone a strange change in the eyes of ordinary people. After the car accident, her husband didn't even visit her in the hospital because of work. The indifference of feelings and the occupation of life by work is evident. She is sensitive, weak, and fearful. These sometimes sudden emotional and physical perceptions make her miserable, and she is always on the verge of mental breakdown. The single-space interior scene of a gathering of people in the port office where his husband works is about half an hour long. These people were playing boring games, talking boring words, and making boring jokes in the house. This episode reminded me of the scene in "Night" where everyone was playing grid games at the villa reception. It appears that Antonioni has a soft spot for the display of social absurdity and ineffectiveness. The heroine is trying to integrate into the group, but she has never been able to do it, because others have already adapted to the industrialized social environment, and even industrial sewage has become accustomed to it. But the heroine did not. She is someone who values self-existence more. She is more sensitive and can see the sickness of society and the times better. So when the flag symbolizing the outbreak of the disease was raised on the cargo ship, the heroine was the first to ask to leave. , while others seem to be reluctant. I prefer to understand the disease here as "modern disease".
The heroine's son was suddenly unable to walk. At the son's request, the heroine told her son that a girl lived on an island with beautiful coasts and sandy beaches. One day, the girl was swimming in the blue sky and white clouds, the sun was shining and the scenery was unparalleled. The beautiful singing, her son asked her who was singing, and she replied that it was the stones on the beach, everything. After such a beautiful story full of sunshine, my son's legs miraculously healed. This naturalistic story contrasts sharply with the gray and dark tones of reality, and Antonioni's intentions are evident. Finally, the heroine slept with a colleague who had been trying to comfort her, try to understand her, and try to get closer to her inner husband, at the moment when she was most vulnerable, when she poured out all the moments. This is great truth and irony. Antonioni is too accurate about the purposeful behavior of men in their emotions and desires. After all, there is no escape from sex. This is the fate of men and women. There is no pure soul mate, and there is no real friendship. So the heroine saw it clearly and was desperate. The man also lost his previous patience. Facing the female protagonist's muttering and changing emotions, the man picked up his clothes and turned away decisively.
Finally, the son pointed to the smoke from the factory chimney and asked what it was. The hostess said that it was polluted and toxic waste gas, in one sentence.
