    I finally saw Vitti in color, and her nervousness combined with the noise to make her restless. Antonioni used the foggy factory ship port to embellish the dilapidated and depressing scene with symbolic bright colors to bring out that emotion to the extreme.

    The avant-garde likes to shoot neurotic people, because any abnormal reactions and behaviors are reasonable. For screen construction, it is also easier to display effects. I don't like it. It's not that I don't understand, but I feel boring. I still like to watch movies with reasonable logic, unbroken thinking, and all motives and behaviors within the scope of common sense.
