A dream, bombing the earth, destroying the universe, only a dream of love

The terrible movie Antonioni made in Hollywood is one of my favorites I've seen so far. The most important reason is that he got rid of the excessive director's self-identity projection in the previous films, and did not get too entangled in the indifferent and isolated living state and spiritual world of the petty bourgeoisie and intellectuals. In fact, although that state is portrayed to the bone, to today's audience, the films are just as blunt, tedious and uninteresting, as pale as the protagonists they represent. "Zabrigis Point" is more alive because it focuses on the struggles of youth in the context of the student movement. Two men and women who were dropped from the social movement discovered a spiritual holy place in the desert. After that, the male protagonist returned to society and went to destruction. The female protagonist could only imagine an explosion in her mind to resist the establishment. Youth, wildness, anger, rebellion, lust, utopia, the repression of capitalist establishment, such themes can travel through time and space. Of course, the sudden insertion of explosion scenes and desert love scenes in the film should be a highlight moment in film history.

The first-person perspective is heartwarming and moving, and the surreal sex and surreal explosions are Antonioni-esque strokes of genius.
