  • Scene from Michelangelo Antonioni's The Passenger including preceding shot and penultimate shot:
    "The film's penultimate shot consists of a seven minute long take-tracking shot which begins in Locke's hotel room looking out into a dusty, run-down square, pulls out through the bars in the hotel window into the square, rotates 180 degrees, and finally tracks back into the hotel room."

    See the full article for an explanation of how this amazing shot was done.

    It's all about how you end the film. Tarkovsky and Antonioni were masters at finding the perfect ending for their work. For those who are interested, check out the end of 'Solaris' (Tarkovsky's version), 'Stalker' and especially 'Nostalghia,' which has one of the most remarkable final shots I've ever seen. Really, it will leave you speechless.

    Locke's wife didn't speak about Locke, and she answered the question perfectly. She's in shock. Finally understood the end. What a great film. Lets go party.

    In the commentary, Nicholson explained something about then making the set in that they could split it open for the camera for the famous shot and move it back quickly so it looked like the camera moved through the wall.

    Anyone else triggered by the use of colors in this film, and what could it possibly imply?
    During the last stretch of the movie, the colors green and red begin to appear everywhere, from the vegetation even in interiors, to windows and props, as well as the characters clothing. In the ending the protagonist is using a red shirt and the girl is in a light green dress. During this final long take, the girl (in green clothes) starts to walk sideways until she stops in front of a red door. Now, what these colors represent in the movie is up to debate - the green is first introduced with the natural vegetations as the couple is on the run, so it seems that it signifies the act and desire of escaping (from oneself, from the world, from the pursuers, the past, and right at the end the girl can ultimately be considered as Locke's escape, or his temporary refuge). I think the red is quite obvious here, it means danger, an increasingly intense warning that the escape (and Locke's life) is about to end.
    Whether it is from one's own identity and past, from people or situations, from truths or lies, every escape will inevitably come to an end, usually in a tragic manner.

    The ultimate ending is, I think, in Antonioni's 'Identification of a Woman.' I envy whoever gets to watch that film for the first time. When the credits come up at the end you simply feel as if you've left your body and ascended to heaven.

    The house wasn't constructed for this shot, that's nonsense. The bars on the window were cut and moved apart to allow the camera through, it was then attached to a crane.

    Existentialist, in a two-bit word. But the film is worth watching from the very start. And remember the cinematographer Luciano Tovoli. No simple matter working for Antonioni.

    • @jesseakaike1488
      @jesseakaike1488 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Movies are made up of exciting two senses, audio and visual and it is a matter of the suspension of disbelief to make you listen that the movie is talking to you. Movies were first black and white (which most people do not consider it be colors but in scientific clarity it is the color of reality And by your summation that you challenged me, "Let's see if you can explain what the director is telling me," which essentially tells me that you already know thet he is telling us to not believe what you see. Information is essentially audio and people confuse the silence of a page with the ultimate silence, death.
